>tfw the only high paying, respected jobs are unfulfilling autistic STEM shit
I don’t give a fuck about le coding xD, or electrical Engineering or w/e. I’m a normal human being not some Big Bang nerd. I just wish I could buy some farmland somewhere. Why are all the fulfilling jobs like teaching or non profit work so low paying, but Rain Man freaks with the soul of an insect make bank doing some insect minded work.

i just applied to a job where one of the tasks is picking up dogshit. idgaf, it's all dealing with dogshit as far as i am concerned, might as well go straight to the source.
Elijah Roberts
it's not you have all the banking related jobs which are good, i know expert accountants get paid very well in my country
you also have the law related work, however it has lot of candidates and you need friends in the right places
Easton Roberts
Sorry, you can't be stupid and earn bank anymore.
Jayden Perez
Why don't you do something that makes you feel fulfilled and fills you with eudaimonia?
I'm a therapist (just started so I might regret it in some years, who knows) and while a lot of people here hate on my career choice, I feel happy helping others and I earn a decent salary...

Daniel Nguyen
As an engineer, I really agree with you. I see so many people that dropped out of my program in university, they were pushed to do something they couldn't do. It's like asking a fat gamer to play ball with the varsity team. We really need more positions for people without STEM gifts
John Ramirez

In my saddest days, I was a suicidal, obese mess posting on /r9k/ (never fell for the racism meme desu). It really helped me empathize with my patients, going through all that shit and seeing and experiencing all those thoughts that teens and young adults come to talk to me about makes it easier for me to help.
Ryan Edwards
> We really need more positions for people without STEM gifts Are you a fucking socialist? Market decide if autists are needed or not.
Jaxon Lopez
Buddy I work for an automotive parts supplier. We make components that go into hybrid luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes. There is literally no essential role our company plays in the economy except some Saudi Prince can buy a hybrid S-class. There is nothing fulfilling about this job and I have no respect for the insects who literally enjoy designing a circuit board.

Hi OP idiot, in America you are paid what your skills are worth. This worth is assigned by what people are willing to pay for the product you produce. Autistic stem nerds make things everyone uses (phones, websites, etc), so their skills are worth a lot. It’s not that complicated.
Or if you’re such a chad then go into finance or law and make big bucks. But you have to be a smart chad. If you’re not, tough luck, welcome to poverty
Lincoln Lee
Grew up in New York City where 100 grand a year just makes life ok but got into Maritime because I'm good with my hands and stuff like that. I work 6 months out of the year for a full years salary 2 weeks on 2 weeks off and moved to a rural area. They fly me to and from work where ever they need me while paying it all and working one job is enough to live very very comfy.

Jayden Gutierrez
And soon user you will be unable to gain your perverse pleasure of boxing components for pay as the automation and blockchain train renders your poor ass obsolete. so sad
Lincoln Hill
The role you have described your company is playing in the economy may not be “essential” but someone is paying for you product so you have a good job. Whether or not you respect nerds making circuit boards is immaterial. Ethics/respect/emotions have no place in a market based economy. If you cry about this no one will listen because you have already lost and this is the way things are.
Nathaniel Johnson
Idiot what part did I miss? I answered the question, his “fulfilling” jobs pay shit because anyone can do them (unskilled)
Logan Smith
You will be obsolete very soon
Not government provided positons, but colleges need to change their degrees and education so tjat less intelligent people can still find ways to be productive. A non engineering/medicine degree is useless nowadays
Nathan Phillips
I don't know OP.... you clearly are autistic, so maybe you should consider STEM. Just a thought.
Also: this thread sucks donkey balls.
Julian Hill
I work in administration.
The company just exists to fuel the consumption driven economy so Saudi princes can buy Mercedes so I can get paid and buy a new iPhone every year. Whole system is immoral and should be destroyed.

Jaxson Taylor
If you don’t like it then do something about it? Run for office? I am (clearly) a stem autist and I don’t do tech work because I care about feeling a consumption based economy or anything meta like that, I do it because i want to earn a decent wage in a high cost of living area and raise emotionally balanced children that will take care of me in my old age.

Hahahahahahaha what a faggot. Hope this fag gets a terminal illness and gets denied medicine for being naive and stupid enough to crticize scientists and engineers

What are you, a fucking woman? The reason your shit jobs pay low is because any brainlet can do them.
Thomas Price
Dealing with numbers all day is soulless unless you’re an autist
So you admit you don’t actually enjoy or find fulfillment in your job?
Cameron Cruz
Vast majority of scientists and engineers are not making breakthroughs anywhere. They’re improving next years iPhone or making another antidepressant for you to get hooked on.
Bentley Sullivan
>Dealing with numbers all day is soulless Again, you probably just have low testosterone.
Matthew Long
It’s just work bro. i Work in robotics. It’s stimulating enough. When I don’t like a job enough I leave, and have the mobility to do so because i adopted the mindset I described above early enough to become solidly employable with advanced robotics education
Tyler Cruz
finally someone I agree with on /biz. We are all browsing this forum because we're victims pitted against each other.

Bleeding hearts like OP aren't actual bleeding hearts, they are delusional and lack self awareness. 99% of labor in human history did not feel "meaningful".
One of the benefits of working for non-profits etc is enabling your own narcissism (patting yourself on the back). The "meaningful work" aspect is "priced-in" to the salaries of these jobs since the labor supply is so high and they generate little revenue. If meaning was TRULY was what you wanted, you could work a comfy, easy job that paid a lot, and volunteer doing meaningful things for charities. But no, you want to have free time to start a family, travel, do drugs, jack off, or whatever AND be able to be wealthy doing meaningful work.
You can be bored, or poor. You have to pick one unless you were born rich/talented.

Laboring in the past was about pure survival. Today it is all about consuming like good Goyim. Household consumption is 70% of GDP; if gentiles like you didn’t buy Starbucks everyday and wear polo the economy would collapse overnight. Corporations literally programmed us to be this way
James Diaz

Nolan Gutierrez
Dude you are completely ignoring what we are saying. I understand and acknowledge the fact that we have a consumption driven economy. What we are saying is that we are playing within the rules of the game to maximize our comfort. If you really have a problem with the way our society functions, you have two choices, attempt to change it or play within the boundaries. Right now you are doing neither, just whining.
Julian Walker
STEM isn't just coding you know. I'm a chemical engineer in the medical field and travel around the world a lot. Ya, some people I work with are a bit weird, but there's plenty of normal people in my field. Also the m/f ratio is a lot better than most STEM areas, which is nice.
Brayden Bennett
I wish I could find that stuff interesting but I really can’t. I don’t give a fuck about coding or engineering or chemistry etc. completely beats me how someone can find this interesting. I mean if you’re just doing it for money I get it but don’t act like you enjoy your job.

English isn’t your strong suit either, is it? So what do you like doing? That other people care about enough to pay for?
Benjamin Nguyen
What would it take for wages to stop stagnating like they've been since the 70s?
Jeremiah Long
English is not your first language. There was nothing wrong with that phrasing. If you read books instead of the periodic table you’d know.
Aiden King
I never thought I'd be a coder either. But I have to eat and there was no other field where I could actually find a job so I devoted a lot of time leaning it and now I have a developer job. I feel bad for all of the college kids now thinking they're entitled to do what they love or what it says on their degree. Sorry, but that's not how the world is anymore. Unless you're rich.

If you said “you are of the same mentality” instead of “you are the same mentality” it would be correct. A human can not be a mentality.

Why the fuck would you regret it. You can save up and rent your own office space and build a practice. You dont have to even keep seeing patients in the next 5 years if you play your cards right. You can be playing golf with your lawyers and psychiatric pharmaceutical reps while your underlings provide a steady stream of income.

Why don't you just move to a farm, become a teacher, live a modest life financially and just relax? You're trying to argue that you should be rich for no good reason. What is rich going to get you that a simpler job won't?

There is plenty of farm land with old Armenian farmers in Fresno where my brother in law is from just looking to help people get rich farming. In fact farming right now is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to get rich right now if you are willing to put in the work. Let’s be honest though you are the type that refers to people who like getting jobs done as autistic in order to delude yourself into blanking out that you have not developed a working discipline.

The thing is that normies like you are so brainwashed they literally can’t comprehend how fucked up this is. Keep buying stuff, goy.
