Selfishness Will result you getting robbed on a regular basis. You really want over 70% of society starving? You cant live in a gated community forever.
Lol it won't happen like that. The job market will shift and nikkas will be repairing, cleaning, maintenance etc. Similar to how ppl thought computers would destroy the workplace. But all that happened is nikkas got 10x more work.

Requiring Bachelors Degrees for bullshyt jobs that don’t deserve them is Corporate America’s way of keeping non-whites out of higher paying jobs. Whites on average come from higher income households, are more likely to be able to afford college, are more likely to be pushed to go to college in the first place, are more likely to be able to afford doing unpaid internships in college to get the “required experience” or have the networks to get more exclusive jobs/internships than everyone else. So, by putting bullshyt requirements on job postings that don’t really deserve that level of “education”, you can effectively screen for race without getting directly accused of racial discrimination. In 30 to 50 years kids in school will read history books of this time period and it will be readily accepted and a matter of fact that employers used “Bachelors Degree Required” listings to racially discriminate :mjpls: even though cacs will swear up and down we’re playing the race card today. They’ve done tests that showed that even with the same resume black sounding names got 2-3x less responses than white sounding names and that was black people WITH college degrees. So it’s not about the “education” to begin with. It’s just another mechanism to make sure they can safely keep out the undesirables.

I have a Bachelors and I never used it. :to:I graduated in the thick of the 2009 economic crisis and couldn't get a job in my field for shyt. They were hiring people with ten years experience back then. I went on a lot of interviews and every company I interviewed for had a hardcore cac'd out mayonaisse vibe. :mjpls:

Not every job asks for a Bachelors degree but every official job application has that "diversity" section where you have to disclose your racial background. nikkas can try to be slick and check off "two or more races" in hopes that they think you are a cac who claims to be 1/16th Cherokee Indian and so in tune with the land and spirituality and shyt. :heh: But how does race determine your ability to perform a job? Oh, I forgot, our entire society revolves around white supremacy and the idea that white people are better than us in every way possible. :mjpls:

Most people don't work in the field that they studied in college. There are cacs with history degrees making six figures doing some IT shyt. But at the same time, there are black folk working for the federal government in the DC area making hella mail who have degrees in African American studies. The only institution where a Bachelors puts you at a significant advantage are government jobs. Private sector jobs value experience over education unless you are a cac or a highly fukkable female. :snoop:

If not in school or between apartments/homes. You should not be living with parents. Also you should not be living at home with no job. Any man that can't handle a full time job and school is a damn chump.
I don't agree with this, just because you live with your parents it doesn't make you a loser. I would save that term for someone who literally has nothing going for themself and is not trying at all.

Also let's not act like being a full-time worker and student is some easy shyt because its not :rudy:

Automation only hurts ppl with no skills . Benefits us tech nikkas :mjlit:

Yeah, I'm a software engineer myself. But I'm not counting on it long term. I'm only using the job to get me my investments.

There's a lot of code out there that compiles to other code / generates code outside of generics as well. If it gets extreme only the best and brightest will be around to maintain it.

So who really knows. However, tech sales folks are living right now. My brother got into this recently and dude is banking. One of his friends who got into it made $45k in May, $30k in April and $35k in March :wow: this year on top of his base pay which I think is $70k per year.

What I'm doing is saving all the money I'm earning and keeping my expenses low. No car payment, no/minimal luxury monthly expenses,I learned how to cook, fix my car and do maintenance work on my place myself, I live nearby work so gas prices don't worry me, etc. Everything I have is paid for so no interest rates where I'm giving away free money. Then I could live a life on real estate investments and not work another single day. If I keep the pace I'm on, I'll get there in about 3-5 years from now.

Brehs need to be smart with their money, I know some cats who got a raise and they bought new Audi's and other luxury cars. Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you should spend it.

Remember, the more money you spend, the more you need your job. A lot of young folks are starting to get hip to this.

Software engineering? udemy.com

I'd suggest picking up the html/css/Javascript courses:
The Complete JavaScript Course 2018: Build Real Projects!

if you want to get into the app game:
iOS 11 & Swift 4 - The Complete iOS App Development Bootcamp

Wait until they go on sale for like $10-$20.

Decide what you prefer the front end (the logic to handle the graphics - so if you like animations or like what you see on the screen) or the server side (working with organizing data).

From there next piece of mandatory advice: build a portfolio. From the last step, using either front end or backend skills (or both which is a full stack) make some personal projects. The employers will be looking for it.

That means using the what they taught you in those videos, make some web apps, phone apps or web services: either 2 really flushed out projects or about 5 small to medium-sized ones.

Then start applying.

After about 6 months to a year you'll be more than qualified to start applying and land a $50k-$80k job but has the potential to get you into the $150k range.

Also who knows maybe get a great idea strikes and make a real great phone app that makes a ton of money or a web app that generates a lot of traffic and get paid from that. But at the very least it'll look good in a portfolio.

Regarding tech sales, that's a lot trickier. My brother served a full tour in the Marine Corps, obtained a Bachelors Degree in Math from a prestigious university, was one of the leaders of a frat there and has had 2 sales jobs before - dude is seriously driven, incredibly convincing and persuasive, great with people, persistent and has the resume to back it up. I'm sure you can get in without all those qualifications, but it's tremendously more difficult and you'd have to have an incredible convincing personality (which, is sales).

Thanks, good information. I was leaning more towards IT, but this'll help. Last time did Java and html was in middle school, wow lol. Always wondered how far I could have gotten in it

Well I can speak on the disability part. I was born with cerebral palsy in my mid 30's now. A couple years ago I was dealing w/the job rehabilitation program in my state. I was in the program for a 1yr 1/2 until I got tired of the BS.
I was in one job training program after another with no employment opportunities lined up.

Until nearly a year later. I get sent on an interview to a lady that runs a healthcare facility. Come to find out the lady lives in Florida half of the year, the "interview" was at an apartment complex in a bad neighborhood w/only a nurse and one patient. I started asking the assistant that was leaving "the job" some questions and she didn't sound to crazy about the job.

Before that... I was in job program that was in a bad neighborhood way across town in middle of winter (in another bad neighborhood) and the guy tells me "there is no guarantee" By that summer I said :imoutofhere1: I'm going to take a few classes in the entrepreneurship program.

The thing that I learned while looking for jobs if you don't have prior yrs experience or certain qualifications walking in the door you're fukked. If you're disabled ppl will run you around in circles.

I rather just start a small business.

Man at 36 w/cerebral palsy along w/back & hip problems I'd rather start my own business.

I have a degree to start in the Administrative Assistant field but most job are low pay and you got to have 2+ yrs of experience w/a bunch a qualifications. I don't have the time for the BS. Just too damn demanding.

I feel like idleness is more dangerous for men than women. :jbhmm: With 25-34 year old men, they came of age in a time where they were shut out of the job market. Ten years ago, the youngest of those men couldn't get their first job in high school and the oldest of that age group couldn't start their careers in their mid 20's. In that time frame since 2007-09', many of those young men have been scarred with poor work histories and developed serious bad habits to cope with their stresses (i.e. drug and alcohol abuse and subsequent legal trouble + mental/physical health problems, selling drugs/illegal activity to make ends meet and getting caught and having a criminal record.). When I graduated from college in 2009 and the years following up until a few years ago, the only places hiring like that were temp agencies and none of those jobs were temp to perm. Older generations who never came of age during a serious recession just look at Milennials as being lazy. When some 48 year old hiring manager interviews a 25-34 year old with a spotty resume, they immediately prejudge them as being lazy. And ironically, the job he is interviewing for he is usually overqualified for any way seeing as Milennials are the most educated generation to date and he is applying for some bust your ass UPS/Amazon/Fed Ex gig because those are the only companies hiring that will hire someone who doesn't have twenty years professional experience. :feedme:This perpetuates the cycle of underemployment and unemployment for this age group.
