Post fraudulent personal incomes below + field + how you got there

I dunno bro i dropped out of grade 10 and got a ged later and have been working poverty jobs on and off ever since.

What do you like doing?

Working sucks if you don't enjoy the day to day tasks.

I've got a comp sci degree, and have been in my industry for going on 4 years. I started at $60k gross, now I'm roughly $110k gross, overtime + bonuses help. I'm debt free, no student loan, no car loan, pay off credit cards weekly. I work from home every day, mostly thanks to COVID tbh, and get chores and chit done while I'm working on most days, no commute is nice for saving time and gas money. Playing the stock market with my excess money because I'm trying to really push myself to be able to retire early. Guess it's not a good indicator for my career choice that I'm in my mid twenties and just want to focus on retiring as early as possible.

I know guys that got into my job, leaving sales, but having to take a paycut in doing so because they made so much off of overtime and commission. Pay cap in STEM is usually in the upper $100k's or lower $200k's if you don't want to become a director/executive/manager along the way, unless you live in New York or California perhaps. Paycap in STEM sales is honestly much much higher. If you've got a good STEM background, get into sales, and you're not afraid to talk to potential companies executives and directors who could be prospective customers, you can make surprising money, know someone that recently cleared over $400k+.

I’m a bit of a weird case.

I am making roughly 240G a year currently.
This includes my full time software engineering position as well as only ****s account however.

Generally software engineers can net 100-150 , but of can net you easily 100G if you’re smart about it

Stemcells are the tradies of the corporate world. Businesscells run the show and make the real bank.

ldar.

Ever considered modelling for a fitness place like bodybuilding.com?

Or applying to the local zoo’s gorilla exhibit?


Hope you’re doing fine in the money side bro srsWorking out, and possibly helping people.

Borderline considering becoming a psychologist since I already know most of the material srs

But don’t want abject poverty either

Don't the business brahs have to corporate it up or be daddy'd

This

Truthpill to hard to swallow for stemcels
Inb4 cope

How much money is the goal? You can make a decent change in healthcare but most careers in healthcare take a decent amount of time.

Not sure. It'd depend on where I live and COL there. Say 60-100k USD.

You're a doctorbrah right?

The closest health fields I've considered are physio and psycho, or maybe a paramedic

This.

Yeah, I’m a physician.

You should be able to make that fairly reasonably with any reasonable college degree (I.e not liberal arts or fine arts). An entry level job with one promotion will get you to 60k-70k range, in about 1-3 years. If work hard, you’d get to 80-100k range within 5 years.

Healthcare is fairly standardized. Most people make similar pay for a given role. If you can get into a licensed profession in healthcare, your job is pretty safe.

You should become a nurse. There are nurses in CA making $90+ an hour without night/weekend differentials on a flat 36 hr week. Imagine picking up a 12 hr night shift along the way too.

Corporatecel is the real money maker if you go into a management role in a publicly traded company. Stock awards every year + pay increases if you’re a top performer = huge long term compounding if you’re smart and invest.


Stemcels have higher starting salaries, but from my experience most of them are autists/insufferable types that can’t really problem solve in a dynamic/people setting outside of their narrow fields of expertise. Also, their salaries tend to cap out at a certain point.


Most of the money being made is in decision making type of jobs - that’s the truth.

I'm studying biochemistry currently. Have considered switching into a different stem. What was your undergrad?As long as I don't have to wipe after old people or make tiktok dancers, it sounds something suitable for me.

But not in CA lmao. Unless I did a brief money maxxer stint there, except I'm Canadian.How does one get into those type of rolls? Where do they start?

Craftsmencel.

The bad news is a lot of those jobs have a high barrier to entry - meaning you have to be good with people, be dependable, and play the game.

Most of the people that end up in those jobs tend to be sociopathic/narcissist types srs….it’s the only way to keep the job/keep moving up as everyone wants you to fall to take your place.

Stemcel plus top mba probably

My major was in finance. I was a career changer.

Best major is engineering for sure, especially if you maintain a high GPA. You can pretty much do anything you want afterwards.

ComputerScienceCel, leetcode, get big tech job. probably better than going to med school (for the most part) when you look at the opportunity cost of studying more years, better flexibility/work environment with programming jobs, no need to deal with patients/customers directly etc.

my company pays new grad soft eng with a Bachelors $190k+, super good work life balance, remote friendly

Could always fix windshields for car dealerships. Nvm that’s just an Eatforgains thing lol.

anecdotally, me and a circle of friends, we're all in different areas of IT. From what I can tell it is the fastest way to increase pay that I've ever seen. I went from a 32k a year cop to over 6 figures and I think I'm at about 7 years in? Could be faster, my sister (also former cop) started a better path but will be making more than me and she's been in IT for 4 years.

Or you could buy a stump grinder and charge $500 for 10 minutes of work if the tradies around me prices are anywhere near the national average.

The only real way to make good money is to have your own business or be a top grad who gets a job as a techie manager in the development or engineer department. Tech sales guys also do well.

I’m gonna move over to the management and engineering side in the electrical field when I get older. That’s usual what a lot of guys in the union do if they don’t want to open their own shop.

Being a shop owner really isn’t for everyone.

Being in any other field but stem or in a high paying trade union like the ibew , you’ll probably want to kill yourself.

Your pay will never catch up or be decent compared to the COL in this country unless you work remote in some dirt cheap area and the boring 9-5 rat race with TPS reports will make you want to murder your boss and burn the whole building down.

Get a good , in demand , marketable skill. STEM or high tier union trade.

Career Paths and Earning Potentials:

Low End to Livable Income: Entry-level positions in various fields typically fall into this category. This could include junior roles in administration, retail, customer service, or early-stage careers in trades. These roles often require less specialized education and training.
Decent Livable Income + Some Income: Mid-level professional roles often fall into this category. Examples include experienced sales professionals, software developers, middle management in various industries, and skilled tradespeople. These positions often require specific skills, experience, or education.
Moneymogger (High Income): This typically includes senior roles in corporations (like senior management and executives), specialized professions (like doctors, lawyers, investment bankers), and high-level technical roles (like senior software engineers, data scientists). Entrepreneurship can also lead to high income, albeit with higher risk.
Best Options in Specific Fields:

Sales: Earning potential can vary widely. Entry-level sales positions might offer modest salaries plus commission, while experienced sales professionals, especially in high-value industries (like tech or pharmaceuticals), can earn substantial incomes.
Programming: A career in software development can be quite lucrative, especially as you gain experience and specialize in in-demand technologies. Senior developers, architects, and those in niche areas like AI and cybersecurity often command high salaries.
Average Office Roles: This can include a wide range of jobs, from administrative assistants to project managers. Earnings vary based on the role, industry, and level of responsibility.
Chemist: A chemist's salary depends on their specialization and industry. Those in pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and biotechnology often have higher earning potential.
Other Viable Careers:

Careers in healthcare (nurses, doctors, specialists)
Engineering (various disciplines)
Finance and accounting
Education (teachers, professors, especially in higher education)
Information Technology and Cybersecurity
Creative fields (design, writing, media) can vary widely but offer potential.
Flexibility for Expatriating:

Careers in technology, especially programming, are often more flexible for expatriating due to remote work possibilities.
Teaching English as a second language is a common path for expatriates.
International corporations often have opportunities for overseas assignments in various roles.
Consulting can also be a flexible career for expatriating.
Regarding sharing fraudulent personal incomes, it's important to remember that honesty and integrity are crucial in any professional field. Misrepresenting personal income or qualifications can have serious consequences.

Corporate cells are the decision makers and make the most bank.

However you have to be aware as you work your way up or else you’ll find yourself my age being a manager of a department making $125k. Nothing wrong with that but some extra time and work earlier in your career, some actual personality, and very importantly advocating for yourself could instead land you on the executive team making 2 1/2x that plus 25% bonuses. Not exactly CEO $10k per day but enough to put you inside the top 5% of all earners.

Good luck boyo.
