What is your career and would you or wouldn’t you recommend it?

Software engineer, you can make the most money with the least amount of education. I got a bachelors in something barely related and made nearly a million dollars last year because of stock options. You have to stay on top of your game tho because you will spend a lot of time hanging around autistic nerds and may even become one yourself.

Skilled labor (trades)

Pay is comparable to many professionals but I get to curse and wear rags to work. Also nobody cares if you stink.

I am an ICU nurse. It pays the bills. I get to make a difference and it’s fulfilling in that way. I work 3 days a week, 13hr shifts. I am also on a path to do anesthesia which makes between $160k-220k, but I will need to go back to school. Makes me happy that there is growth in the field like anesthesia, or nurse practitioner. I can go anyone in the US and have a job in 2 weeks that will pay the bills. It’s also filled with women, so you do learn a lot about how they operate, although TRP taught me the most.

All that being said, I would rather make more money, and I wish I went into sales, luckily it’s never to late. If I was to recommend a career to someone it would be to do sales, or a union trade, or becoming a firefighter in a major city. Don’t become a teacher.

At this point I basically feel like Diogenes.

I work as a bartender in a major metropolitan city. Absolutely love it. It’s half a jazz bar, so getting to hear music and different acts makes it so worth it.

Salesbro here. Still new but I absolutely love it. Also helps that I work for a phenomenal company. However it’s not for everybody. It’s the easiest hardest job out there. Anyone who has worked sales knows exactly what I mean.

Pros/you should work in sales if: - You wanna make a ton of money. - You’re good with people and like dealing with them. - You’re ambitious and disciplined. - You get paid based on your performance. - It’s the opposite of boring, I never know what to expect when I wake up in the morning. No two days are the same.

Cons/reasons sales might not be a good fit for you: - It’s hard. If you want a 9-5 where you can mentally check out and go thru the motions, look elsewhere. - It takes grit. Gotta be able to handle rejection. Customers WILL tell you to fuck off - If you get a shitty manager/company it makes it 10 times harder. Your success is very dependent on your environment, your company, your product, etc. - Therefore it can be hard to find a quality situation with limited experience.

All in all the only other job I can see myself doing is entrepreneur running my own business (which I will do one day once I save up enough capital). Sales is the shit.

HVAC. I like to diagnose problems and fix things with my hands and this trade will always be in high demand. The options for work are endless as well. I can work for big corporations, I can work for local businesses, I can work contract for hospitals or schools,I can work behind a desk, I can be a salesman, or I can even own my own business.

But my opinion on a career that has to do with the red pill would be some type of salesman. You literally have to force yourself to be charming, charismatic, and sell yourself and thus sell whatever you’re trying to sell. When your career is based on people liking you, pulling women is a piece of cake.

Patent attorney. It requires a very long process to get into the field, science/ engineering undergrad degree, then law school, then two bar exams, then 5 years to actually learn the job. But once you are in, it is amazing. I help people launch new companies, and new products, and protect them from knockoffs. Very difficult, but very rewarding, and the pay is quite good. Don’t underestimate the importance of doing something you can be proud of.

thegreyone3000 · 2021-04-30T06:28:57+00:00

None skilled tradesmen - (window cleaning + additional services.) Ain’t pretty, ain’t glamorous, and it ain’t flashy, but it does pay way more than any employed job I’ve had, and I’ve had to work just as hard to get it to pay too. Super worth it for my personality. Fucking hate most people and hate being told what to do, so going my own path is perfect.... what ever tickles your pickle though bro 😎

Network engineer in the Air Force. Highly recommend because not only do you learn a valuable skill for a career, you also learn how to sleep well, eat healthy, and exercise regularly. It really helped me pull my head out of my ass. Plus I can do government contacting after getting out after four/six years and make six figs. Also chicks dig a man in uniform lol

Cloud IT guy. I definitely recommend if you get high enough. Only been in the field 2 years and already out earn most people my age (under 30). I chose my degree cause of BP attitude "do what girls do and i will get them" (psychology). IT is where there is a shit tonne of money. But I will mimic what the other IT guy said, you'll hang around autistic nerds so you have to do your best not to be one.

Its worth noting I did sacrifice 4 years of my life to do this and i mean studying late nights, no parties, money for qualifications. And a fuck tonne of charming higher ups in my company to recommend me for an actual IT job. But in 4 years I've increased my salary by astronomical amount. Now I'm slowly becoming a mercenary, moving jobs every year, for bigger pay rises because Cloud IT people are in demand and companies don't show loyalty so why the fuck not.

If you're in IT your passions and your hobbies are essential. I play amateur American Football in europe, so i get my testosterone fuel.

Software engineer and Pentester. Recommend it, it will take a lot of dedication man.

chodoboy86 · 2021-04-30T05:19:29+00:00

I do construction management. Probably the best bang for you buck in education requirements compared to income but it's tough. Long hours, high pressure, mentally draining but well suited to the alpha/RP mindset. Once you make it you can make very good money.

AgentSpacey · 2021-04-30T05:23:08+00:00

Sales, I got into it because I was into pickup and everyone kept saying it’s just like pick up. After 8 years in the biz I started making 6 figures and I would recommend it but be willing to do the work and ride the emotional roller coaster until you really master what you do.

vreshbaby · 2021-04-30T09:27:16+00:00

Financial Risk Management for one of the biggest asset managers in the Netherlands. Pay is really good (top 20% income in the Netherlands) at 25 yo in a market where experience is the main determinant for income (unlike the US). Its maths combined with finance/economics and can be tough at times. I would recommend studying econometrics and persuing a carreer in asset management for sure.

Drakhn · 2021-04-30T12:32:23+00:00

Technology consulting (but more toward strategy) for a large consulting firm

Spirited-Foot · 2021-04-30T14:09:43+00:00

Mechanical engineer in oil and gas industry. Making over $100grand at 5years experience. Hard to get into , but pay is above average for mechanical engineering. I should be making around 180 by age 40. Which is pretty good in my mind. Then 250 by 50 or more.

Would recommend if you like math and fixing broken things. I wouldn’t recommend lesser paying industries like manufacturing or design. Pay is much less.

KurkTheMagnificent · 2021-04-30T14:54:49+00:00

Public accounting; 100% don't recommend. Most blue-pilled scene I have seen yet. 60/40 women to guy ratio and most of the guys are feminine/betas.

I am transitioning into real estate now and plan to do something with commercial real-estate tax down the line as a CPA.

What is more important than college is actually having a purpose before you enroll.
