Grad school or decent paying remote job? I am a zoomer

Grad school or decent paying remote job? I am a zoomer.

So go into debt or apply for 500 jobs that aren't actually looking to hire you? Kek

need a degree for a good remote job, zoom zoom. don't fall for the retards on the internet saying you don't need to go to college, all of the highest paying jobs still require you to have a higher education

yeh. you got a choice:
a) work with your body (pays well, but you're fucked by the time you're 50)
b) work with your mind (saves your body, unless you become a fat office cunt).

Go for an associates minimum in network administration. Starting pay is about 50k for a tier1 level helpdesk. At that point you can get your CCNA and azure fundamentals certificate. After getting 3 years of employed experience slowly apply for different jobs like cloud architecture or data center engineer. They pay 100k average. Im currently on my second year at my work from home job and im following this path.

I went to college, I have a degree and experience it’s not the best on the block but it’s enough to get good remote work. But if I can get into a good law or mba program I could maybe quadruple my earning potential, is that how it works or no, because I’m not watching another fucking YouTube guru tell me to start a business and get rich. I want that white collar money to buy bitcoin and eventually become a flaneur and travel around. That’ll probably change if I get a girlfriend and a family, but I do still have my youth.

Tech certifications seem to be great, and are a lot cheaper than a big name grad school.

Dude jump on that fucking remote job, they got online grad school for almost any major anyway

Yeah that’s what I’m going to do. I don’t really have any aspirations beyond making a bit of money for the near term, I’m not trying to be a TikTok influencer or YouTuber, I just want to make money and invest it in things I believe in.

What kind of grad school? The kind you pay for? Skip it unless it's a professional degree from a top institution.

PhD? Any reputable PhD will offer s stipend and health insurance + housing assistance (if it's in a HCOL area). In that case, go for it, but keep in mind that you're not paying into social security during your PhD, so you'll have to work extra years. It's worth it if you're talking MIT or Stanford PhD, but not if it's FSU.

t. Harvard PhD earning $600K /year in a salary job

I've gotten 4 different remote jobs these last few years. They can be a little tricky to get if you're speicalized but if you have a good skillset you should be able to find one.

I got a PhD too

A Pretty huge Dick

what sort of grad school are we talking about ?
medicine , law? phd?
is it a top 10 program ?
is it in basket weaving or something that pays well?
What is the job? how much do you get paid? do you like it?Could you see yourself doing it for 10 years?

most phd end up teaching in school
only phd only makes money if u have nepotism nigger

That's a weird statement because almost everyone I know with a PhD earns more than $250K a year and I know a ton of them. Of course, most of the people i know with PhDs are from Harvard.. where we are selected from the best of the best.

Thinking Law or MBA. I perform well on the tests but I’m definitely going to work for a few years.

You know there are plenty of people who went to state schools or start companies that make more than that. I have a degree from a decent business program, nothing special, and I’ve been FINE yes I don’t make as much as someone who went to one of the top ten universities but I have zero debt.

Sure - no argument; you seem defensive.

I'm telling you that pretty much everyone I know who went through the program makes $250K minimum. A number of them founded companies valued in the $100M range. PhDs aren't a bad thing and nepotism doesn't play a role - necessarily.

if you are going to get an MBA working for a few years is fine.

If you are gonna go to law school probably bite the bullet sooner rather than later.

top 10 or bust for either option tho.

Yeah but that shit takes years, years you can be making money and job hopping your way to a livable income. Most areas have reasonable enough housing and if you’re not a retard and don’t blow all of your money you can live and save very well. Especially when you have geographic flexibility.

Yes the thing is I still need to be in EST there’s Buenos Aires I guess and maybe some parts of Mexico, Panama maybe?

decent paying remote job

Why would anyone not take this ?

Anything IT or project management if you want remote

IT doesnt have to be code monkey, there are a lot of paths

I am a zoomer.

You fucked up. Better luck next time.

You would regret not going to school to get as much prime teen pussy.

Its a tough call anon
Keep in mind everything has a cost
Grad school will take time, opportunity, and your sanity (people gloss over this one), and job prospects narrow outside of your chosen field
Jobs now will give you skills and a foundation for your resume, assuming you get a decent non-dead-end job, which are getting rarer

t. STEM PhD

Grad school, you should still be building skills not hermit mode

GSAS admits primarily on merit. My cohort was roughly 30% state school, 20% elite private school, 30% European, and 20% SEA.

I attended a community college. There were several people in my cohort of 40 with similar stories.

The college is a different beast entirely and there are major points awarded for having networks with the right people.

Especially true in disciplines like the biological sciences. Gotta be dedicated to get an academic job in that area.

The smartest ones got in on the management consulting pipeline their first year and mastered out. I also know a few people who went into quantitative finance such as DE Shaw/2 Sigma - they made the big bucks. And then there were the guys who dicked around with machine learning and/or quantum computing and ended up heading teams at places like Intel/google.

Point is, if you're moderately intelligent, surround yourself with smart people, and have five years to explore ideas without the pressure to survive - you can turn a PhD into something very lucrative.

remote job doing? i'd lean remote job.

If jobs are not hiring, apply for a german or swiss phd program. They give high stipends (roughly 60k usd/yr), a pension, which is transferrable if you leave the EU, and a relatively low cost of living (roughly 600 usd/month rent in a large city).
American phd programs gives you shit stipends, less than 40k/yr unless you live in Commiefornia.
Also, EU schools have good industry connections so it's easier to get a job after you graduate
Also, don't go for unfunded programs as they are a scam.

If you can do grad school without taking out student loans, go for it.

If you have to take out student loans, don't do it. Take the job, save some money, and if you still want to do grad school, take a year or two to figure out how to go without taking loans.

t. mid 6 figures in student loan debt

Most phds aren't actually worth it from a financial perspective. The people making 200k could have made the same amount without the degree, especially if the additional years of salary were invested in the market. PhDs are more for less quantitative benefits like enjoying your job more because you are doing research and not the typical grind.

Grad school in what? In some cases an MA is the under bachelors degree but a PhD is completely unadvisable unless you're going into medicine or something like that. PhD in the humanities or some sciences like mathematics is career suicide for entering the workforce, you're pretty much locked in for life into ultracompetitive and tiny job markets.

all of your decisions need to reflect the fact that we will be involved in a full scale global war within the next 3 years

be in college, avoid meat grinder for a while

stack up a little money now and buy some guns, ammo, fishing stuff, and a comfy bug-out van

either way you need to be prepared to have your plans messed up by "the war" the same as everyone's plans got messed up by "the pandemic"
