Career, is there such a thing?

[Jerome Scuggs]

:up:

Modern society trains people to desire materialism over everything.
A modern working mum will sacrifice seeing her children in return for a nicer house and car. To use a Tyler Durden quote "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need".
And people are fooled into spending a large percentage of their lives, if not the majority, doing menotenous tasks they dont enjoy.
So called "progress" is nothing more than destruction. Destruction of the environment, of our relationships, and our self-fulfillment.
People are continously baited by the carrot on the string to keep going. One more payrise and we will reach that happyplace of contentment, or a few more years and that technological breakthrough will occur. In reality all we are doing is digging ourselves in an emotional, social, and environmental hole.

So in that sense the majority of jobs are "useless". Although most people dont have the insight to recognise it, and will stumble blindy through there life wondering why they are miserable.. They will however be prescribed with enough antidepressants to keep them functioning.

You divide the population of the world into two groups:

1. the people in general, who are materialistic, greedy, and selfish to the point of ignoring their own children...

2. and you, who sit above and beyond these people - able to perceive all their wrongs, and able to give us exactly what we need.

you are one conceited motherfucker.

I think a lot of your political views will change as your kids grow older and/or you move out of Texas.

HAHAHA NO MORE COUNTY WARRANTS FOR ME

[kthx]

Yeah tagmor that is what most people who end up living in trailers with 15 kids say.

I would much rather make money and have a nice house for my kids to grow up in instead of worrying if the next tornado is going to hit my row of trailers or not.

It's not news....

that jobs dont make money...
money makes money....
also...time makes money..
as younger as you can see it,the better.

Did you know that 90% of the US workforce is "Employed" or "Self-Employed" and only controls 5% of the wealth in the country? "B-type Businesses" and "Investors" are only 10% of the US Workforce and control 95% of the country's wealth.

S and E types trade time for $, the more time you put into your job/career the more money you get, but in most every career there is a cap at how much you can make. I(nvestors) trade $ for more $$, but B-types LEVERAGE a system to work FOR them to make a constant flow of income that may never have a limit. (see Franchises)

Quite interesting especially when the sheeple of America are TOLD from day 1, to get schooling, degrees, student loans, jobs etc etc. and they believe this is how things are done and that there is nothing else.

You don't have to take my word for it though, just look into Robert Kiyosaki and his Cashflow Quadrant.

They should. You have to get schooling, degrees, student loans, jobs etc. to become a successful investor (and I'm not talking about people that get real lucky home investing, which is a very small minority). I got my Finance Bachelors and then my MSF. I worked hard, and now I have a job, and I'm still paying off student loans.

Sure, I could become an investment banker, work on Wall Street, whatever, but making more and more money isn't what's important in life. I'll be a Financial Advisor (or Manager), for whatever corporation keeps me, for the rest of my life because it's what I like to do and it's stable.

some occupations may be useless - by what standards?

if a job was useless, it wouldn't be done. if a service was useless, it wouldn't be purchased.

of course, governments hire people where they are not needed, to perform services that were not demanded. but that's government.

your post has way too many ignorant assumptions for me to even begin to attempt a more thorough post... good luck on your drunk soul-searching. this is what happens when you post your tits on the internet.

and yet one more drone hoping and trying to convince themselves that they are unique and rare diamonds in the rough.

yes I'm sure there aren't younger asian chicks with bigger tits/look better than you/are sluttier than you with less experience that would get hired within a month of you leaving the way the economy around the world is right now. And when I say I'm sure there aren't, I'm sure there are.

you're as easily replaceable as the bottle of denial you're downing to make the worries go away

[T3l Ca7]

But let's not go off the track ... I am so disheartened. I am looking for a reason to live, a passion, a real passion, a consuming, can't-live-without, large-than-life passion. And maybe the cause for this kind passion does not exist.

Maybe we should just settle to be a bunch of monkeys who see the show unfolds.

[T3l Ca7]

Anyone know of a poor established Plumber or Electrician? Good career to have.

Useless occupations are those that work for others in large corporations, hinged on the fact that they are always expendable and offer nothing but data entry and dime a dozen computer skills of which the person can be replaced every year by someone else for less salary and benefits. Plenty of skilled people out of work that will take a job for less pay and be just as productive.

So TelCat...what are these skills that you may have that are above others that would make you special and not to be replaced once you are costing a company more than your worth?

I do not work for a large corporation. I am a software developer in a finance company.

So why do I claim I have some skills?

First of all, finance love people who have a finance background but very good with maths, preferably have a degree in maths/physics or engineering. I have a degree in engineering and postgrad degree majored in finance.

Second of all, with my last job, I have been a consultant (a fancy term for a BA or a developer who works directly for the clients on company's behave), and I have worked on projects for a few banks. It looks good on my resume, although to tell you the truth, the business knowledge I have learned from those 2 years as a consultant is not as much as what I have learned in the first half year at my current job.

Third, I have 5+ years software development experience (some are part time).

Fourth, I am not too sure whether you are familiar with the front office environment in investment banking. Basically I work with people who make a lot money. Bonus of half million a year is very common. But higher the return, higher the risks. Half of the people come to become traders won't last half a year. It isn't just for everyone.

To be in such a environment, you have to be tough. I am both tough and aggressive, very suitable for such a role :greedy:

And most important of all, all my friends who have my skill set & experience and is working in the finance field are either earning at least 50% more than I do or without a job (because of the financial crisis), retrenched from jobs with salary twice more than what I am earning <_<
