In a perfect world, what career would you have chosen?
« on: Wed, 26 April 2017, 02:53:34 »
Programmer, hands down. Math was not good enough, so I started law school. Hated it. So went for psychology. All of a sudden, I turned out to be a natural in statistics after all. Now regret.

What career would you have chosen if you could do it over again? Pimp? Engineer? Full time mom? IT?

I would skipped a career and been born with rich parents. I would have spent my short life blowing engines in various WRXs, snorting coke and surrounding myself by expensive hookers... dying at the tender age of 25 partly due to my massive drug addiction, partly due to the multiple STDs but mostly because  I crashed my brand new STI into a lamp post.

One can only dream....

hahaha..

Living in the first world, you are already guaranteed a living as long as you're willing to do ANYTHING at all..

If you define your world by what you want, be it , want to do or want to have..   Then you are at the fundamental level giving control to the people who already have command of resources..

Typical humans are driven by drugs / sex / and alcohol..   The older generation of influence are already in position to provide you those things far cheaper than you can produce on your own,   IN EXCHANGE for your life-on-earth, to maintain, yet their own pointless existence..


It's more productive to think of the larger collective goal, where you'd like to see humanity move and go..

Well...
Currently working as a programmer, a profession I've schooled myself since maybe 93-94 since I was a kid.
So you can say I'm working my "dream job".

But as the time passes, I miss working with my hands, and more manual work.

I would like to be able to live nicely working as car shop for restoring vintage oldtimer cars and motorcycles.
Or even carpentry. But alas, that kind of profession is not paid well here. So I'm sticking to programming.

When I was 7-10 years old, I wanted to build an armored suit for myself that filtered my blood and intestines so that I wouldn't even have to take it off to go to the bathroom. Additionally, I wanted to build battlemechs from the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe and take over the world with them. The closest thing I could think of to get me there was mechanical engineering or robotics, but I didn't pursue those when I got older for some reason (probably because of math).

Around age 13, I started to study German. I wanted to be a translator and/or interpreter. This passion carried through to college, and I started as a German major. I figured I'd add more languages down the road (I was a novice at French and knew a few sentences in Russian and Japanese). Then I learnt that it's really necessary to major in something else as a translator because translators need specialized knowledge in an industry, so I dropped the German major. After screwing around in science for a year, I settled on an MIS degree. Now I work in software support and hate it.

I wish I'd either gone down the mechanical engineering or robotics path or continued down the language path. As I got older, I just wanted to find something easy that I knew I could do and get a job. Now I regret my haste and feel stuck doing what I'm doing because of current life circumstances.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

If I was to play this game I'd probably say electrical & mechanical engineer. I even wrote to LEGO to see about designing sets for them back in the days.

or...

The professional sport route; professional skateboarder with a shoe deal, a Superbowl ad spot, and a Gleaming The Cube II movie deal. Nothin' fancy.

Sponsors: NIKE SB, Jamba Juice, Orville Redenbacher, and Chocolate Skateboards product for everything else. Plus movie royalties. I'm no stunt double  :))

I would have stayed in IT but would have tried to get into mainframes/mini computers (ie as/400 & i-series.)

My first job determined my career path which has mostly been data processing for the graphic arts industry.  I hear there are still a lot of jobs for legacy systems though not quite as many as say javascript/c#.  Despite the complaints of programmers retiring and/or dying they all still expect 10+ years of experience which makes breaking into that area challenging.

Programmer. I know people will say "it's not too late to learn" etc. between trying to finish my degree, working overtime every week, and being a parent.. it is hard for me, personally, to learn. I'm slowly learning HTML ccs

Just as there are so few asian american female pr0n stars.

It's considered shameful, but especially so in asian society.

It's obviously prostitution whether or not it's filmed..

Typically asian americans have no trouble acquiring and holding down jobs more profitable and less "socially damning" than pr0n star


The majority of female performers in pr0n are on the bottom rung of society,  trailer park, little or no education, poverty line families..


US, typically do not let people into the country from asia without a bachelors degree, so in general, we don't see men or women go that low as to need the types of desperate income.



But of course as we move forward.. as asian americans become influenced by drug culture after several generations,  there should be a normalizing of races..


So, basically ,  at the most current,  There are more poor white people than poor asian people in america by a significant amount.

If I was to play this game I'd probably say electrical & mechanical engineer. I even wrote to LEGO to see about designing sets for them back in the days.

or...

The professional sport route; professional skateboarder with a shoe deal, a Superbowl ad spot, and a Gleaming The Cube II movie deal. Nothin' fancy.

Sponsors: NIKE SB, Jamba Juice, Orville Redenbacher, and Chocolate Skateboards product for everything else. Plus movie royalties. I'm no stunt double  :))

Hmm... if I were to go sports route, I would become either body builder or racing cyclist. Dat motion... feel so good.

I would have stayed in IT but would have tried to get into mainframes/mini computers (ie as/400 & i-series.)

My first job determined my career path which has mostly been data processing for the graphic arts industry.  I hear there are still a lot of jobs for legacy systems though not quite as many as say javascript/c#.  Despite the complaints of programmers retiring and/or dying they all still expect 10+ years of experience which makes breaking into that area challenging.

Really hardcore stuff would also be cool, something that is the basis for other IT.. assembler / C / compiler optimization, OS scheduler. Firmware.

PORN.
STAR.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not a good occupation.

you could never pick your head up for the rest of your life, and no one outside of pr0n wants anything to do with you..



BUT,, if you're the type of person who could stomach that sort of thing..  heck yea.. best job ever..

Also, you are worrying like hell constantly whether you have AIDS / STD.

Why are there no Asian male porn stars? It sounds like the setup of a joke, but I honestly cannot think of a single one.

Small penises.

SO MUCH THIS.

Man, even in a perfect world I work too much

I'm workaholic. Seriously: I love to work 60-70 hours a week. Why? Because I can focus on some interesting stuff (l like my research) AND NOT having to think about crap social bull**** I don't care about. In my private live, people have interrupted me SO MANY TIMES.

"I don't have time."
- come on, build a PC for me. I'm your friend.
"I don't have time."
- you are a ****ty friend

Now that I have work it's easier: "gotta work, fu"

Just as there are so few asian american female pr0n stars.

It's considered shameful, but especially so in asian society.

It's obviously prostitution whether or not it's filmed..

Typically asian americans have no trouble acquiring and holding down jobs more profitable and less "socially damning" than pr0n star


The majority of female performers in pr0n are on the bottom rung of society,  trailer park, little or no education, poverty line families..


US, typically do not let people into the country from asia without a bachelors degree, so in general, we don't see men or women go that low as to need the types of desperate income.



But of course as we move forward.. as asian americans become influenced by drug culture after several generations,  there should be a normalizing of races..


So, basically ,  at the most current,  There are more poor white people than poor asian people in america by a significant amount.

These guys acting like they don't know JAV is a thing.

As for the topic question, I always wanted to play in the NBA but I'm a 6'2" white guy who likes to play in the front court. Whoops.
