@0supahgatovian11 you will probably start out with desktop support positions and that’s fine.
That’s where you learn the foundations.
You can move into higher level jobs as the years go by. You will be able to talk to people in different fields and watch what they do.

Desktop support guys are into gaming and building PCs so you will make good friends

They are young like you so it will be perfect

Tech isn't easy but it's so much better than doing unskilled labor

Yes true

I have a friend who does nothing but work and he makes 11 an hour

I have a relative that spreads concrete. He gets paid in cash and it’s not steady work .

No way to build a career

Once a young man starts an entry level tech job they should start a vanguard account and put money into dividend stocks on a monthly basis. Retire when they want to, probably early.

That’s good advice for any working man period

You can retire young if you don’t have an ex wife and three step kids to pay for , haha

I agree

Yeah I just started using budgeting software to help with that

Otherwise I spend too much

Young guys are using the robin hood app too. It looks cool for investing

lol im using acorns

I spend about 900 - 1200 on living expenses

I use gnucash - free, open source, no one sees your data

Oh cool

@Nawalter Jizney good you keep track

Do you invest in anything but index funds

That’s transportation and recreation included, if I go over that it’s business

@_KATO_

It might go up in a few months since I’ll get a super nice bump in pay do to stuff I’ve been working on

those ideas of just starting in desktop support

it really depends on where you want to end up

I’ll probably get better quality food and good supplements

@Shad Grimgravy I am out of index funds now. I invest in three funds on vanguard .com
Two dividend stock ETFs and one REIT
I recommend watching you tube vids to explain these better than I can , haha

so guys, any aspirations that you guys have attained? or are you still working on them? I kind of want to take on acting and see how that goes. Not having a wife/gf can really open doors for you

you want to develop embedded control software for Space X? You want to do machine learning at google? You want to fix the computer of Stacy in Accounting?

you just want to write code for some IT infrastructure?

Learning to draw, already know how to code. Want to make games on the side

@0supahgatovian11 you never really stop, even if you achieve something you need to replace it with something else, lest you fall into decay

@0supahgatovian11 always be learning. Never stop learning and updating your tech certs.
Anything can happen , one phone call and you are back on the job market.
I have my CCNA but im studying for another cert too, just in case

At first I wanted everything super fast but once I realized the nature of self actualization I figured it’s better to be nice and steady

@0supahgatovian11 it is totally cool doing IT administration type jobs, it depends on what you want

@Nawalter Jizney well said

Life is a wonderful journey

Not to be rushed

Yeah mastering a skill usually takes years

Yeah don’t or else you’ll burn out, hard
