once you get some rep/cv you can work 3 months contracts on specific projects, it pays well and has the certainty of temporariness to keep you on your toes @Arthur Grayborn

I think you could work on humility.... You sound like you are ready to argue with the guy who gives you a paycheck.

Just do it, but unironically

Then come up with a different stratagem

I'm angry as fuck because there are no high standards online degree programs that actually mean something, unless you've got hundreds of thousands of dollars lying around.

There are

Cisco certifications

Microsoft certifications

Stop ducking crying about online certs

Certs won't give you the benefit of the doubt at a new job.

Catfish men on tinder use the money to buy your 30k online degrees

after i got my masters from a non-famous cooleg, i worked for 2 years, got a publication to a great chemistry journal, and got myself a fully funded PhD offer from UofChi

Oracle certifications

Improvise adapt overcome

And just ducking build something

arthur

ultimately you need to just work

You don’t need certs to get in

dunno about the US but here in the uk you can get into entry level jobs and then get the company to certify you --- if you're good enough

Jesus Chris f

no excuses

@svarozhyc yeah this

Companies will care so much more about what you have on your github

No adversity, no strength

Than what ducking oracle cert@you have

This too @PureEvilPie

@Arthur Grayborn you are not as fragile as you think

Suffer for your desires

Stoically

@Arthur Grayborn get messy, make mistakes

Fuck the certification! Just use your "intellect" and make something useful. If you build it someone will notice and market it for you if it isn't shit.

its how you learn

Suffering is the path to salvation

@Arthur Grayborn *Have* you worked on any projects that you could show to your potential employer?

@Ferris "but i don't make mistakes i'm perfect ;D;D;D"

What are you disgusting fucks doing?

What part of "5% of the time, pretty randomly, I just fucking shut down because I have god damned autism" do you not fucking understand? I need an employer who can understand that, maybe tomorrow or maybe sometime next month, I'll duck into a dark cleaning closet and not come out for three fucking hours.

...and I need a boss who won't fire me the first time it happens.

Put your back into it. Maximum effort
