i am only going to study cs because i need to get out - if i could live on my own without having to go to uni i would invest 2 years into learning for free online and then apply for jobs

@Xychotic yeah that is optimum

It is not as though they out right say that I need to get my ass out of the house quickly, but I can still tell from the hints that they give to me that they would much rather I be living somewhere else rather than with them while I am doing College.

No Joke, Security is a fun job for part time

or Loss Prevention in retail

I hate it, personally.

I did it for a little bit, it was nice

I did it for nine years.

yeah lol - if u cant get security work 10 hours a week as a waiter or smth - i worked as a kitchen porter until i got a job as a DBA

studeid infree time

People watching is fun...you learn how to read people which is good

People don't respect security. Management tends to treat you like an imbecile. And the average IQ is 97 and I'm almost 3 standard deviations above that. It's straight up oppressive to me.

if you can read people you can have better interactions and keep yourself safe

A lot of security folks did have lower IQ

@Xychotic 😲

Another book incoming

I really don't mind working as a slave, so long as I am doing it to get money.
Basically every job ever.

Nvm lol

working as a slave = not getting money

That's what happens when you work a job that pays less than maintenance.

McDonald's is actually a draining job, they pay you like $8

@Xychotic yeah but that's optimal - you want a job that is not mentally draining so when you come back you can study

Take up stoicism and minimalism as personal philosophies. And then write down details objectives and break them into small enough bits that you'll do them. And remember that they have to be things that you can do.

@JDB Optimal is when you can actually study while on the job.

Hence swing and night shift stationary security.

@Xychotic ofc - but he isn't going to be able to get a job like that until he studies enough for an entry role position

oh

i see

Man's Search for Meaning will help you think slightly different too

what u mean

i take that back

yeah as night security you can just go line the whole time

You don't really need to study for security. Just get a local guard card and say you can only want swing or night stationary.

yeah i didnt mean that - i forgot that while working as secutity you can just go on ur pc

Don't bother with patrol. That's shit.

It pays better, but you're not there to be paid, you're there to study and take foot patrol breaks.

Labor unions are pretty solid

the only time when school is maybe a good choice is if you are going to an elite school - where you are bascially guarenteed a high paying grad job

It's more nuanced than that.
