Don't live in fantasy land, most PrepHole jobs are shitty and underpaid, I wouldn't bother.
GIS and geolocation jobs are actually pretty well paid and he can get a masters in GIS in about a year from any reputable university.
get your CDL
Have fun making $50000/y and living in what is basically a McDonald's parking lot. Hope that one time the highway patrol pulls you over it doesn't end your career.
It's never a good sign when you see them in your mirror literally pitching a tent as they walk up.
>masters in about a year
Worthless degree then.
No.
GIS is pretty much dead.
Anybody can just make a google docs map.
Anything that pays and requires real GIS skills will also require you to be a software engineer, which you could be doing for more money
>shitty and underpaid
not everyone values the things you value.
It would be hard to value something you've never done anon
Yeah, I don't value food or housing either.
Learn to code anon
Get comfy wfh gig
Live rural
Then you’d have plenty of time for outside fun
>t. Econ degree holder who lives in a forest and works a shitty code monkey job
>still pays more than just about PrepHole profession
How did you learn to code?
College course?
i went to barnes and noble and bought a couple books on PHP/MySql (this was 2008 or so). Then read/studied made a few projects at home for practice/experience.
At the time i was working in tech support, was able to make my way into a jr level QA/tester at my company. Continued studying and was able to get another entry level gig as a jr. developer.
The first dev job is always the hardest to get.
>useless BA in Economics
Why do you hate money
Worked in a bank hated it
hehe yeah I am stupid
what else would you suggest then?
>what else would you suggest then?
Nearly all sufficiently remunerative outdoor careers are tied to the purse strings of major corporations, and each and virtually all of them involve developing land, building infrastructure, and stripping resources from the Earth. Basically, you can choose any two of these:
>good money
>work outdoors
>clear conscience
We really oughta have something in the sticky for PrepHole jobs. At the very least the "pick two out of three" compromise that eventually gets mentioned like in
>Money means nothing when you’re out
Everyone says this until eventually life blindsides them and they realize they don't make enough. I've had several PrepHole jobs and more often than not the people I worked with were looking for an exit plan. The ones who weren't were getting their financial stability primarily from somewhere else.
BA in economics would be good for generic crap like sales or manufacturing operations.
yeah I just want a job that can take me PrepHole sometimes
I have a BA in Econ. My advice is to keep your hobbies and work separate. You can make good money as an analyst (I’m currently making about $200k (130k cash +10k bonus + 60k options) with your degree. As others have said in this thread, outdoor work is hard on your body (don’t wanna be working that hard when you’re older) and pays badly.
When I was a consultant I was able to take lots of time off. My management didn’t really care because I planned it to be between clients. I did lots of neat longer term trips and traveling.
Now I’m a full time employee and have responsibilities (longer term work projects and a mortgage and family) so I don’t take sabbaticals anymore, but might once my current work project ends.
Money means nothing when you’re out, sorry mate but your advice is shit. If you smell the out as much as I did, working in an office severely depresses you. Nah, just work with your body and fuel it right. Hard work isnt the death of you, its the life you always dream about when you are cucking for some Black person homosexual IT job
Different strokes for different folks. All I’m saying is It’s hard to do hard, rigorous outdoor skills when you’re old, like logging, surveying, construction etc. nice to have office skills so if your body gives out you’re not skillless.
Also, having money in the bank gives you freedom. I’ll probably be able to retire when I’m 50 or 55 (live off interest/dividends and not need to touch principal) so I can do all sorts of adventures then (close-to-home adventures til my kids are out of school). I’ve been able to do several big monthlong or multi month trips (like thruhiking, big trips in Europe. etc) with the flexibility of my career.
how do you get started as an analyst other than knowing someone?
(Op here)
Main hard skills are probably excel, sql, and a bi tool (power bi, tableau, or looker)
You should also learn some basic domain areas- like a functional area in a company (marketing or finance or hr etc)
So learn some skills, make a portfolio, apply to junior analyst roles.
Lots of kinds of analysts are specialists in domains, ie a finance analyst needs to know more finance stuff. Data analysts tend to know lots of technical data stuff like relational modeling and be conversant in data science concepts. Business analysts do cost benefit analysis on business topics. Lmk if you have more questions
cheers bro, great info. What is your average week like?
>wants an PrepHole job
>posts pic of an PrepHole job that involves surveying the outdoors so that it can be developed and turned into indoors
It's not only your degrees that are useless, anon.
Land Surveyor here. AMA.
What is a normal week like for you?
Shift work?
How many days a week are you away from home? (if any)
Living in hotels. Working 12 hour days, 6 days a week. No shifts, you work when there's work and you're home when you're home. No resemblance of a "schedule" at all. I worked roughly 230 days last year. Gone anywhere from 1-5 weeks at a time and home anywhere from 2 days - a month.
What do you do exactly?
How’s the pay?
Find things and make a map of it. Pound sticks in the ground. Depends on the day.
Assistants start (no school needed) at around $21 an hour.
HOW DO YOU BECOME A SURVEYOR? I LITERALLY SEE GED HOLDERS GET JOBS I GO HOW THE FRICK DO YOU GET INTO THAT?
I'M AN ACCOUNTANT WHICH MANY PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS OF BUT, ITS EXPLICITLY LITTLE SIMPLE TO GET INTO WHICH IS THE TYPE OF THINGS I NEED. DO THIS GET THIS IS HOW MY BRAIN WORKS.
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A FORENSIC AUTOPSY TECH. HE THINKS HIS JOB SUCKS AND GETS PAID 1/2 AN ACCOUNTANT DOES, BUT I POINT OUT I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO BECOME WHAT HE IS.
I RUN INTO THIS SO MUCH. I JUST WANTED TO DRIVE BIG TRUCKS LIKE EXCAVATORS. NO CONCEPT ON HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WHILE ACCOUNTING WAS GET THIS DEGREE, TAKE THIS STATE TEST, HERE IS A LONG LIST OF FIRMS THAT HIRE EVERY SEASON. MORE OF LIFE NEED TO BE EXPLICIT LIKE THAT SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING AND ARENT WASTING THEIR TIME.
>>OP PIC FOR EXAMPLE, THAT BLURB COULDN'T BE MORE VAGUE. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I WOULD BE DOING, STUDYING, OR WHO IS HIRING ME, AND HOW MANY JOBS THERE ARE FOR IT.
Phone a survey company and ask if they are looking for assistants. Simple as that.
I work with people who never graduated high school or completed GED and are excellent surveyors. No qualifications needed. Get tough or die
>Land Surveyor
how did you become one and what are the requirements?
It's an over saturated career field. Don't do it.
I'm a geologist, field work sucks, for sure wouldn't want to be a surveyor on the side of the road all day
if america, the one non-stem degree that federal parks/forest jobs looks for is history, for all the cultural/historical interp at sites and parks. its a way to get into parks work and then move towards the specific work you want to do. i got a degree in history and now i work as a forest janny
interesting, how do you like it?
No, you can do this with m other non-STEM degrees too. The standard to be a forest janny is non-existent.
I was an ATV guide in New Zealand, a ski instructor in the winter there too. The money is shit but it’s nice. Why not become a pine logger there in NZ. They fly in with a choppa, chop shit up then fly home erry day. I knew a Maori who lived in a big ass yellow bus in Methven and grew weed someplace out there and it was based for him. Think he died tho so rip.
Also they do heli deer hunts and rope the c**ts under the chopper and bring em out. Alaska surely has jobs like that. Become an aircraft refueled and slowly gain hours becoming a pilot. Fricked if I know, im 35 and if I was young again id just send it and live in a shit shack like I did and love my life all over again.
I'm an animal for work. Have to do a lot of searching for one that pays well but it's outdoors and not too physically demanding other than the miles.
I'm a software developer and work remotely. Next summer I'll hopefully be living in a van and touring the country.
lol
sure
It's true. I work as a full stack developer for a pharmaceutical company. 100% remote and I make 85k. I've only been working since October (graduated college in May) and the purpose of waiting is to save money to buy and build out a sprinter van. I'd take out a loan but I've been advised against it. I'm dead set on doing van life full time because I really have nothing else going for me being an incel.
i'm gonna slash your tires and sugar your tank driving through the northern rockies, cheers!
Anon, he's an incel. Let him travel around the US and enjoy nature for a few months before he inevitably pastes his brains all over the patched wall of his barren apartment. It's all he has.
That's mean 🙁
Thank you for understanding
Anyone done the IFMGA for a mountain guide job? I'm in Canada, and I think that would be a sick job bro.
Any insight?
I just finished applying to a pretty dream PrepHole job, my town needs a animal control/bylaw person, basically the job would be to patrol around the town, deal with animals, and talk to homeless people. Wish me luck anons I'm pretty qualified but you never know.
lol i remember this being shilled here 5 years ago, for jobs in canada
wtf
The archive is gone. Shill posts will repeat themselves indefinitely because there is no way to call them out anymore.
