>Welders

At least these two jobs have their fans whom I personally know, there is no need to discredit them
The difference is those are boring, coding is inherently fun

You must be 18 years or older to post here
You must be a human hailing from planet earth to post here. lmao

>staring at a screen typing ascii into a text file for the next 40 years of your life is fun
HAHAHAHA! WHAT THE FRICK
I too can reduce something so much it can sound boring as hell
Many people weld their hobby projects, anon
those jobs weren't flooded by money-chasing idiots who barely cared about what they were doing
Every decently paid profession is flooded by money chasing idiots.
but at least medicine and law 1) are filtered because they're much harder to get into and 2) actually provided value for society and connection to the people you help so it's easier to be at least a bit "passionate" about that. corporate programming feels like a bullshit job, nothing you do actually matters, only the money does
>law
>actually provided value for society
lol, lmao even
They only ask about the stuff you do in your spare time in entry level interviews since they need to find ways to differentiate between fresh graduates/students who all have little to no job experience.
t. 5 yoe in software dev, haven't been asked about my Github in years
People definitely get into welding because it pays better than other comparable trade jobs.
Shit I get that having no experience makes it hard to know whether I'm worth hiring but it makes me sick that I have to verbally convince them like a monkey doing tricks
Does it get better if I just do short jobs at Upwork to get experience? I live in a cheap area tbh

Anything that allows you to say "I've done X with technologies Y and Z" with confidence is beneficial in your CV/during job interviews.
They said learn to code. So a lot of people did. How is that the person’s fault?
Half of all welders are people who think they're gonna get rich doing it. They'll work in the oil field and be a diving welder. Everything else is just a step on that road. Don't worry you're gonna make it soon.
whats the deal with the underwater welding meme? ive heard it so many times. is it even something reasonable for people to aspire to?
It's an utter shit job that no one wants to do or is certified to do. So they get paid by the metric tonne
what is shitty about it? are the certs hard? not a welder or planning to be just curious since ive heard people say they were going to do it so many times
ive heard about this multiple times before the poltard trade advice boom
>what is shitty about it?
Idk I was just spouting bullshit mostly. It does look an uncomfortable job though. Shit that needs welding underwater is usually all the way down the ocean floors.
>what is shitty about it?
Most "underwater" welding is barely underwater and its on shitty locations out at places with lots of waves. So you're basically in scuba gear getting constantly hit with water just above the point where you risk proper damage from the temperature, trying to weld some beam to a post. You do that for 12 hours a day every day for a month. You will regret ever becoming a welder, you will become an alcoholic and you will contemplate suicide non-stop after the first day.
Oh and if your actually underwater, you've got a job that the delta p video is made for. Your job is not ending up becoming the crab.
/misc/ decided that the west has fallen and everyone needs to move into the woods and learn to weld, I wouldn't read too much into it.
No. Absolutely not. My father was a welder, and eventually he got laid of and couldn't find work that paid enough to support the family. 30 years of experience. He had to switch careers. Welding just isn't like it used to be apparently.
Pays extremely well, although you can only do it for a limited number of years for health reasons.
hr roles are definitely the most guilty of that lmao
Have you ever met a welder? You would know if you did because they usually never shut up about it.
I love reading datasheets. They get me hard
I don't do it in my free time, but it's such a nice job type to have because you get so much independent time in my experience. The data people at companies are also most likely to be allowed to WFH it seems.
kek I applied to a mail carrier job 12 years ago and the interviewer asked me about how passionate I was for the job and company vision
I'm not passionate about coding, it's my job and I'm passionate about getting the frick off once my shift is over and enjoying what little free time I have left
print("I wan to kill myself")
You wide area network to have a nice day what?
The problem here is that coding is a field where if you aren't truly interested in the craft, you won't be good. Ever. (I don't care how much you make by coasting by due to inflated demand, that's transient and has nothing to do with the craft.)
Proles and animals are free.
it's all part of inducing psychic trauma on you to make you conform.
they anchor you on passion. this will very quickly be violated, and you will be confused.
A lot of programmers are passionate about our field, and started out as hobbyists. We don't want to work with people who don't enjoy programming as a hobby, and who don't try to learn more about it in their free time. You're stupid people only interested in the field because it pays highly, and you produce bad code. You could have chosen any other highly paying field, but you had to choose this one. Frick off, we're full.
This bro. It's a fricking JOB, not a fricking lifestyle and personality. Just look at the morons in >
