Decent as in money or decent as in prospects? White collar administrative government work/legislative policy is absolutely booming, i have never made more money and I am in a union. your local state government has excel moneys, go be one

Software engineers still consistently earn $500k+ TC, and that's with all the recent FUD about layoffs/AI/H1B/etc. If the job market was actually bad they wouldn't be earning so much money.

Brah only google L6 and meta E6 and equivalent fang companies clear 500k and those are not easy to get and keep. Google l6 CAN be chill depending on team but it’s hard AF to get promoted internally or hired on as. Realistically most average fang employees top out at L5 which as a 350-450 pay band depending on RSUs. Senior eng at mid/shit tier companies like Salesforce and Cisco typically max out at 250-350k because a lot of them don’t issue refresher stock. Don’t get me started on non public startups

really does seem like there aren't real careers anymore. just some shit you do for 2-8 years until it gets automated away or replaced by immigrants.

thats for top 0.1% you basically have to start coding when you are kid if you want to be at the top. midwit coders are struggling the most

I do admin shit in a hospital (Canada, so gov work) and while I don't make a lot of money (60k/yr), I work maybe 45 minutes per day. When I do evening shifts (it's a 24/7 job), I am paid 30 an hour and I literally watch movies or play minecraft on my laptop.
My work could 100% be done by a computer but unions are hospital admins know nothing and are retarded so I doubt it will happen anyways.

some are dangerous, some are hard on money, but all the ones that require skill or knowledge pay well enough to live off

Sales & marketing chads will never be replaced by smelly little indian men. You're not buying a car off Ranjeesh are you? You're buying off Dick Johnson though.

I studied medicine for years only to end up at a fucking mcdonald's
No career is worth it in the long run, I'm more likely to make it with my kokok than to get a job related to what I studied
