Thread 60782344

Clearly crypto didn't work out for me (got giga rekt by shitcoins beyond repair and bull cycle is about to end) and my CS degree turned out to be a profound disappointment - ultra shit job market with zero light at the end of the tunnel (thank you AI and out of touch management/c-suite).

What are my other options at this point? Marry rich? Any way to game the system with VA benefits? I could give entrepreneurship another go but I've already failed a few times thanks to covid-caused oversaturation of just about every niche out there. I'm really at a loss here and need legit advice (and no I won't listen to the 401k meme advice and wait until extremely old age to enjoy any of it). I'm 33 if that helps.

p.s.: if the marry rich or va strategy actually works, any tips on going about it? or do you have another strategy that isn't told (that doesn't involve crime of course)

how much did yuo losE? and how?

Oh and I forgot to mention I have zero military experience/not in the military and I know age 33 is too late to enlist in certain segments. Any branches that have near 0% chance of deployment? Those VA benefits/free college education benefits are quite tempting ngl.

Buy-in $100k, lost about $60k (with at least $10k of that to life expenses). I'm also an unemployed neet which makes things much harder on me with the brutal job market. Because of my dire situation I'm about 70% in stables atm and can't risk too much, can't stand the thought of losing my life savings without a solid income.

The odds of marrying rich are probably ZERO, so forget that.

33 is too old to be a military recruit. There are 17year olds who join and come out in their 20s with bad backs and life long health issues. You might aswell stick with the boomer 401k option unless you're willing to be immobile by 60 with the VA route.

I highly suggest you just start doing the "safe" options and stop trying to get rich quick. Maybe fluff your resume and fake your way into a better job?

I could fake into another job but that's another skill I'm not good at. Any resources online that could help with charismatic resume building and interview charm? Doesn't help that I'm a sperg either.

>>60782344 (OP)
You got rekt trading and therefore believe you can accurately gauge bull run timeframes?

Just join the Army. Head to a recruiting station tomorrow. 33 isn't too old. You can be a mechanic, supply, etc. You'll be among friends in a sea of retards.

Unironically use AI. Have it make a fluffed resume with real places & jobs. Completely re-type the resume so no ai detection, use numbers that are dead numbers, and references to emails that aren't real/you control. This is on the off chance anyone actually checks your resume. 99% of employers never check. Most never even verify your degree is even real.

>and interview charm? Doesn't help that I'm a sperg either
I skipped this part, for this also do AI and/or apply for similar jobs in different states or far away, hope they do zoom interviews. long distance job interviews you have no intention of actually taking, all for practice on the real interviews.

AI practice runs are just
>Hey robot, pretend you are a interviewer for [company] and you're interviewing me for [job] position, make this a very realistic interview, with your most honest answer on if i got the job at the end. Be brutally honest, don't hold back, let me know how good or bad this interview went.

You got a cs degree, turn to digital crime. Strike back at the system that spurned you

OP, go to recruiter asap. Age 35 is cutoff. Here's your method to escape the rat race: Graduate basic > graduate tech school > have emotional breakdown > go to many medical appts > get discharged > apply for 100% vet disability > free $4k for life with no income limits. Not doing this was by far the worst mistake of my entire life. I had no clue how easy it was to attain lifelong financial freedom. If you bank the $4k you'll have a million in the bank in 21 years.

Suck your own dick.

ngl I got tired halfway through
Honestly, I don't try as hard as I used to, I stopped looking at charts, and even though my bongo is still paying off my debts, I feel like I have no power over anything anymore
