NORMALIZE DOING LOUD WORK OUTSIDE AT NIGHT
I'M TIRED OF ONLY BEING ALLOWED TO DO HOT LOUD OUTDOOR WORK DURING THE DAY WHEN IT'S A BAJILLION DEGREES OUTSIDE
NORMALIZE NOCTURNAL SLEEP SCHEDULES
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS IN EQUATORIAL REGIONS ALREADY WORK AT NIGHT, NORMALIZE THIS IN SUB-EQUATORIAL REGIONS, AND WITH "RURAL" WORK LIKE TREE WORK

>hurr durr you need to see


GIVE EVERY WORKER NIGHT VISION GOGGLES AND BIG ASS LAMPS

AS CLIMATE CHANGE GETS WORSE AIN'T NOBODY WANNA BE AWAKE DURING THE FUCKIN DAY ANYWAY

isn't vital infrastructure work done during night

normalize three am angle grinders!



 

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.

I've seen things like The Wizard Book, Rust, LISP, R-something (used a lot in science?), Python (apparently old now and there's something newer Paul Cockshott uses?)…

I just want to be able to bash things together to prove points on the fly.

But I did Arts as a degree and theatre through school so I'm cooked ;_;

This would make me p. sad if it was true.

>I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.
Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.

The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

>>647
Just learn Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

Too debilitated by PTSD to finish my law degree at a good university. Interned in prestige media and got no contacts from it because it was essentially a 12 week paper pusher treadmill. Feel hopeless. I love writing and literature so I want to wage enough to support that. But I have generally no support network so I’m just rawdogging nepo faggotry and I am exhausted and despondent. Any suggestions on what to do.

the ptsd should be your priority mate, then finish the degree if possible. open a gofundme if you have to mooch for meds, i guess

>law degree
Bud, it’s a degree mill profession.

Are master's programs really just cash cows like everyone keeps telling me?

Tldr all the arguments I hear against doing one:
>costs too much
>easier admissions process
>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

historically entry-level jobs didn't require BAs, either. The bar has gotten higher.

>>351
Yes, originally the logic of postgraduate education was for teaching and working in the university system itself but as university education became more accessible to the masses relatively speaking employers use postgrad degrees to lazily filter out candidates.

i got a comp sci job by

  1. joining an engineering startup when i was 19 and they were desperate for keyboard monkeys
  2. staying there and never getting a new job
  3. getting random promotions based on seniority
  4. attending the stupid corporate parties and being friendly
  5. eventually they automated my job but just put me on dev team even though I didn't have a degree because I convinced them I could do anything if they gave me a few months to teach myself

i was EXTREMELY lucky and I am very glad I never went into debt for the college meme. college is pure usury these days. people are paying off their loans well into their 50s these days. my own parents did that. instead I get guaranteed annual interest on my savings through CDs and bonds (fuck stocks and crypto, they're volatile).

>>375
See I did one in statistics. I think I'm stuck in the same hell you are. While data science isn't always statistics, perhaps you could pivot into biostats? I'm studying survival analysis on my own but I have not prior working experience to really talk about. I think I'm cooked.

>>1840
Also forgot to add that I really only wanted time and brain power. I did the MS for free.

Morning, Leftypol.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Been around since the 8chan days.

I was recently elected the president of my Union local, representing about 150 workers. Most of whom are fairly lib and older (50+), though there's a contingent young folks who make up the executive and are like 30% based.

Any recommendations for radicalizing the base and subtly introducing Marxist practices into our pretty dull union? We are a component of a much larger national union, so my influence is fairly limited. Currently, I'm working on mutual aid networks and am networking with a local workers council to make connections with like-minded unions/union folks.

>blue collar
pays like shit, leaves you exhausted, will kill you
>retail and customer-facing
pays like shit, you basically endure abuse or idiocy for eight hours a day
>pink collar and healthcare
can pay very well but the hours are insane and you also have to endure abuse constantly
>white collar work
best-case scenario, pays well, but you're still sitting through 4-hour meetings of nothing but bullshit and wasting your life away in front of a computer
i know i'm missing something because i don't understand how wagies aren't constantly miserable 90% of the time.
yes, sometimes you get a job you just inherently vibe with, or you get to work on something you're actually proud of, like you save someone's life or you help in the construction of a nice useful building
but all of that is rare. the rest of the wagies, do they just dissociate and swallow it down? is it just genuinely not that bad from their point of view?

>people aren't killing themselves en masse
the surplus labor force has done exactly that, because they are so alienated they can't even function as exploited wage slaves:
<The Opioid/Overdose Crisis as a Dialectics of Pain, Despair, and One-Sided Class War Struggle
<The opioid/overdose crisis in the United States and Canada has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and has become a major field for research and interventions. It has embroiled pharmaceutical companies in lawsuits and possible bankruptcy filings. Effective interventions and policies toward this and future drug-related outbreaks may be improved by understanding the sociostructural roots of this outbreak. Much of the literature on roots of the opioid/overdose outbreak focuses on (1) the actions of pharmaceutical companies in inappropriately promoting the use of prescription opioids; (2) “deaths of despair” based on the deindustrialization of much of rural and urban Canada and the United States, and on the related marginalization and demoralization of those facing lifetimes of joblessness or precarious employment in poorly paid, often dangerous work; and (3) increase in occupationally-induced pain and injuries in the population. All three of these roots of the crisis—pharmaceutical misconduct and unethical marketing practices, despair based on deindustrialization and increased occupational pain—can be traced back, in part, to what has been called the “one-sided class war” that became prominent in the 1970s, became institutionalized as neo-liberalism in and since the 1980s, and may now be beginning to be challenged. We describe this one-sided class war, and how processes it sparked enabled pharmaceutical corporations in their misconduct, nurtured individualistic ideologies that fed into despair and drug use, weakened institutions that created social support in communities, and reduced barriers against injuries and other occupational pain at workplaces by reducing unionization, weakening surviving unions, and weakening the enforcement of rules about workplace safety and health.

Recruiting is literally the biggest joke of all time. Genuinely when I attend recruiting events its like the most suffocating, artificial vibe i've ever seen in my life. Everyone, from the students, to the recruiters, to the professionals are faking everything. "Networking" is essentially just sucking up to whatever recruiter, manager, or employee you can find and bothering them with nothing burger emails. Recruiters probably get literally thousands of emails from students who all think they're special. Networking job fairs are filled to the brim with a bunch of sweaty peeople in suits trying to prostrate themselves the best for some dumb internship. Linkedin is just a cesspool of the most performative and fake characters of all time, In fact i'd say a good plurlity of all posts and job listings on linkedin are AI generated and fake. I genuinely can't wait until AI destroys white collar america and all the former Excel desk jockeys can be part of the revolutionary vanguard.
