I could go from next year, it would take me 3 years to get me degree as my plan now is to be a English teacher in China/Thailand



Anyone got any experiences with teaching abroad?

That’s a rather convoluted, roundabout way of pulling white Gen Z femcels into K-Pop bro; you’re better off just booking a flight to EE where they’re more numerous anyway…

Why can’t you find a remote IT job or just do some freelancing work online for random clients?

I think codecuck jobs are difficult enough to find now that i'd be lucky to find any job lol, especially right out of college. That and my grades are shit because I don't have the brain for it and I also just don't care. The entire degree was torture.

Also I just want a social job where I talk to people. I don't want to be sitting at home.

Very strange that you want a social job as a sperg but I agree with you about programming being difficult and extremely frustrating too lol

It's precisely the reason why I want one, I need to unautism myself. Working remotely or with STEMspergs won't help me achieve that. I need to be out amongst people, especially women. I've spent too much of my life being a shy scared cuck hiding away.

I just don't feel like I can settle down in some boring job yet. I'm 24 in May and I already feel the agepill hitting so I gotta make the most of what's left of my youth making things right.

So you have no degree? Did you get any qualifications to teach English? Honestly that sounds great. I'd move to be an English teacher.

Guess try sales or something since those jobs are also some of the easiest to get on average…

So you’re actually white then?
Being a broke English teacher in Asia is only pussy paradise if you can run that JBW game, you know…

Yes i am white, anglo saxon to be exact pure british breeded.
 
Yes, it is almost definitely worth it. One choice would be to get a degree in Education which would massively boost your future earning potential in teaching. If you do a teaching certificate while in school, the degree-cert combo will allow you to jump into international schools immediately. England has the best TEFL/ESL programs in the world and you can definitely do an Education degree with a concentration on teaching English abroad.

The other option would be to get a generally lucrative degree such as in Finance or Computer Science. As you say, the IT world is getting insanely competitive and I would not recommend the IT/CS path unless you are seriously interested in computers. Finance or Econ will be ez mode and unlock many doors for you.

Idk what the cost of going to university is in the UK but if it's affordable for you, then you should do it.

Follow one path and you're 27 with a degree, follow the other path and you're 27 without a degree.

In the U.S. it is common for soldiers to start their undergrad education at age 22. In some countries like Finland, military service is compulsory and most men don't start until age 20. Point is, there is no "correct age" to begin your education.

Should probably avoid all mathematics-based majors, including CS. Finance will likely be okay, at worst it is number crunching and algebra. Economics is an easier alternative to Finance, a popular choice among stupid normies. Just don't be tempted to get too far into "meme degree" territory with shit like Sociology or Philosophy or anything else unmarketable.

You are unlikely to be accepted to a school that is above your ability, but if you're worried about it, you can test yourself using something like the SAT (https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests) and look at schools where the average SAT score is below your result. Of course, the SAT is an American test and the UK may have a different equivalent.

Success in university is mostly based on being able to consistently do small amounts of work without burning out, getting lazy, or partying too much. In all likelihood you won't find it too demanding.

Do u use discord?
 
4 years in university just for a high T jock like me to lie about having a degree on my cv and get a job that pays more than ur 50 year old degreemaxxed dad which let's me geomax anywhere
 
After trying to make money online I would say it’s not worth it. It’s taken a little over a year to get to $3k a month for me. Uni / college takes 3 years and you will be $30k in debt by the end of it.

3 years is easily enough to make a living wage online. Also the job market is so crazy right now that the risk level is hardly different.

And another thing is that if you’re a manlet it’s harder to get a job / get promoted (statistics say this) and nobody can tell your height on a zoom call ;)
 
Will your degree lead to a job you want? Then yes, its worth it.

Teacher, Lawyer, Doctor, Engineer, Pilot etc. all fields where you need the diploma and license to work.

Make sure its career you want and then get the cheapest degree that will get you there.

Getting into a gatekept field provides some stability. Making money online isn't that easy. I've seen people spend years trying to build some marketing thing or social media channel with nothing to show for it. Lots of respect for those that pull it off, but its a gamble.

That's a valid path. I know people do jobs like electrician, welder, etc. and make good money.
Get a roommate, cook your own food, work double shifts and save all your money for half the year.
Then spend 6 months out in Asia enjoying life.

David Gordon is a Canadian who does that. Works as a driver for half the year then enjoys life on his trips.

Growing old in Thailand

Yeah trades are a dead end for geomaxxing, you're not going to compete with local blue collar workers. Not sure what you mean by the degrees though.

Some people can tolerate life in the West a bit, so 6 months truck driving or plumbing then living 6 months abroad is fine for them.
Or they don't like teaching/tech. Are there any realistic options besides those 2 for geomaxxing degrees?

I guess some sort of international finance/law but not sure on that?

Not all degrees, just most of them aren’t suited for geomaxxing

6 months on / off would be great but I imagine one day you will want to settle somewhere.
There’s all sorts of online business models, some riskier than others. You don’t nessessarily need to get a degree.

Of course this all depends on your risk tolerance / how much your desire to geomax / how much you can stand life in the West. There’s nothing wrong with a normal and boring life in the West. I have a few friends who are happy with it
 
Its worth it regardless uni is eaziest setup to get girls and secure geomaxxable career by the end of it . I geomaxxed for a year in taiwan studying abroad and will b graduating before im 21 ready to geomax permanently. i got remote job offer but will do tefl for a year or so.

And if your from uk you dont even get into debt its essentially just a tax that will get wiped before u pay it.
