Serious Some vital advice to the youngsters here

[Fontaine]

By youngsters I mean those who are still in high school or who are beginning college.

Don't believe the lies that life is always beautiful, that life is fair, that people are equal, or that you can find happiness even in the most dire situation.

The reality is that life is a darwinistic hell where power, status, money, beauty, youth and health are all extremely important and everything functions in virtuous or vicious circles. Ever wondered why normies are all obsessed with politics or wealth redistribution? Because they tend to lack power and status. Their life sucks as a result and they're very envious of all those who have this power and status (like the famous 1%).

If you lack money and status, you'll be forced to work a bad job where you can't self-actualize. That sounds bearable in theory but in practice it's hell to spend most of your life getting yelled at by an asshole boss in an absurd job. You'll develop unhappiness as a result and then probably depression or substance abuse, which will ruin your social life in turn, then your health, then your opportunities to change jobs... Life is basically constant tidal flows where you're either brought by your feet to the bottom of the ocean or climbing above everyone else.

That's why if you don't study as hard as you can now, and don't try to get an easy, high-paying, high-status job now that it's still possible for you, you'll regret it extremely bitterly in fifteen years. I'd suggest every youngster here to aim at medical school in particular. Becoming a doctor is the surest way to a life that doesn't suck. If you know me, you'll know that I always have extremely good reasons for writing what I write.

What else are you u supposed to do though? Alot of people go to college, even in Finance, engineering end up getting a 80K or 90K job maybe more, its still stressful however and like u said end up getting yelled at. Not everyone can be doctors because the positions in medical school are extremely limited.

Doesn't matter because medicine is self-actualizing (for many reasons, but mostly because it's very ego-flattering to make people heal and be a "savior"). That means you're happy to work. Jobs with self-actualization are extremely rare. Doctor is the only one that pays enormous money.

 

[Moustachcel]

high iq I knew that the world is shit for me since like I was 14

 

[Fontaine]

Apparently doctors have a high suicide rate because of how intense and miserable the work can be

No, it's mostly because this profession attracts high IQ, neurotic people.

Medicine is actually the easiest job once you're out of med school and residency (where training is indeed grueling). When you go see your dermatologist, does he really seam unhappy and overworked? As a doctor you set your own hours and vacation, you don't have a boss, you meet people, you're a savior, you easily get away with mistakes... Most jobs are horrible compared to this.

Beware of "medicine sucks" discourses you read on the internet: they emanate mostly from med school rejects with sour grapes.

 

[a1mless]

Medicine is easier then some of the pure maths related jobs but again its hard to get into medical school.

 

[Curious0]

Going to medical school was my goal. Actually it still is.
Nobody in my family believes in me. They are all convinced that I am too dumb.
I'll still try my best to get into medical school.
It would change my life so much.
In 7 years I'll either work a high status job that I absolutely love or I'll be a working a low paying 9-5 job that I don't like.

i think medicine is unrealistic for most people, i think it requires high gpa and the program itself is like 10 years + 5 years specialization. plus its like 300k in tuition.
but if your'e a studycel, most certainly go for medicine.

back to your point fontaine, i think that most people can't live frugally, the frugal meme only fits a very small part of the population.
me for example, i don't mind living like a hopi indian in some 1 bedroom apartment. because im a very practical person.
do what you gotta do, and yes - status matters' especially in the long run.

In my country, France, competition to become a doctor is so high that there is a now a mid-year exam focusing purely on math, physics and chemistry.

Med school is pure misery, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I hope I'll at least have enough money to live like a normal human being.

 

[Mainländer]

Seconded. I was 100% wrong when I said working in blue-collar professions was something good because there are only men and whatnot, some months ago here.

I'm actually thinking about trying to get into law school once back in Brazil. I'll do a crash course with a friend who'll also make the tests this year and if my ratings are good enough I'll go for it.

There are basically three types of jobs in life:

1) jobs that sound like a dream and are the dream jobs of most people, but are brutally hard to really make it to them (requires tons of talent, looks, contacts, luck, etc); famous musician, famous professional player, model, videogame composer, etc.

2) jobs that objectively suck but absolutely need to be done. Here's where you'll land if you don't try at all or lose time pursuing jobs of the first type; blue-collar in general and low-tier customer service in general (waiter, telefone operator, etc).

3) jobs that are good AND required to a good extent. You'll have to study a lot and compete like crazy but they're far more achievable than the jobs from type 1 because there's actually a good demand for them; doctor, judge, engineer, etc.

Cope. That only happens during residency, which is only 20% of a doctor's career.

Med students always say that, yet for some reason they don't leave medical school. It has a name: hypocrisy. It's like beautiful women who complain about receiving too much harassment and attention to their psychiatrist, and yet never make themselves uglier through makeup or mutilation.

Students in high status, self-actualizing career tracks always feel the compulsion to tell others that their choice of studies suck. Maybe to diminish jealousy toward them.

people here really think that living in a big city and having a bigass car is free when you make 200k

Good summary. Most people fail to get either into 1 or 3, hence the continuing popularity of "jealousy politics" (socialism, Bernie Sanders, etc), alcohol, television, religion and suicide.

Where I live being a doctor is being a god, some get away with not showing up at work on certain days and when they do they work 6 hour days. I should've put in effort and gone into med school.

The same in France. The biggest gods are psychiatrists, they're paid 120€/hour to sit on a comfortable leather chair, have a dinner conversation, randomly prescribe a SSRI and pretend to be competent. Sometimes they don't even pretend (I saw two psychiatrists who admitted they don't really know what they're doing when prescribing drugs, and one psychiatrist who admitted his profession was largely organized fraud).

 

[rightwing-ethnicel]

IT is also a good option since the demand gets higher and higher in future, there isnt even enough supply today, so the salary will get higher.

Psychology is still in most cases a pseudo science, most of them are psychic-tier people with diplomas but you can't really argue that shrinks and drugs never help, they do. As a teen I wanted to be a psychologist because I wanted to help others, because I know what it's like to be alone and depressed but now I don't think I really care about helping anyone, I just want out of this life. The ones who get into it for money are assholes but I still kinda envy them.

My advice to youngsters here is to take everything with a grain Of salt

I also have advice for the youngsters.

Being a virgin as a teenager does not mean you are an incel. You may want to have sex, and look with envy at your peers who have girlfriends. But you live in a sex obsessed culture that convinces people if they haven’t fucked three strangers by the end of every bus ride they are somehow sexual failures.

It is natural for young people to have deep insecurities about their attractiveness and how “good” they will be at sex. The culture here may be attractive in explaining why you feel so insecure. Don’t swallow it without thinking.
It’s like swearing. It may seem cool, but if you do it enough eventually you will swear in situations it is not appropriate. At work, in from of your teachers or parents. Then you will be socially punished for it.

If you forget and refer to a woman as a foid in the real world, you are going to have a lot of explaining to do. The black pill will change the way you see women - and more importantly yourself. Once you take it, it’s almost impossible to go back.

If it were up to me I would not accept teenagers on this site. It’s not over for you. It has barely begun.

Alot of people go to college, even in Finance, engineering end up getting a 80K or 90K job.

Depending on where you live, you could live very comfortably.

I lost a lot of respect for some of the mods when they banned this guy, it was clearly personal for one of them, not naming names because I will probably be banned.

Fontaine elevated the thought in this place pretty much single handedly, he was such a boon for the outside world’s interpretation of this place. Absolute pettiness and idiocy that he was banned, the forum has never recovered imo.
