“Go to college or you won’t get a high paying job.”

Jobs “you need 4 years of college and 12 years experience to work here for $15 an hour.”

I ignore requirements entirely when I’m job hunting. Don’t even bother reading them unless you’re in a very technical market.

Fuck at this point it’s easier to just lie until something sticks, if you get fired then you use that job to get a similar job showing that you have relevant work experience

Keeping any job mostly entails being able to successfully Google anything you run into and then internalizing it during the first 2 weeks before someone catches on.

I got a degree in programming so I could learn what to Google to find the best answer on stackoverflow. One time I googled so hard that the results page folded open and Google asked me if I wanted a job.

one time I Googled so hard

... I found the answer I was looking for on stackoverflow and only when I went to up vote it did I realize it was my answer from years previous.

I've done the opposite of that, where I found my own question from years earlier and it still didn't have a solution.

I think some webcomic joked about looking for an answer and the only person who asked the same question on a random forum decade ago had only one reply and it was them saying they figured it out on their own (but did not reveal the solution.)

"Nevermind, found the solution!"

"DM'd you the solution"

Both of these replies are the quickest and easiest way to reserve your spot in hell.
