you aren't alone, like a massive retard I lost most of my savings in coins, now I unironically have less than 6 figures of net wealth and I am turning 30 in 5 months

You must have really fucked up your college to not be able to get any kind of decent job anywhere with an engineering degree.

Engineering isn’t a meme degree, unless you did something stupid like civil or chemical engineering. Most engineers I know have really good paying jobs, some of them left engineering to become consultants and make even more money. You are just stupid and/or lazy, most people think once they land a job they can just sit back and relax and waste their 20s. You should be hustling, develop yourself, start a business, become an expert within your field. Once you achieve this you will no longer stress about your job as you will be valuable, companies will come to you instead of you applying for jobs.

>unless you did something stupid like civil or chemical engineering. Bro, your mortage is what pays my 150k salary and I just design residential areas. Civil is one of the best careers if you know how to fucking read the residential codes and do basic math, of course the first years are shit but it takes off inmensely once you know shit.
Probably the worst country to be a civil. Natives, environmentalists and liberals put up roadblocks to every resource project that could generate jobs and wealth for my field.
In my defense, when I was 18, things were different, the oil industry was exploding in canada and civil engineering was actually a good degree. I was just too young and dumb to see how the political landscape was changing in this country. No joke to do anything we need to get the blessing of our native overlords. to cut down a single tree we need to do a 5000 dollar bird survey

> something stupid like civil Civil Engineering in US is like the only field in Engineering that is still growing in terms of jobs.
