I'm 30 years old and no career
I should have never gone to college.. I could have learned some real skills instead. My cousin is an electrician now because he wasn't the studious type.

I have 233,000 USD in the bank but the dollar loses value everyday. 233,000 is pretty good right? Not really without good income.

I'm in Vietnam right now working for a startup company but it bores me and I don't see any future. I can save 1,000 USD a month here but wouldn't want to stay long term.

Also Saigon is a shithole.. the air quality and traffic are insane and terrible.

I met a nice girl.. she's great and although it's early maybe I should marry her. But I wonder how can I marry and raise a family with such low prospects for earning a decent living?

I have a really small family and if I did return I would start fresh in another state where I don't know anyone.

Anybody have any advice? What's a good safe business to invest in for income?

Re: I'm 30 years old and no career
It sounds like you tend to focus on the negative rather that the positive OP?

So, start evaluating all the good in your life RIGHT NOW...in the PRESENT...surely there always worse things, worse situations and worse people to be associated with...remember that and be thankful to just be you and to have gotten this far friend.

Time now to look within and find your answers..it may or may not be about money, location, career or people, but simply experience. ;-)

Pick a company owned by the Rothschilds or Rockefellers and go work for them.

When they finish off my business, I'll be off to Universal Studios to become a sell out like the rest of the smart people there.

Re: I'm 30 years old and no career
Uh, dude, you should take $50k of your money and buy gold/silver and take delivery or put it in a safe-only-you-know-where-it-is place.

You can take the other $200k and parlay that into several million given you are only 30 years old. Buy $100k of AIG or Goldman-Sachs.

Do it right and you will not have to work ever.

With few prospects for earning you can't invest the money dangerously. Investing in AIG or Goldman probably wouldn't make him rich anyway.

I would buy real estate now but pick a place with low property taxes...

Subject I'm 30 years old and no career

you have the funds to CREATE a career

I created my third career with NO MONEY
and no prospects
no contacts or support network as I had moved
far from my home base due to financial considertions
and I am fourty years older than you!

NO jobs for Seniors !



I got busy

just using common sense

and a keyboard


evaluate your skills, Spiritual assets as in
what is your passion in life, look over your
contacts and supportive friends, sit in your
OWN STILLNESS and your INNER CORE will evaluate
all you have assessed and give you a direction
that pleases it, therefore success is guaranteed.

we create our own luck in life.

Re: I'm 30 years old and no career
I am 32. I was at Nursing college, end of my second year of my degree when my wife decided 'I want to have a baby'. I said to her we had to wait, but she assured me "I have done all the research, and it'll take at least a year of trying for us to succeed".

Guess what? the bitch did one frigging google page of research - one fucking page! so what happens? baby comes along (is a little treasure and i adore her) wife demands that she goes back to her career - raping my future in the process as I have to give up nursing.


So, what does she do not six months later?

"I am jealous of your time at home, I am giving up work and you have to find a job".

Career raped, future raped, pension raped... the whole nine yards of my life destroyed because of a selfish act from a thoughtless person.

Now, I am 32, and earning less than I did as a 17 year old school leaver.

Do i love my wife? no, I am bitter and resent what she has done to our childs future - instead of a happy secure life, she now has an uncertain future because I can only earn a pittance in low paid jobs.

Frigging nice huh? Now OP, you got it easy lad, so don't moan about having alot of cash and no life.

What ever you do don't get married. You will reget it until the day you die.

Stay out of debt, take care of your health, you might consider immigrating to another country.

Maybe you could teach the Vietnamese language as a college professor.

Savings-wise, you're about where I was at your age. Now, I have $440K liquid, a nice house in S.F., and growing business (just opened a second office, and was recently offered $1.2 million for it), and am acquiring gold at a nice clip.

The only thing I don't have is a wife and family....which I desperately desire.

You're fine, you even have a potential wife! Lucky guy!

I think I should just stop being a pussy and face life right? If life was easy I would find something else to complain about.

But now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't get married. Those comments have some truth to them..I dunno.. so confused.

Re: I'm 30 years old and no career
Op, don't get married.Then sit down and really think about where u want to settle down.I hear Australia is nice. it s either that or you can find a place like possibly New Zealand.

Besides, marriage is a contract between you and the state.You become it's property after the deal is done and whatever you2 produce out of that transaction also becomes property of the state.Doesn't matter where you live.You are property when you are born. Most women want to get married and have the dream ,but they do not realize the price you pay for that dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.

Re: I'm 30 years old and no career
Getting married is a wonderful idea. Don't listen to these guys. Experiencing life with another is much better, the ups and downs.

If the global economy looked better i would say invest in producing something for online sale world-wide, but at this point gold bullion looks safe.

The way I see it , you got it good.

Do you know that there is 32 million people on
food stamps
in this country

Do you know that the real unemployment is near 20%


Foreclosures are on all time high

There is 45 million people without health insurance

Let me get this strait , people don't have nothing to eat'
they don't have a job , their house is getting foreclosed upon , they cant afford health insurance and you think you got the problem?

Re: I'm 30 years old and no career
Ok you have 60K but you probably have a decent job that you can depend on.. maybe even a nice 401k.

I tried to return to the US last year but ended up back in Asia because I was working a dead end job and had few friends since I lived overseas for so long.

Sometimes I think if I returned to a new state it would be an adventure but I'd like to do it with a good economy.
