Reply with your age. I'm 28. A lot of you talk about being in school so my assumption is that most Lainons are still in college. I'm just curious to know the age range of the users on here.

Here you can be easily in college even after 28 if you are doing Phd or something. I'm 26 by the way, but not in school for year already but I regret it much. You better enter the circle of this modern, virtual survival game as late as possible.

35. I'll probably go back to college next year to get a third degree. No master or doctorate though, they are a royal pain.

I'm probably among the younger Lainons. I'm 19, studying Computer Science.

25 year old unemployed dropout here

>>17570 21 on first year computer networking

>>17580 You're me. I've heard stories about younger lainons though.

I'm 22. Dropped out of college when I was 18 after bombing for the a year(graduated early from high school). Started working and went back to a local college near where I worked since they had a pretty cool program for inspection. It's funny, I used to think life was really structured but it only recently clicked on me that I'm basically in free roam and not tutorial mode anymore. It's both liberating and stressful since I'm wholly responsible for where I go from here.

I'm an 18 y/o high school dropout

>>17570 18 Going to school for a history degree because I love wasting my parents money.

>>17570 I'm 18. Technically i'm ending high school or whatever you people call it on the USA/Europe but tbh i kinda of dropped, haven't been in a class for 3 or 4 months by now. Passed on the University exam here back when i was 17 but because i was 17 at the time i couldn't get in so i just gave up on all my soykaf and just live to get drunk and shitpost. I wanted to go to film school but i'm going to do arts next year.

24, in a phd program

I'm 18, currently neet.

>>17590 your parents are paying for your schooling and you just want to waste their money? what a lamer.

>>17580 Ayyyyy I'm 19 as well and want to do the same.

Just turned 29, got a software job and a a studio to myself so I can't complain.

19 NEET for a year

>>17570 I am 18, and in my first year at uni. I want to be a medical doctor, so that is what I am working towards.

>>17611 >>17609 >>17598 >>17590 >tfw i realize i'm getting older

18

24 >>17614 hey man fuarrrk it we are all decaying piles of cells

20. Dropped out of computer science on a shitty university, now studying some stuff that has to do with machines and printing & doing computer-related stuff in free time. Stuff's exceptionally schway lately.

29 working full time at a fortune while getting an MS in CS. Lots of smart people on this board but since I've been here there are also tons of bullshitters or people with zero experience giving advice.

>>17593 A friend did film school and now he travels all over the world, making short and medium length films. You DO need talent, which is a mix of 70% knowledge and 30% creativity.

Oh, and once you have a decent film portafolio, try getting into good international schools. Cuba's quite good.

18! Just finished school!

23, the magik number

>>17624 >bullshitters or people with zero experience giving advice lainchan shares users with some of the shittiest boards on imageboards /g/, /a/, /tech/ et al

23.5, still in university

>>17638 sorry but you're not allowed to use half years unless you are younger than 7 or older than 80

>>17646 sorry

18 year old highschool senior. Currently planning to live full-time in a remodeled van after graduation (and maybe through community college if my family and I can afford it) and saving up for it and planning it out now.

why? datamining for a directed attack?

>>17707 you dont have much trust in people do you

21 and I'm in college. Still need a job. I'm great at cattle herding if there are any cattle herding opportunities here!

23

>>17732 Same way I felt when I first got out of highshool. I'm really good at shoving my hand up a cows ass and riding horses. So I can either do that like the rest of my family or be the first one to go to college.

27 year old drop out. Working as a wage slave until I get my act together.

I wish I was an eight year old girl, but wishing never got me anything.

Almost 23, graduating a uni as an English teacher this spring, but am working as a coder. It's all a lie though, what I truely am is a piece of soykaf .

39, unemployed.

17 years old IT-Apprentice(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

>>17775 it never ends

about to turn 22 this month. been going to college for about 3 years now for network security/server management type stuff and certs. trying to get a job in this fuarrrked up "entry level IT job. requirements: 3 years experience" type world. i have been graced with having lots more connections than most others with my qualifications and knowledge, and im even normal looking and not socially retarded, but im still getting fuarrrked. one of these days im just gonna lose my soykaf and hack the gibson.

>>17775 banning people, especially publicly, for admitting their age will only encourage them to lie. On the other hand, we can't just allow underageB&s to blatantly hang around the site. a predicament indeed. Oh, and 20 years old, tire tech, soon to be air force.

>>17775 There is no listed rule about an age limit. >>17808 >On the other hand, we can't just allow underageB&s to blatantly hang around the site. If they are indistinguishable, then there is no problem. The only problem is you arbitrarily discriminating against people.

>>17808 >will only encourage them to lie That's the idea. >>17810 >The only problem is you arbitrarily discriminating against people. There's one in every thread. The reasoning behind banning underaged posters isn't deeply-ingrained imageboard 'discrimination' or 'ageism' (and it sure isn't arbitrary), it's about abiding by the federal age of majority laws. Kalyx could get in serious legal trouble if he was caught knowingly exposing underaged users to adult content and turning a blind eye. Because website age verification hasn't evolved to the level of crosschecking computer biometrics with individual records yet (thank god J. Edgar Hoover's dead and buried), there's no convenient way for a webmaster to tell if somebody's legally considered underaged unless they outright admit that they are.

21, finished High school, didn’t go to collage and has been in and out of jobs ever since. Now unemployed. Always wondering how my programming can be better. >no kids allowed.

>>17570 24. never worked. no shame.

I'm 15. I don't really post so I guess I'm not annoying. Go ahead and ban me.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

>>17831 It could be worse. You could be a University graduate with a shitload of debt working some job that you could've gotten outta highschool Now THAT must suck.

>>17570 21 artfag >>17845 there's a lot to presume regarding why you're here

27. Certified 3 time community college dropout. Have worked in various IT positions since I was 17. I want to go back to school to get a degree in classics or something similar but I like where I live and don't want to go live in a city.

New old rule: This website is 18+

>>17850 You should update the rule page.

>>17856 No way great idea, wew.

Working full time. 22. I'm SSH years old!

>>17570 18, failing first semester Math like the retard I am, used to post back when I was underage

>all the "18" year olds here

28 years old and been in college for 10 years. Taking classes whenever I could afford them. I'm finally graduating this December!

>>17874 jeez man. I hated school so much i couldn’t wait to get out of it. 10 years sounds like hell.

>>17875 I found out I had a learning disability which led to a depression that lasted a couple years. So college for me was basically on again, off again. But I chugged through it and finally earned enough credits to get a bachelors. I was actually done after this summer but it isn't official until I get that damn paper in the mail next month.

>>17877 Well i hope it was worth it. Did you get anything in return? I have a friend who is thinking about dropping out cause hes not forced to take gender, Ethics and art classes, when hes majoring in computer sci. i hate school.

>>17878 I thought it was worth it and got a tremendous amount of experience along the way. I love learning and I realized that I just had to do it at my own pace. Honestly, I think that's what college (at least here in the US) should be like. Instead of stressing the hell out of students to get it done in 4 years.

20 years old last week, studying electronic engineering

>>17874 >>17877 nice one dude. big up.

56, in college.

>>17845 I think I know who you are

I just turned 18 about 15 minutes ago and this is my first post.

>>17905 congrats dude. when i turned 18 i was brewing soykaf on 4chon.net that was about 4 years ago now. the only real thing i regret is getting a back injury when i tried weightlifting. other than that life isn't that bad when you're free to do what you want.

>>17898 what are you going in for? at my local college i meet a lot of dudes who are fed up with their careers. it's funny, welders want to be IT guys and IT guys want to be welders as well as all sorts of curious mixes. there's a dude who was a radiographer trying to become an industrial inspector. seems like life was hard on him. home country was shit, has a divorce already, his HOA was corrupt as soykaf and stole insurance money meant for his brother's house.

>>17816 Considering how all 18+ content is hidden by a spoiler, I doubt Kalyx could be held liable because someone chose to look at it. Additionally, there is no incentive for anyone to pursue legal action. And that is only possible if they can physically locate the people running this web site. >>17859 Nice sarcasm. If you are going to have a non obvious (and clearly bullshit) rule, then you ought to list it.

>>17925 /ht/ appears (unspoilered) in /random/ now. There were a case about a mother on 4chan whose son she'd caught watching porn on the site in 2007 (give or take two years). She threatened a lawsuit which could have held some water in court. There's probably something about it in the 'History of Forumboards' document. Asking seventeen year-old posters not to share their honest age isn't demanding a lot anyways. There's absolutely no reason for underaged posters to feel discriminated against in any way. >going to have a non obvious It's actually pretty obvious.

>>17928 >/ht/ appears (unspoilered) in /random/ now. That is breaking global rule eight. Also, /ht/ and /random/ are hidden boards. >There were a case about a mother on 4chan whose son she'd caught watching porn on the site in 2007 (give or take two years). She threatened a lawsuit which could have held some water in court. There's probably something about it in the 'History of Forumboards' document. Can you link me to this? I can't seem to find anything about it. >Asking seventeen year-old posters not to share their honest age isn't demanding a lot anyways. No one ever asked this. >It's actually pretty obvious. >>17775 did not realize it. Also, not all of us live in a country where 18 is the majority.

>>17933 >That is breaking global rule eight. Kalyx isn't as picky about porn anymore. >No one ever asked this. Then asking underaged users not to post in age-brag threads at all, whichever. >Can you link me to this? I can't seem to find anything about it. I can't find anything about it in the '4chan Chronicles'. If I find a link I'll make sure to share it. >>>17775 did not realize it. He should have. Every other *chan has the exact same rule and the exact same punishment. We had it too before the rules were rewritten to be more layman-friendly a few weeks ago, somebody accidentally left it out. I do think he should be un derezzed , but he'd probably want to take it up with a mod on IRC. >not all of us live in a country where 18 is the majority. It's an American website and follows domestic law.

24, working lousy job.

24. Failing uni student.

>>17599 he's probably being sarcastic

I'm 24, highschool dropout and pretty much trying to make a living with random skills. Programming isn't working for me, but I love math and programming and I try to learn in my free tome, but I can't be consistent in a subject etcera, </blog>

>>17999 >>17991 >>17981 are you related?

21 Worked full-time as a netadmin since I was 17. Also been going to community college since then. Got an associates in programming and now I'm a semester away from a netadmin degree. Ready to be done with this soykaf .

25, working full-time at a small smokeshop in my city. Planning on going back to Uni for IT; undecided whether or not to specialize in programming or cybersecurity. All I have currently regarding schooling is 2 years of a Bachelors Degree I didn't finish in Graphic Design.

>>17590 20 here, also in history There are things you can do with it my friend If you love information, look into information sciences (closely related to library sciences/librarianship) If you love straight up history, be prepared for a career in academia/teaching (likely high school)

>>17588 >free roam mode Huh. I guess the tutorial is over. Now do I grind for job EXP, gold, or stay in wanderer mode and keep leveling up worldly EXP? 23 here, I really wish I had started thinking about it this way sooner.

>>17808 >soon to be chairforce I think I know who this is. And now you know who I am I guess... 24, IT

>>18346 >now you know who I am I don't think I do, actually. You probably think I'm someone else.

>>18348 Maybe you are someone else. Maybe I'm someone else as well.

I turned 21 today. I'm working on a master in Computer Engineering. I don't feel smart/motivated enough to manage to do it, though. I feel like dropping out.

>>17808 When do you leave? I'll be there in BMT in February.

>>18367 I'm 25 dropped out of community college because I didn't feel like it was for me anymore. So now I'm joining the air force because I'm a lazy fuarrrk and want to leave my parents house.

>>18367 I just swore in yesterday with the Air Force. I'm hoping to get a 2A, 3D, or 1N related job.

>>18369 Your actual swear in or just the one you did after you finished your MEPS visit?. Not too familiar with the job codes but I'm going in as Security Forces and will be an E3.

>>18370 The one after MEPS.

>>18371 So I take it you haven't been given your leave date yet. Also in reality thats not a real swear in you can still back out all the way up to the real swear in that happens on your leave date, even when you sign your contract you can still tell your recruiter that you changed your mind. But once you get to the swear in on your leave date thats it theres no turning back. Not trying to convince you to not join just letting you know since sometimes recruiters will most of the time tell you half truths so they can get you to stay.

>>18372 Alright but why are we even talking about it because I don't plan on canceling.

>>18373 Just some advise because most people I met going into the military are never told the full truth of the matter, and career councilors will often times try to throw you in a job you don't want just so they can get you out of the way and get done with their work faster. I don't want to see someone going into the same field as me getting screwed over and placed in a soykaf job. Also another bit of advise is that if your recruiter does try to put you in a job you don't want or wasn't on your list of jobs you wanted you can just tell them you'll wait until they can secure you a job that you want. I don't mean any offense by me telling you this, its just information that gets passed on from newly enlisted to people looking to join just to make sure we don't get screwed too hard.

>>18372 That can't be right. If you sign DD Form 4 you are obligated service, period. If you know someone who got out of their contract then they more than likely managed it by not being fit for duty or medically ready. If you only heard this you should verify your source, otherwise it bum gouge. Swear ins are only words, paper is binding.

>>18375 Heard it from a friend and even checked with my uncle who is a Lieutenant Colonel, the contract is just to show that everything is in order and that you are going in with the rank and job you are qualified for.

>>18376 I still disagree with you. I wouldn't trust your uncle as a valid source because commissioning and enlistment are two different creatures, and as an O5 he probably hasn't even seen enlistment nor even commissioning paperwork since the start of his career unless he was an admin dept head or similar position.

>>18375 The contract you're given doesn't actually take effect until the day you leave and your given a packet that has your orders in it. Once you're given that packet you will be asked if you are sure this is what you want and are given a chance to leave, and once you step into the swear in room and swear in your life as a civilian is over and you are now part of the armed service. My source I got sit in on one as well after my with my medical examines. Also a friend in the Army told me the samething when he swore in last year.

>>18378 The oath of enlistment doesn't mean for soykaf outside of DD Form 4 (Section H - Confirmation of Enlistment, which you sign to validate you gave the oath). It's the same form you sign to enter DEP, switch from DEP/to active/reserve duty, and is the oft referred to "dotted line". The oath means nothing outside of the signatures on that form saying you gave the oath. You typically sign it after giving the oath, but if you didn't you should probably read things before signing them. My source is USC Title 10 Part 2 Chapter 31, DD Form 4, and myself as enlisted.

>>18385 Well I guess things changed because I sat in on one 3 months ago and the officer giving the instructions said that you can turn back right now but once you go in the room to take your oath thats it, like I said it was even the same when my friend went into the Army last year. He could leave all the way up to the point where he had to swear in and after he swore in he was on his way to BMT. On my DD Form 4 the purpose of this contract is >To determine enlistment/commissioning eligibility, and process qualified applicants. To determine classification and assignment actions after enlistment or commissioning, to include benefits and entitlements. DD4 doesn't mean anything other than promising you that you are going in with the rank and job you are qualified for.

>>17881 You're almost me. 20, 2nd year electronic engineering. I want to go into robotics and embedded systems later.

>>17775 >>17850 >New old rule: This website is 18+ Isn't a established rule, so it don't interest me. Hope this anonymous admin does not really believe a ip ban stop anybody

>>18443 >hurr it's not on te rules page, i don't have to follow it! They'll still ban your ass for admitting you're underaged. Feel free to test the waters. > does not really believe a ip ban stop anybody It's meant to discourage users from evading. Of course it isn't difficult to duck it, everybody knows that (including the staff). Are you implying that you're evading a ban? Individual IP bans are really all they've got. Range bans aren't going to ensue because somebody thought he was schway for being on an imageboard under 18.

>>18462 Do you even know how to sage?

>>18462 What we are saying is that it is ridiculous to have unspoken rules.

25, graduated 2 years ago and working. I hate my job but it's the first time I've had real money in my life, so it's nice too.

18 years, senior in high school. College apps, college apps, college apps. I want to do comp sci and ideally minor in linguistics. They're the two most interesting fields I've found and I love them. Looks like I'll even be able to skip the first two years of Chinese courses because I took them at a local college. I'm happy, but I've always struggled keeping my grades up (my standardized test scores are high so I'll get into college), so I hope I can fix that in college. At least I already know a pretty decent amount of programming.

>>18783 If you're standardized test scores are good enough, and you know enough programming to build a portfolio it's possible some smaller schools with play for you to attend them. A friend of mine did that, and they paid for his housing and food as well, he had a 35 on his ACT and a 3.5, though.

>>18804 I should probably try to build a portfolio more formally, but I have all the work that teachers throw at you, specifically in classes that are fairly useless. I'm never going to critique literature but I'm required to know how.

>>18826 Did you perhaps go to a private school?

>>18827 Nope. Public school. Took a lot of honors courses though. Also our district at least requires four years of English. Which amounts to literary analysis essays.

I only pop in on rare occasion but I'm 24 and have just started grad school.
