@Chumbimba I can help you set your feet on the way. Do you know what kind of programming do want to do ?

Note : what I described sounds hard, but it is actually the easy way. I'm in stage 4 - saving money. I have still 3 years to go

@Chumbimba A lot is possible, not everything but much much more than you can possible expect. Let's check facts: You have dept from College You live with your Ex Girlfriends family You work in a call center You had a lost degree in spain You study psychology but you want to change to CS You don't know what is right That sucks for you. BUT you are only 22. Be focused and it won't even a big hustle to be financial free at 30 to 32. Earlier if you figure out how to make money without a 3 year college. Ok here is the How to Research what job is in demand, thus relatively secure and high paying) AND from that what of these job you could possible do in 5 years. Don't be shy, you can do a whole lot in 5 years if you study focused. Do what necessary is to get a job, for example go to college to get a Bachelor in Computer Sciences. Then apply. Work yourself up the ladder until you are dept free. This should be easily the case after 3 years of work with a yearly income of 50.000. If not, you will take longer. Save money, think about retirement. Save enough to survive 2 years!! (rent, food and ALL other expenses) without a job. Go on to save. You are free with 32. However, if you buy a new car or a house on dept you will be in trouble. If you start to have kids before you are financially secure you will have major troubles. Same with marriage. Read Aaron Clarey - Worthless . He is a very grumpy blue / orange guy, but if he has one skill then it is to get you on your way. However, follow the advice and not his occasional drivel about how bad socialism is. That is distraction to you. Good luck

@LfcCharlie4 Yeah maybe, but OP is out of psychology. I would say that psychology can be very practical in every interaction as you learn about us humans. But to get a job can be a hustle, true. However, you would be amazed what would happen if a psychology major would learn practical statistics and apply for such jobs. There is a permanent shortage of statisticians. Which brings us back to my formula : The more math, the more money. The more you learn in the job, the more value you have as a person in a orange economy. The more obligatory a job, the more pay (if the other factors are true). For example what would you do with a broken leg - Buy some art or go to the doctor ? Do you see ? Rent or a Play Station ? A Smartphone or Food ? Of course many go into Psychology to flee math. But if you learn on mathematical framework like basic Statistics plus 2 advanced like multivariate analysis and time series you tripled your employment chances in a decent job. However, we in Germany have far higher standards for what a good job is. Paid overtime, paid vacation, paid if you are ill, health insurance and a 40 hour work week for a full worker is what is given. A Psychologist can easily work all over Germany with a Bachelors as we have a shortage - as long he or she is willing to use math or programming on top of their education.

@randomguy123 Well, this hustler mentality is not for everyone. And lots of people stay where they are. Legions of lowpaid Youtubers or Start-Up Founders. I mean hustle if you want to, but be smart. Make yourself a nice groundwork of skill and you are good. But yeah, find opportunity where you can.

I understand. How much time is left until you attend university ? The number 1 Skill for programming : You can sit on the computer for 8 hours and concentrate on a subject. You have to learn this. An other tip. The more stressful, hard or responsible the job the less competition is for or in the job. The hard route is in the long run the easy route (if played out right). Greetings

I've studied Social Science, but work as a Developer for 8 Months in a middle size corporation and we have some major corporations as customers. I am an autodidact, who trains programming still very heavy on a daily basis. However, I've contact with many former CS Majors in job who told me about the university. 1. Depends on you university. But be ready to learn a lot of (seemingly useless) theory like theoretical informatics. In many universities is little to no focus on programming, you have only some courses or so. You could dodge a lot of programming related courses with more theory related courses... have discipline 2. Yes. But learn on piece and you can go a little further, then another and another and then you can solve your problem. That's it. Be persistent. 3. Yes. But you learn to appreciate the boring parts as they are necessary to master anything including programming. - Consider this : A lot of people will go into programming in the next years. That means you have to use you comparatively early start to get good. Read Thomas & Hunt : The Pragmatic Programmer and Hunt : Pragmatic Learning ( !!!! ). This is for soft skills and little tricks, these guys are HUDGE in the Programmer Community. They invented AGIL with some others ( look it up ). - If you want to be secure you have have a signature skill like statistics or so to complement your skills. Data Science & Machine Learning still is hot, AI is maybe coming

@Moreira You are right with every word in my opinion.

Yes, in the sense that this brings more balance and peace to the World:) I like that!

That and that: is the essence of healthy Yellow and early Turquoise. The opposite is true. There is a point to talk to them, you answer reciprocal. They are kind and friendly, you are kind of friendly. BUT! They try to force their believes on you, you stay friendly and may tell them that you disagree. If they continue to push, you answer with the same force. Or you go with the flow, because you can't argue with ignorance. Akido Communication Style. Normally will this not be an issue, because that are glimpses of ignorance. If you wait until they become back to consciousness, everything will work out smoothly - Without any further manipulation on your part. Just wait until it's over and you'll see how it'll get better over the years with you relation to certain individuals. With the default verbal aggressive ones it's sometimes a big mistake to be to patient, because they take it a weakness... But double check if it is someone like that... ussually they have a reputation for being rude. But pleeeease do not be default aggressive to people you expect to be in blue or lower I was certainly at that point to be verbal passive aggressive to lower stage people and - guss what - it caused tremendous suffering on my part.. This is the whole 'woke people' in green against ignorance fight you see in the media.. That is so right! But do not let them compromise your own values. Well written! That is the hardest part. Yeah. Spiral Dynamics becomes counterproductive for us to get to higher stages, but it can be a key to raise lower stages. If one is so high he or she can take on the mission to make a new model. Haha. Well, at some point will models not be very useful any more. But we are faaaaar from that. Mhh, is the absence of empathy, patience and compassion a indicator for lower stages or is it a different line of developement?

Yeah, that's puzzle thing is not cool. But hey, I'm really good at it now. Training;) How good is that brave browser? BTW I use Firefox plus an external VPN Program. I would like to have secure as standart, not as special like it is now: 'why would he like to be so anonymous? what kind of shady business is he doing?' But lets be real: It's also a key technology for revolutionaries, protesters and criminals. But that is a tiny fraction, well, we'll see how that plays out. Sidenote: 1. Do you use Whatsapp? I'm thinking about switching to Signal / Threema, but I would have to make a pitch to everyone at work, in my family and in my social circle. Eeeeeh..! That is the problem with 'social networks'! If many are there it's a disadvantage not to be there. And many think like that, so nothing happens. And what if 'my' secure messenger will not be popular? 2. Do you know that there is a alternative to Android / IOS with a pure Linux Phone ? That's right, you can use it like a normal computer with bluetooth mouse, keyboard and Screen. The only problem is the price of the hardware (like 650$ or 700€). I think in some years we'll have normal OS' on our mobile, but right now it's not yet here... I would really like linux on blackberry-like hardware with a physical keyboard;) 3. The real secure phone (by Edward Snowden) : You take a normal new smartphone (Android, IOS or whatever). You open it and take all Cameras and Microphons out. If you want to take or make a call, you use a headset. A little bit extreme though and you need some skills to play with a 700$+ device;D Idk what is with location tracking issues and if you can take out a unit like a microphone.. This'll be a propblem a long as we need real mobile number for mobile internet..

Hello, my brave fellow carpetbagger. I present you stage yellow crack, not kidding. You certainly know Youtube. You know that it has Algoryhtms that determine which videos you get. This can be a advantage or a disadvantage, mostly a disadvantage. It keeps people stuck in a bubble. And lastly you know VPN Clients. I give you the recipe to use VPNs for research. But 'Why would I want to do that?' you may ask. I plea you to find the answer for yourself;) Recipe: You need a VPN and a group you want to research. For example Christians in the rural parts of US and we search on Youtube. 1. Make a connection with a server in the US 2. Go in with a blank browser with no cookies or other history or Ad-Blocker (you want to see the ads!) 3. Go to youtube and type in a phrase that is typical for your group. For our example with the formula US-State + Christian activity -> North-Dakota Curch Choir 4. Look at the results. You want people that speak their mind as little youtubers (<50.000 subs) or Celebrity of the target group that speak on an event. If you find nothing, then return to 3. 5. Watch some Videos, makes notes, whatever. Click like crazy. 6. Go to the Home side of youtube an see what video are presented to you - TADA! 7. You can use whatever other Website you want - but attention! As soon as you are out your 'persona' is gone (of course!). Have fun

I haven't read the book, but I know the phenomenon. What do you think about this? You can't remove welfare and charity at this point without provoking violence. The people are dependend, because it's kind of easy in the present, but horrible in the long run. It's like not going to the dentist. Some day you have to go and sacrifice more teeth compared to if you went there on a regular basis ( took advice etc).

I'd like to go meta on this discussion. 1. Firstly we need to clear that we understood each other : @Sizeable Oof, you meant finding our trigger points in politics would help us to get over them or tackle them healthy, right? If roughly true, go to 2, but If wrong we need to clarify this. 2. My Theory is that our childhood upbringing and development from then on relative to where we are from highly influences our trigger point. For example if you are coming from a all blue/orange community you are likely at best green in your teenage years. If you went abroad or to college you encounter many oranges, greens and some yellows. Relative to your old setting this seems fresh and new. This is all that 'Come home to Christmas / Thanks Giving Dinner and hear you relatives talk racist shit' posts on vice et al. Now consider a second path. You grow up in a green community with strong spiritual ways, which is weak in making money. Maybe you go beyond green or you go down into orange to make a decent living. Now you get triggered by you hippie elders and their unpractical ways. Here a interpretation alternative: Maybe you go along with the hippie parents and choose to go into a green movement, that happens to get you in jail for a political action. You surrender and call in at Stefan Molyneux' show to tell everyone about 'your sick left wing past'. Or you go to jail, but stay to true to your values. Now you are triggered by 'the facist state' and so on.. See? Here is my formula: Interpretation of your developement relative to your developementhistory determines your trigger points

@Umar I don't know the Author, not even listen to an interview or something like that. Why do you think he's in Green? I don't find green values in the stories, even though the Orm obviously flew through the author.

@Derek White Nobody is perfect. Yeah, he should be humbler. But at least he tells you: 'I'm full of shit, like you, but it gets better. Clean ya room, man,'... Just what some people need... For other people is that bad advice.

@SoothedByRain

@Yog @Leo Gura Well, I had almost regressed back into Orange. Peterson and his crowd can be quite influencing. My Perception changed over time. At the time Jordan Peterson came to fame I liked his content. I was in Green Movements all my teens, but I got frustrated with the limitations of green. I wanted to get things done, but all of my friend were into drugs, politics & talking shit. It was like you find your new family and then you realize that you on your own again. In other words I developed a Green Shadow. So Jordan Peterson gave me what I wanted to hear, with wisdom here and there. Finally I was able to outgrow much of my green shadow. So that went great for me. But I was almost there - in close mindedness. I was was lucky there....

@SoothedByRain Wasn't Star Trek, at least the newer ones, build with Spiral Dynamics in mind? He said that, but I find no evidence in the fookin' interwebs, maaan.

@Yog I'm sorry, what do you mean?

Thats goofing arround in my mind. Models get better the more one plays with it. Maybe someone will discuss in 2 weeks on which stage spongebob squarepants is... ahaha^^

@Leo Gura Savage..;D Well, Peterson gets the most replies from this communist bashing (although it's not communist but what northern america feels what communism is). Supply and Demand.

The World is between Blue and Red, with Orange at best in the cities. Some people are higher, with Gerald reaching into yellow Greetings

To read some books is definetly a good start. You can surely find some youtube channels about psychology.
