I'm a really busy guy and want to keep busy, I intend to pursue a bachelor's in computer science but I just can't figure out the online degree maze. I enrolled earlier today at Colorado Technical University but I'm not entirely comfortable with it, as there's a lot of really bad reviews from former students and the classes are only 5 weeks long (who the heck can learn something in 5 weeks and retain it?)
They don't post any placement rates and the graduation rate is 20% in my program (bachelor of science in comp science, focus in software engineering). Its also owned by this CEC group which had a ton of college closures, legal issues, and it just seems like everything terrible I imagined about the phrase "for-profit college" (which it is)
I really want to get started in college very soon, I have tons of time on my hands afterwork and want to get going, can anyone here give me any advice? Thanks.

Don't go to a for-profit school, you are not going to get a good education. Go to a community college (night classes, if you're so busy), then transfer into an online program at a real university.
>>
>>18521638
What if my community college doesn't have any night classes available? I live in Alaska, its pretty shit.
Why do you say the quality of education is lower?
>>
>>18521644
Ah, that becomes more difficult then. This might be your best option if you can't get into a non-profit institution. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable comes along and can offer better advice for your situation.
I say the quality of education is lower because it is. These kind of schools are designed to extract money from people who are desperate for higher education. You can already see this, a 20% graduation rate, bad reviews, and legal issues are not a good sign. Look up other people's experiences if you don't believe me.
What I would do is double check that there's no way of making local classes work. If there really isn't, call the admissions people at some non-profit schools with online programs and explain your situation. As a last resort if both of those don't work, continue with your current program.

I hate to be one more thread on should I break up, but I really need help.
TL;DR: MY GF of a year and a half has high anxiety (possibly bipolar) and this has caused a lot of tension. I am a patient man and have been 100% supportive of her even at her worst when she has accused me of rape for kissing her when we were both drunk. She has always apologized after and I can see she is sincere and it kills her these outbursts happen. I believe she is genuine when she says she doesn't mean them.
With that out of the way, I hate to say it but I'm tired. I'm tired of walking on eggshells. I'm tired of being accused of awful things even if she apologizes afterwards. I'm tired of trying hard every day, when I don't know how far her support would be for me. And while I don't think I'm perfect, I have yet to cause on serious problem or issue in our relationship. Even after dozens of fights, she (and I though never out loud) feels every one has been from her over reacting to something. And this shouldn't be important, but god damn it I haven't had sex in a year and a half. She's a virgin (the anxiety) and only will go to third base. And I'm more than happy with that, but as the anxiety has progressed out sex life has plummeted and now even though I try to get her in the mood nothing happens.
I don't want to make the relationship sound miserable because she is easily the best girlfriend I've ever had in terms of personality. We have many similar interests and she's very intelligent so I can have actual discussions with her about politics, social issues, etc.
I guess I'm just looking for feedback here. Does anyone have any advice? Should I just suck it up?

I'd take her to psychiatrist to have her medication adjusted, she doesn't seem to be well treated currently. Don't be forceful about it gently but coax her into it while being supportive.
>>
>dealing with unstable girlfriends bullshit
>no sex
why?
Just no sex is a good enough reason to leave.
You must be miserable putting up with her shit and no reward...
>>
>>18521640
Thank you for the response.
I have taken her to a psychiatrist and he has prescribed her medicine. She is refusing to take it until she talks with her therapist though. This is actually part of what prompted me to ask help. I don't know if I should continue to date her if she doesn't take the medicine but then who am I to really say if a two trained professionals disagree with each other?

The problem is that being told that just makes me shut in more as I feel like shit.

There is a tangible sexual tension between my boss and I, she already has a boyfriend but they're going through a bad time if they haven't broken up already for she doesn't really give a fuck about make-up and stuff when she has the early shift, however since a couple days ago (when shit started going badly with her bf) she's always make-up at work.
Some time ago she asked for something work-related and after I was done with it she send me a "thank you" with a kiss emoji, she later apologized about it by saying she was sick and under the effect of medicine but it was not an isolated incident as it happened at least once more that I can remember.
A couple days ago I had to cover the night shift and she was gonna get the shift after me, she was late so I send her a text with something along the lines of "Are you gonna arrive soon? I can't wait to see you" to which she only responded with "hahaha", she also laughs at my shitty jokes irl.
Should I ask her out? I'm expecting her to reply with "I already have a boyfriend" but I'm ready and willing to go with "you need a new one", should I do it? What's the worse than can happen?

Since you asked, I guess she may accept. You two will hit it off and sleep together. However, she gets more demanding at work. Your social and work life intertwine, and when you inevitably piss her off, she will fire your ass or accuse you of sexual harrassment. Now you're out of a job.
At least, that's the worst I can think of.
>>
>>18521513
That... sounds like an acceptable outcome since she's always pissed off at work which is part of what attracts me, she must like it hard.

I'll take this thread as a sign that I should just go for it.

Hey /b/ I'm in a real problem right now and would like your advice.
I need a large amount of money (of course right, that's always the struggle) by Monday. I recently got laid off and ran out of savings. Literally only have a few bucks left. I'm gonna start a job on monday- Thursday latest. But I need the money now. Once I get paid with that job I'll be able to pay everything I owe. I already asked a friend for some cash and that helped but can't go to him again. I'm selling and pawning pretty much everything of value I can find. I'm seriously thinking about being the biggest asshole on Earth and robbing someone. Damn even writing that sounds awful.
What's your advice /b/ ?
Also phone is disconnected so I'm using WiFi when ever I can. Hopefully I can pay my phone bill today if I sell enough shit.

I really need help. I've made this thread so many times for the past 4 years, but this time I REALLY, REALLY NEED HELP.
I live in a mid-atlantic state. I want to move out after being NEET for just now over 4 years.
My grandparents are offering to pay for my schooling and give me ~$1,000 per month for rent/food/toiletries.
I'm going to start at community college and transfer to university.
I am extremely indecisive. I am 90% sure I'm on the autism spectrum, Aspergers according to a comment that my therapist voluntarily gave me a few years ago out of nowhere about how I show signs of Aspergers. I have OCD-like tendencies, will spend 30 minutes in the cereal aisle looking at the ingredients and prices. I wash my hands at least 3 times, each time I feel like my hands are dirty, have extreme generalized anxiety, and think over things I guess most people would consider trivial for months at a time, etc.............
The point of telling you this is because I cannot figure out where to move to. I take 30 minutes to choose between two different cheeses at the store, and I'm somehow going to figure out where to move? Do you see my problem?
Going back to the community college thing, I researched this for all of 2015, and came to the conclusion that western Washington was the best place with the most good community colleges with really great transfer programs. California has a few, and maybe some others scattered around the USA, but that's all I can find.

Okay, so I figured what schools are good to go to. That's a start... until the realities fuck everything up.
Now, I want my own place, but finding anything in Western Washington that will allow me to live on $1,000 +- $200 looks very unlikely. The rental vacancy rate is very low, I think #3 lowest in the country, and the prices keep increasing.
I don't know what to do. I can't live with other people. I don't want to ask my grandparents for more money just so I can live in a $1,000/month "efficiency" apartment in Seattle to go to community college.
Even typing this out makes me have no idea. I was considering Boston, but the schools aren't as good and it costs as much or more than Seattle.
I feel like I'm fucking up. I feel like I have a big opportunity and I can't even handle it. I'm literally being paid to go to school right now and I can't even set everything up to move, or find a place. It sucks really hard. I just want to go to school and live on my own.

I am scared. Because I don't know how to react to new emotions I feel now. I'm working as a lifeguard with a girl which is a cause of said emotions. And the worst part is she feels the same, because she told me few hours before. She is introvert, shy and all this stuff. Now I am the same but ten times more. We know each other only for two weeks. We live in different cities and after this job is over it would be nearly impossible to meet again. She hugged me and said things I couldn't respond with nothing more than silence and some words how I feel the same. Please help

I just want to say first that I shower every day. About a month ago, I was scratching my bellybutton and felt a film over it, which I peeled off. Since then, I always scrub my belly button because I don't know if that was mold or what. The problem is, I can't stop picking at the scabs that grow over it from all the peeling and scrubbing.
I can deal with this, but the problem is...I bled through my shirt at work in the belly button area. The first time I just told my coworkers that I had a nosebleed onto my shirt. But it happened again yesterday in the same spot. What do I tell people?
I'm thinking about saying my umbilical cord wasn't detached properly as a baby. Bandaids won't stay on because of the innie belly button hole. What's the stuff that peels off?

Hello 4channers I have come for advice :)))
I'm having trouble picking whether I want to pursue a career in politics or psychology. I have good grades and I'm in a private school so I can afford to get into a proper school. I like both equally, but I don't know how to choose. I don't need your advice on what to choose (even though I wouldn't mind such a discussion), rather, I need help on HOW to make a choice. What do I research? How do I find out for certain which one do I want?
>Pic unrelated
>Also worth mentioning, I'm not a communist. I do have political beliefs but I still haven't found the perfect ideology for me. I just like politics in general.
>Also worth mentioning, I don't plan to study in the US, therefor I won't be taking one of those years where I can determine which course I want to choose.

If you're resourceful and good at taking initiative, you could do a degree in international relations. A buddy of mine is going to science po in France. Moreso in the case of international relations, its about how you use your knowledge, the degree might only help you get started.
With psychology you'll almost certainly have to do a masters to get any decent job.
You probably already know, but be aware of the incredibly lucky position you're in (of having somebody pay for your education). Make good use of it :)
>>
>>18521442
I am very thankful, but the way I got to my grades was no luck, honestly.
Regardless.. I really don't understand how all this PHD, major, double-major etc. bullshit works, so are you saying that I'll have to spend more time in education with psych than politics?
>>
>>18521418
It is very easy young one.
Open google and search for open positions. Then read requirements.
Count how many jobs you will find with anything as
>politics degree
>psychology
And then decide it isnt worth it and find something which will actually land you a job. Good luck!
Also use glassdoor to see how your future paycheck will look like.

How do you cohabit with people you don't like online/offline? Do you just leave the place, try to ignore their traits you don't like and stay, or what?
Say, stoners, or hypersexual people, or whatever other negative trait i could use as an example. I can't stand those people. I know, ti's their live and what not, spare me of this, don't come in the thread just to say i have to accept them.
I want to know what to do in regards of the presence of some type of people you just DON'T like, specially online, in chatrooms and what not. What do, /adv/?

But you have two options, to let it go or let it impact your social life, most likely in a negative way. You're not being forced to talk to them are you?
>>
>>18521425
But they're everyone. I go on any chatroom, Discord, Steam, those chatgames, there's always one of them. It's not a matter of ignoring, it's a amtter of me not feeling well around them. Despite them, what should i do? Outright just really ignore them?

I'm scared of going outside and being judged or getting bored or getting sweaty or tired and it's all very demotivating. I also don't want to study because I'm afraid of getting bored or frustrated.
What should I do to curb these anxieties and immediately do what I have to do?

Move somewhere cooler, wear deodorant, take a shower after

The internet is all but literally endless novelty.
Hello /adv/ I am in need of your help. I am tired of having nothing and sitting on my ass all the time for naught, something needs to change for the better. My question is, if I was to go to college would it be worth getting at least a general degree since I don't really have any strong interests in any particular field?
Or if I stick to looking for work like I'm currently doing with just a high school diploma, what can I do to up my chances of being employed if I don't have any real marketable skills?
Any real advice is appreciated.

If you're really thinking about going to college, take community courses. If you want an education that will lead towards having a job, look at trade schools. Either way, if you have a job now, the best thing you can do is look for ways to get promoted. Real life work skills have value.

No, thats BS.
You sould know what job you will have at the end of the course befor you sign up otherwise your kidding yourself.
