I've been out of college for almost a year. I've been in and out of wage slave jobs for six years. I graduated from San Francisco State with a Bachelors Degree in English.

My question is simply this: Is going back to school to get a worthwhile degree (Engineering/Science) a good investment at this point? Or is there a way I can use my current degree to land a career? I'm at a loss as to how to approach any of this.

Gonna tell you the same thing I told the anon with the history major

>either settle for a gov't job that only requires a degree and computer skills
>keep trying for that dream job and work a shitty walmart job in the meantime
>expand your search and fields that you apply in

I'm sure not many people start in their dream job. Most work for credentials towards that position, or something that is somewhat related to what they want.

Thanks for the help!
Just to cover all bases, what if I do not have a dream job?
>>
>>18033883
Not that person but if you really don't have THAT one thing you always wanted to do (in my case working at any place that lets me direct a specific task (lol project management/director)) try to work in different fields to see if you get inspired by somebody or something.

Don't you even have that one stupid dream job like working at Nintendo or being a professional football player?

Recently I've been getting out of the house more in the hope of meeting some qt girls. I'm in decent shape and fairly handsome. And I can see women noticing me. I just....don't know what to do. I freeze up and can't talk to them. I'm not socially retarded or anything, just a loner. I've never really let myself open up to women before but now I'm determined to meet some and get out there. I don't really know what to do. I just go to stores and stuff. I don't really wanna go to bars or clubs because that's just not me. I can't meet women through school, or friends or work. Those things just aren't an option for me. Any suggestions?

When I'm in a situation like that I always try to use my social awkwardness as some form of humor so I don't look like a retard. I suggest when you're in a situation like that, have the mentality of "Wow, how morbid is this situation?". And since you don't go to literally anywhere where you can socialize with single women, if you're desperate enough maybe you can try online dating sites.
>>
>>18033765

just force yourself into a situation where you talk to people. you just are out of practice.
>>
>>18033775

I go to places where I assume single women are. Like coffee shops, book stores, target etc. etc. Single women are everywhere. And I see women notice me, like I said I just can't get over the initial hurdle of talking to them. I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess I've been conditioned to believe that it's creepy or awkward to approach women and that in public you're supposed to just be really reserved and not talk to strangers. I've tried online dating and determined that it's a gigantic waste of time. I would be settling for pretty low quality women simply because I'd forced myself into that medium. Those sites don't attract quality girls in my opinion. At least in my area

My best friend told me yesterday she's not in love with her husband anymore. They have a young child together and have been married for 10 years.

When we first met a few years ago I asked her what she thought about the two of us being more than friends and she told me "we're only friends and that's all we'll ever be and she loves her husband no matter what she says"

What should I do in this situation? I'm attracted to her but I don't know if she feels the same way or I'm just confusing her actions from us being best friends.

Don't be a selfish home-wrecker. Leave it alone until she has left him. Once she does then make your move, but be prepared for rejection.
>>
>>18033735
And this is why marriage is a bad idea. 10 years married with a child, and she's just now "losing interest" in him. Add in potential homewreckers like yourself and it's just a recipe for disaster.
>>
>>18033740
marriage isn't a bad idea, marrying prematurely without truly knowing someone, that is a real problem. it's better to go years single than not really know someone who has been there the whole time.

How do i get hair texture like the one in number 2?
Is it genetic or some hair product?

>>18033710
Undercut with long on top.
Then feathering the strands to give it that fluffy look.
End with styling gel.
>>
>>18033710
You would need to have thick hair in the first place but the answer is usually a hair dryer combined with a round brush and some type of pomade.

Also 45 uninterrupted minutes to achieve the look.

Like I didn't realize how horribly pathetic my life is until I started to type it all out. I have no idea what to even begin with to change, but I think and just understood this now I might write down what I did that day and make logs and check back to see how I did and how it makes me feel.

take up a hobby like D&D or board games where you play with other people in the same room. baby steps.

That kinda stuff isn't for me
>>
>>18033721

you dont know that. if you like playing video games, youll like those things if you give them a chance.

but thats not the point. the point is that you dont have any hobbies or interests. so of course, anything i might suggest you'll say "isnt for you"

well guess what? "you" sucks. make a better one. try new things. if you dont do that, youll be what you are now forever: alone

I don't know what to do I'm confused.
I am always a kind person sometimes naive, but recently I've noticed something in me that changed and I don't even know if it's good or not.
In the past I used to afraid to say "No" whenever someone asks me to do them favors. I used to scared of people not happy with me and will be abandoned.
Now that I changed I'm not afraid of that anymore. I'm being cruel and sometimes a bit selfish. Selfish here I meant in some cases I will put my benefit on top of everything. I used to be bullied by others co workers that I am what I am now.
What should I do? Is this what a person transforms into a adult completely? Or I am being a bad person?

I am confused. I don't know what to do now. Please help. I need some advice or sharing.

I know right. That's what I thought but I don't know if it's a bit too much such as in front of my boss and my colleagues I straight up tell my boss if someone didn't do their job probably and even offered myself to the job to get things done right. I don't know, I'm somewhat confused
>>
>>18033732

dont put others down, but dont be afraid to speak up if you think things could be done better. if your boss doesnt like it, find a new one. life is too short.

I thought that the four years of highschool was all the time I had to put up with complete assholes and superficial girls. Then after I graduated I observed my surroundings and quietly exclaimed to myself about how there was no difference between my current situation and the one I suffered through in school...it turns out the real world is nothing more than an extension of highschool in terms of the shallow concern toward the outward appearance of people, their experience in bed, and to an even more extreme degree, their financial status. I don't didn't have any of these sought-after traits back in school and I sure as hell don't have them now. It's as if nothing's changed besides the time...does highschool ever end?

That's not the way I see life at all. To me high school ended and now I'm free to do whatever I want in the world.

You might be hanging around the wrong crowd for you. Sure there are people who might talk about outward appearance of people, their experience in bed, and financial status in public but there are also plenty of people where those things aren't at the top of their list. You just have to talk to them to find out what they value.
>>
>>18033634

stop worrying about what dipshits think about you. high school sucks because there are usually only a few hundred kids you can interact with and there's no guarantee that you'll find chill folks.

after you adult, you can move to wherever you want and get into bigger social circles where people dont suck. numbers are better. no, people dont change en masse
>>
>>18033652
>I'm free to do whatever I want in the world
That's kind of the answer I expected, but the thing of it is now that I'm free of that environment I want to achieve those types of things in the big world now that I'm no longer restrained by my youthful ignorance. Everyone wants it to some degree, even if they don't admit it. They care about the "coolness" of their cars and mess with their hair 15 times a day so it doesn't get out of place, all in the attempt to attract the right types of friends and make progress on the social ladder.

I dropped out of university and will never be going back. I really want to be an electrician but I'm worried about years of apprenticeship. I like trucks and driving, but I don't want to be a long-haul trucker because I like to be home every night.

I'm thinking about taking a 6 month community college program to be a heavy duty equipment operator. That or go to driving school to get a DZ license (dump trucks, cement trucks, garbage trucks, etc).

I don't care about getting rich, I just want a simple but comfortable life. Any other suggestions on careers I should look into would be appreciated.

Hey /adv/....So I am 24 years old, and met this girl whose 27. We hooked up the first night without even knowing our names.

But as things progressed to the next day we we're super friendly and outgoing with each other and it seemed like she was really into me.

We exchanged numbers and everything was cool..

A few days go by of simple chat, not much..

Then she tells me I should come over to her house late at night (booty call). But I say I can't too busy with school and other things tomorrow...So she says it's fine..


I ask her for a picture of herself though...She says, "Too bad you don't have an instagram"

I reply saying "fuck social media, that shits poison"

She replies "Yeah, I agree, but at least you'd get a picture of me, hahahah"

I say "naaaah, I want to feel special, send me a picture of yourself RN!"

She says "Do you not remember what I look like!?"

I just say "lmao!" And send her a picture of myself at the library chilling...

Then this is where she doesn't reply at all...

I send her two more texts after that saying "it's nice to have a picture of you. Why only text when we can express ourselves through pictures!" "No pressure though! I just thought it would be fun =)"


Literally a full day later and NO TEXTS...

This shit is bugging the fuck out of me /b/!!! What the hell did I do wrong with this chick???

Is she offended? Does she think I don't know what she looks like and figures i'm just a fuckboy??

I'm cheating on my bf with my ex, none of them know about each other and I started feeling stressed... I still love my ex but he's often fleeting and distant.. He shows me that he loves me but he's indipendent and needs his space. I like my boyfriend and I like how our relationship is going, but my heart belongs to another..
I know I'm fucking everything up and it's my whole fault but I don't know what to do.. If I'd also leave my bf or stop talking to my ex my heart'd want always the same : him.

Hello, I live in Europe and I am going to the US for the first time.

I have some questions,

Can you drink the tap water?

Do I need to bring soap and other hygiene items?

Can I buy a gun there, as a tourist?

What are the rates of HIV and is it possible to buy contraceptive devices like condoms in shops? I am over 18 years of age.

I am also thinking of bringing a small bottle of local brew, and I was wondering if I can get in trouble in the customs for bringing in an alcholic liquid?

Thank you!

Yes, depending on what state you're in.

Obviously yes.

Probably not, and even if you did you wouldn't be able to legally get it out of America.

No idea, but you can buy condoms basically anywhere.

Not too sure about the last one.
>>
>Can you drink the tap water?
No you should not
>Do I need to bring soap and other hygiene items?
Yes unless you want to use your money.
>Can I buy a gun there, as a tourist?
No you cannot
>What are the rates of HIV and is it possible to buy contraceptive devices like condoms in shops? I am over 18 years of age.
Fast Facts. More than 1.2 million people in the US are living with HIV, and 1 in 8 of them don't know it. From 2005 to 2014, the annual number of new HIV diagnoses declined 19%. Gay and bisexual men, particularly young African American gay and bisexual men, are most affected. *Also lesbians as well.
>I am also thinking of bringing a small bottle of local brew, and I was wondering if I can get in trouble in the customs for bringing in an alcholic liquid?
Generally, one liter of alcohol per person may be entered into the U.S. duty-free by travelers who are 21 or older, although travelers coming from the U.S. Virgin Islands or other Caribbean countries are entitled to more. ... It is not legal for travelers under the age of 21 to import alcohol - even as a gift.
>>
>>18033592
>Can you drink the tap water?
No, we all just drink soda it's why we're all so fat.

>Do I need to bring soap and other hygiene items?
If you're staying in a hotel/motel then no. We have illegal immigrant Mexican women that work for the establishment you're staying at that give those things to you daily. Otherwise buy them from the Wal-Mart. It's where we buy everything.
>Can I buy a gun there, as a tourist?
Legally, no you can not.
>What are the rates of HIV and is it possible to buy contraceptive devices like condoms in shops?
Just stay away from the gays and blacks and you'll be fine. Plus yes you ca buy condoms almost anywhere.

Just drink our beer. It's the best. I suggest something like a Bud Light or anything Keystone brand.

You're welcome.

You should get drunk an hour before the test. It will help you concentrate more.

Balding doesn't matter. But your own perceptions of balding can form a crack which will be ripped open into a canyon.

Don't listen to /adv/ telling you to put up and shut up. If a woman starts throwing shit at your mind, find a different woman.

does she care? yes
will she dump you over it?probably not.

My ex is now a neo nazi born again lunatic. Her new husband doesn't know how much of a whore she is (in detail, he knows she slept with me). I was fine with this until she posted online saying that she regretted "sinning" with me. Should I tell her husband the truth? That she loves it in the ass and she asked me to piss inside her? That she got drunk in highschool and let a random guy finger her at a party? I'm pissed off as fuck. Making love to her meant the world to me and she LOVED it and now she's denying that? I don't even want her back I just don't want her getting entrapped by this weirdo internet preacher and to be abused by him after his trapped her with babies. They've only known each other four months and she's using his name and it's crazy as shit. Thoughts?

Oh also she had another ex who bullied her into sex when she was 16 and used her body like a flesh light for a whole year afterwards, causing her pain in doggy with each thrust. Shouldn't her husband know that? He values purity above all after all. Plus she cheated on me by sexting with a long time friend and ex boyfriend she's still in contact with now. And she freaks out about cheating, going as far as to blame me for cheating on her with my sister, which is odd because she wante me to role play as her brother. And she'd grab my dick in public, try to have public sex with me and she woke me up by inserting me into her when a friend was asleep in the same room as us. Should I tell him these things? Or leave them to each other's mental illnesses and abuses.

Is there a reason you dont respect her choices in culture? I mean what happens if you tell him and he doesent care.

For the past two months, I've really been considering and thinking about the possibility of committing suicide.

I began seeing a therapist, but I'm too afraid to start taking meds out of distrust for the therapy system.

My girlfriend has been angry with me for a week or two. This is because I yelled at her over something completely stupid, probably due to all the stress that's built up over these past couple months.

I've tried to explain to her that I'm stressed, and very regretful that I've treated her poorly. She tuned me out and began telling me that she feels horrible and asking if I don't love her.

I began to explain to her that I'm stressed out about therapy, suicidal thoughts, conflicting emotions about suicide, and my high-stress job. She chuckled and told me that hearing this made her not want to get help for her eating disorder.

I don't know what to do anymore. My own girlfriend isn't even willing to listen to my problems. What should I do?

I'm the guy who made the fluoxetine thread, btw.

Seriously? Break up with your girlfriend.

If she causes you more stress and turns your issue into something about her, she's a cunt.

Relax. Beyond life is a void of nothingness with no return. Or worse. Move on, dude.

What's your job that causes you such high stress? And get on the meds if the thoughts are that disruptive. If you don't like them, you can always wean off them.
>>
>>18033532
I just took the meds.

To be fair, it was inappropriate for me to yell at my girlfriend.

She was at a birthday party (There was no alcohol or anything) and jokingly posted a photo of her kissing her female friend on the cheek in a hot tub. I saw this photo and became furious, but the funny thing is that I don't remember exactly why. I called her while she was at the party and basically told her that the photo was slutty and that I hoped she was enjoying time at a party instead of being there for me. (I was at home alone, and I think I may have been having a panic attack or something)

But yeah, I can see why she would be angry with me.
