Is trade school any good? Which field is the easiest to learn, makes the most money, and quickest to get a full time job in?
I've been going to NOVA community college after high school for over 2 years now and I haven't done shit. Online classes are shit and I can't learn anything from most professors. Plus I started working part time at fast food almost a year back and its been slowing me down. Spent so much time just trying to figure out what to even get a degree in.
>Programming/Computer science
Couldn't learn shit, too confusing, too frustrating, solve one problem, get 5 more. I kept trying to just copy paste code which just made things harder
>Art
I do have experience with Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, and just drawing on paper. Started back in early high school. I like doing this sort of thing in my spare time, but problem is how the fuck do I make money with an art/design degree?
>General studies
Pretty much the quickest degree I can get but again wut do for monies?
At this rate I'm it will take a few more years to even finish general studies, and parents can't work forever. I'm just tired of throwing hundreds of dollars for nothing and want a decent job that pays well and can live off of once my parents leave this world.

carpentry is easy to get into
millwright makes most money of carpenters but is harder to get into and work isnt as steady
wireman (indoor electrician) is a valiant pursuit that pays even better.
unions will train you for free usually, just have to get in and that can be tricky.

The world will always need plumbers, carpenters, construction workers, bus drivers, truck drivers, barbers, mailmen, cops, firemen, auto mechanics, factory workers, etc etc etc

Machining.
Finding a place that teaches it well is tricky though. Lots of expensive equipment required.

What's does /adv/ think about boyfriends or girlfriends sitting on their partners laps, or is it something they could do with friends to for fun.
Is it cute, is it sexy/flirty behavior, is it innocent. Give some opionins

Bump to stay alive

in my experience it is only done by adults with children in their OWN family
and it is definitely a flirty/sexy thing to do with a partner.
But sitting on your friends lap is not innocent barring unforeseen circumstances that required it.

Why are you asking?

One of my co-workers may be flirting with me. She tends to linger when I'm working reception. She's quick to tell me she's divorced--I'm 28; she's 33. One time I asked why she wore a ring on her middle fingers. She may have baited me for a compliment about her appearance once, but I didn't respond because we work together and risking losing my job to flirt isn't a good move. She offered to buy me something from a convenience store in the building, and seemed a little disappointed when I said no.
Yesterday she started becoming a bit more friendly over email, going so far as to ask why I was formal when sending her messages when I addressed her as "Dear Full Name."
Most of the time I'd throw that away as her being friendly, but today she asked me to join her for lunch to explain a few joke job titles I'd given myself at previous places of employment. She seemed to find the stories amusing.
I'm not sure what to make of it. I think she's slightly into me, but she comes off as a gregarious woman. It's possible she's simply friendly. I also don't want to jeopardize my job because we work together a fair amount. If things turned awkward, it could be damaging to both of our livelihoods.
What does /adv/ think?

She's trying to get you fired for HR violation so she can refer one of her friends for a cash bonus.
Seriously are you this fucking dumb? Don't shit where you eat and do not underestimate women over 30 ESPECIALLY if she's divorced.
How do you have a job?

It's worth noting we work in different departments. They just happen to share receptionists, aka me.

So sure, the joke might have been uncalled for, but she responded to it so I don't think that's the problem. Also, we got along pretty well in person, and texted occasionally before this. Therefore, I'm not sure why she hasn't replied in almost a day after the last thing I said. Pls help me figure out where I went wrong and what I should say now. I know she's into me because she said yes to going out, but given her being in her home country, we couldn't go on a date. I am honestly stumped.

so, the other day my gf posted in her instagram story "why am i with? he doesn't know me, i don't know him. is it worth it?" we had a bit of an argument because she wouldn't let me help her with her depression, so she got mad at me.
Now, she doesn't really answer my calls nor my texts, but when she does, she acts as if nothing had happened.
I don't really know what to do or how to tell her that i dont want to be with her anymore, any tips?
pic related, it's basically her irl

What is worse, moving into a 3-bed with my boyfriend and a slightly sketchy dude to save money or moving into a 1-bed out of desperation to save twice as much money?
Been dating for exactly a year, since day one we have been alternating staying at his place and mine, it has actually gone pretty great although sometimes I want some me-time and was looking forward to having my own room to work in. Also, our families are not gonna like this.

whats wrong with having a 1 bedroom with your boyfriend? hwo is that in any way bad?

>>17996145
Not a bf/gf situation but one of my friends moved into a 1 bedroom apt for a year in college (bunk beds)
Things went okay until the other girl stopped going to class and was in the house all the time. My friend never got the house to herself. Ever.
Killed the friendship dead.

Hey /adv/, just wanted your thoughts and opinions if this sounds like a scam or pyramid scheme of some sort to you guys, and if it is one where should I go from here?
I got a text from one of my old high school buddies tonight for the first time since September, who I occasionally text with once every few months or so just to see if anything new is going on with each other and sometimes talk about what is new in gaming and other bullshit.
My buddy asked me how is it going etc. etc. and I asked the same thing back and he said good and we caught up with each other a little bit. Then he told me he has something that might interest me and he asked me if I am doing anything this Saturday.
I told him I might be free but I can't give him a guarantee as of right now. He then texted me that he has a business idea, I then asked what type of idea is it or what field is it in and all told me was that it is a "personal improvement" business, he then texted me that it would be easier to explain or show in person.
I then told him that I don't know if I have any interest in something like that, he then told me that it is "pretty cool" and if I change my mind on his idea that the "offer is always there", he then said that this has a lot of potential. I haven't replied since then and he has probably gone to bed since then as it is getting late.
What say you guys? I'm getting weird vibes from this and I am honestly a bit surprised my friend is telling me about this in the first place because he never really struck me as the type of person who could get involved in something kind of shady like this if it is a pyramid scheme or whatever. We were close friends in high school but don't get to hang out with each other much anymore, usually just a few times a year and I have known him since middle school. We are both in our early 20s.

Anyone showing up suddenly with business idead is scamming you, specially if said person haven't catch up with you for a while
If you're not familiar, keep an ear out for the expressions "multi level marketing" and "binary tree". They're the words of the week for pyramids
>>
>>17996105
If working for the company entails:
A: Purchasing a large volume of product in advance to sell to people
B: Primarily receiving profit from recruiting people underneath you
C: Both things
You can bet your butt it's a pyramid scheme
>>
no harm in listening to the guy if you're cautious now im sure red flags will be popping up all over the place.

never really had the balls to do it but am I in the right realistic track anon or this is too BS?
I could've done it probably if the friends she was with was gay but i wasn't sure.

dont fucking daydream. just walk up and say something. the first 20 times youll sound like an idiot. it doesnt matter. after 50 times youll be smooth. no amount of mental preparation will condition your brain not to be nervous. you need experience and failure
>>
>>17996092
I wasn't, that's the 2nd thing i thought of the moment she mentioned she was looking for a cancer, a really cringy pickup line.
the first thing i thought she was looking for a guy with cancerous behavior, it's kind of being a trend around here using that word and it's getting stupid each day.
I'm your typical r9k cunt trying to be a normal, I have unrealistic fantasies that's why i'm asking if that was normal or too good to be in actual use.

Funfact
The way the Zodiac works is dependent on where the sun rises at that time of the year. If the sun passes infront of the cancer constellation on the date of your birth then it means that you are a cancer.
That is the way it is supposed to work but since that system was made the earth has tilted so the months associated with each zodiac sign are no longer accurate.
Odds are you are actually the Gemini.

Not necessarily. I would probably immediately begin to withdraw and become more distant. If they want to continue working on things, then let them come to you. If not, it wasn't going anywhere anyway.

I didn't tell my last GF I loved her once for the whole nine months we dated.
I broke up with her, btw. She tried to get me to drop by for casual sex a few times, but I'm not really into that. Also kinda paranoid that she'll try something drastic like sabotaging the birth control so she'll get pregnant and I "have" to come back to her.
>>
>>17996080
I have to be honest, my ex said it to me WAY too early, and part of that led me to breaking up with her.
I said it back, and every time I said it, it rung completely hollow. It killed me every time I forced the words out of my lips, like I was cheating us both.
I might have said it or felt it later, I don't know, but I couldn't reconcile it without feeling like I was going to break her heart, so I cut it off.
Not sure if that helps.

Yesterday, I had this wonderful date with a girl. We didn't kiss but it was just really fun and there was a lot of teasing. And we were really close to each other all the time even though it's our first time meeting. Then when we were on the way home, she kept teasing me on why I'm so nice to her and whether I like her so I just pretended that I don't. Then when her stop was reaching, I whispered to her to make herself free on valentine's day. And she blushed and leaned her head on my shoulder and we held hands.
After she got home, she messages me asking whether I got home okay, why I like her and then she goes on to say she doesn't know whether she likes me in that way but it was the first time she had so much fun and she needs time to think. And then an hour later, she says she only likes me as a friend and she thinks she's not ready for a relationship yet since she has never had one before.
So, what was all that during the date. There really was something between us. Like I wasn't the only one who felt it. Then all of a sudden she apologizes and says she's not ready and she hope we can just be friends

it happens. she probably found soemone else, or just got scared or what have you. can happen for a thousand reasons. ive done it. it sucsk to hear but people are fickle
>>
>>17995972
what was your reason for doing it? like her message and the date was literally within hours of each other, so I don't think it's someone else
>>
>>17995988
sometimes we act like things are good on the date cuz itd be really awkward. girls sometimes feign interest because they are worried about angry or violent reacitons and as much as you may preach that you wouldn't do that, many guys will freak out and meltdown over rejections. so its easier just to play along until were not in sight anymore.
or it may have been exactly what she said: she had fun but doesn't really see you that way.

/adv/, I want your take on something regarding teacher degeneracy.
Despite getting a 72% on her speech, my 14 year old daughter was accused plagiarism this morning by her 38 year old teacher.
He highlighted words such as "slump" and "viewership" and wrote underneath, "not your words, girly".
I want your honest take here: does it strike you as unprofessional and creepy that a 38 year old teacher is calling his 14 year old student "girly"? Put yourself in my shoes.
What would you say to this manlet? What course of action would you take?

Its not that creepy people can use the word girly without being a pedo but he seems like hes a bit of a duche.
>>
>>17995912
"Slump in viewership" is something I can totally see a kid picking up from TV or whatever.
And yes, depending on context, "girly" probably isn't appropriate for a teacher to be calling kids.
>>
>>17995922
This. I think he's being more condescending than creepy.
There is a girl I really like in one of my classes and I had a tough time getting her to open up. She always is around the wrong guys.. The people who bother me.. So I had one class with her and me and her talked somewhat often but a lot of those guys were in that class. So I got a new class with her, gym, which she really has been hanging with me. I won't lie I've been in my feels. I was talking to her truly caring about every word she said. She told me something she said she's only told her best friend. So I am afraid I'll enter the friend zone I feel like I am at that fork of the road. I am not sure if she has a boyfriend or not so I need some help because I've had people outside of school (When we saw each other at the mall) say she looks like she likes me.. This only led me to overthink. What should I do?

Lately I have been enjoying sex much more, and masturbation much less. The only problem is that I am bad at keeping it casual. Anyway, I'm horny and no gf right now, and I *don't seem to enjoy masturbating anymore.*

You're a pathetic male who can't wait for the girl you will eventually marry to get your rocks off. So utterly thirsty for pussy that you hookup and get in fwb situations that ultimately leave you feeling more guilty and ashamed than when you simply wanted sex. Enjoy going to the doctor for std testing and condom breaking accidents. Fucking scum.

>>17995877
Try a different method?
I could never jerk myself off the "traditional" way.
I do it facedown, on the bed, with my cock pressed between the webs (well, that meaty bit of flesh between my thumb and index finger bones) of my thumbs. Dunno why that does it for me, but there you go.

I can't tell what your describing exactly, but there is this belly-down technique that puts a lot of weight on your dick, and this can cause physical problems.
but you are saying that you fuck your hand and the air missionary position, as if you had a sex doll? Maybe get some sort of pelvis shaped reciptical, so that you are safer from injury, plus it will feel better

Now that I'm in college, I've gone to a lot more parties.
While it's not too uncommon for me to find some sloot that's willing to make out with me, I've never gone home with any of them.
They're usually with friends who drag them away when they leave or I drink too much and lose them in the commotion.
How do I get to the point where I can ask if they want to leave?

Why force this?
If you're both into each other and you want it to happen then let it happen. If you're both satisfied with a make out session then so be it.
