How do people afford to live in major cities without college or trade school?

They work all the jobs that don't require schooling, and they probably don't live by themselves.

>>17944931

downsizing. its kind of liek living in college. you cant afford to live on your own, so you dont. you bundle up two to a room. even people with reasonable jobs have to share their apartments.

i live in hollywood. my old boss worked in west hollywood. one time i was at his apartment, and it was insanely tiny compared to mine, but twice as expensive. and it wasn't even fancier, same materials, his bathroom was even worse than mind. btu he paid twice as much. just for the location. both of us lived right off the blvd, he was just further west.

point im trying to make is everyone makes some sort of sacrificde to live here.

i shared atwo bedroom apartment in hollywood, it cost 1500 a month. i paid 750 for my share, sublet my second room.

now however the prices have gone up so much that i only pay 400 bucks a month for rent, and sublet my spare room for 1100.

its nice.

>>17944931
Almost every job pays enough. Obviously you won't make enough live in a nice loft looking down at the skyline while jerking off but only a minority can do that either way.

I grew up with 9 brothers and sisters

You didn't get to experience that /r9k/

This is to you 2 or 3 child families, but especially to you only child families:

>ywn know what it's like to share a bed with two older brothers, feeling a sense of security at such a young age

>ywn know the excitement of getting a "three story" bunk bed and getting to sleep on the middle bunk

This isn't /r9k/, you retard. The fact that your life is so sad that you have to brag about having siblings to a bunch of losers on /r9k/ is pretty sad though. Considering suicide?

I can rhyme forever while carrying on a conversation
Are there any careers for someone in such a situation?
With the will to strive and face to contrive
An obvious feel in those pants filled with voluptuous veal
Is there not a seal to this deal known as life come real?
Existentialist terror lost in the sand of lyrical pleasure
Please free me from this timeless glee of being a rhyming little smartie
I can't wait to have a little money to buy some drugs and feel smug
Over the little swarms of people who have always been unequal
Down in the alleys and through the gutters, I give you a fact:
I wrote this not as an act, without praise, and within a timely grace
Give me your best advice, I'm tired of eating rice

Do you mind if i spare some time
and give you some advice, with glass of wine.
For a prophet i see with an incredible lyrical ability
for there are many words i see that i cannot comprehend mentally.
for each phrase that you wrote on the page, to google i took to my aid
for each word kinda broke my mental state.
what i mean to say, is that you're good at this word thing, and maybe some positivity you could bring.
In a world where a orange man, is on his way to become a figure of shame, there are people like you, who others listen to, that put faith in humanity again.
Try your best on your great quest, and find your destiny, as i do the same.

Has anyone been to prison for an extended period of time? I'm running out of options with my life.
Killing myself is not an option because I'm a christfag.
I can't join a monastery because I'm divorced
I can't join the military because I already did 10 years and was forced out because I didn't get promoted in time so I can't go back in.
I can't hold down a job, I can't survive off of my disability pay alone...
I was thinking about robbing a bank and just waiting around until the cops come and peacefully surrender without anyone getting hurt.
Prison gives you a lot of time to sit and think and is a very structured environment. You get 3 square meals a day, a warm bed, and medical care as needed.
I'm half black, half white and act and talk like a stereotypical white guy. My only concerns are that I don't want to join a gang and I'm afraid I there won't be any Eastern Orthodox clergy wherever I end up.

>killing myself is not an option cuz im a christfag

but christ forgives all sins as long as you ask for forgiveness as you die. jsut admit you dont want to kill yourself

>i cant join a monastery because im divorced

actually you can if your marriage is nullified and proving yourself to be a true christfag will make any priest nullify it.

>cant join military cuz already did

yo uare allowed to re enter the military at entry level and can actually join different branches so lon gas you dont have a tattoo in the wrong spot

>i cant holddown a job

maybe work on trying to hold down a job then.

>prison
>structured enviornment

if by structured you mean the exact same thing every single fucking day, yes, it is the exact same thing every fucking day. but structured tends to also refer to wholesome and prison is not wholesome. therei s nothing structured about wondering if today is the day you get gangraped.

>3 square meals a day

also false. prison meals lack nutrition and are shitty as fuck, cheapest meals possible

>a warm bed

false, it is a cold bed, a very uncomfortable one, and often infested with bed bugs or other issues.

>a lot of time to sit and think

nope. you'll have plenty of time to work and plenty of time to fearfully sit in a corner wondering what the fuck is going to happen next, and plenty of time to listen to the never ending yells of all the real prisoners. but not time to think.

just keep applying, then do your job. its that easy. way easier than prison. just because something is forced up your ass doesn't mean its easy to take it.

So, due to sudden life changes, I'm moving to Las Vegas. I have about 1k from my last paycheck from my job. Is it possible to find a reasonably priced studio apartment under $500/mo. over there?

Long story short: I lost an opportunity for a lifelong caree, have a severely strained relationship with my GF I've been with for 10 years that I'm about to end and I hate my job. I need a fresh start, finding a job is not the hard part, just a cheap and affordable living quarter.

Ask her if you can grab her by the------I mean grab a cup of coffee with her before or after work. Don't take her to the gas station for the 99 cent cup. Spread you cheeks and get the Star fish Bucks $5-6 a cup fucking.

I met her online, she just wanted a fuck buddy and I agreed. We've been talking for about a month now and she talks of how awful he is, how he only spends time with her when he has no one to be around or do things with. They're polygamous but I've always been monogamous. It seems like she wants to leave him but then she says stuff like "oh I can't", "I couldn't". I just don't want to get hurt again but I'm already so head over heals for this woman. Somebody please just tell me what the fuck to do, I don't know who to ask. thanks in advance for any replies. you all hold worth in this world, don't ever forget that.

she understands me so well

hi adv. I'm a senior (18+ no ban.) in HS and the girl I had been crushing on for months said she was into me too when I asked her out before winter break. She took the title of girlfriend, we skyped during my vacation, cuddled and held hands, sexted, went and saw movies throughout the break. But the moment break was over - the day that it ended, actually, she told me we had to be nothing but friends, she regretted everything, and quote verbatim "you're never going to be boyfriend material so please keep your distance." I'm crushed and totally lost. She told me I didn't do anything wrong. what's your takeaway?

You got used for emotional attention. There are aspects of yourself that makes no not attractive, that she does not want to directly address because you're not worth the time. Just evaluate this situation and learn from it. It is Through failure that you will find success.
>>
>>17944835
Don't know how badly you're invested in to her at this point, but it were me, I'd just turn my head and never look back.

If she never come back or talks to you again, you don't have to worry about it ever again

If she does come back crawling, thats a whole other case.
>>
The thing with the "not boyfriend material comment is a pretty big hint at something

Do you have ambition? A job? Self worth? Discipline? Drug habits? Party too much? Too much of a sexual past?

Unless she is a pretty big bitch, I am guessing it is something along those lines that you aren't seeing because at one point she did think you were boyfriend material

How badly did I get BTFO'd and what should I do? I felt really insulted that my boss, the boss of the entire company's branch, would single me out like that, especially since I try and be a nice person and work hard to prove myself. Am I just being too sensitive /adv/?

> during winter break I ask her if she was scared of me leaving her
> She says she was and explained the whole thing between us freaked her out. She says it was too perfect and she didn’t want to get caught up in it. She told me she originally thought it would work out (even when I initially thought it was a onetime thing) She also said she doesn’t trust herself (Assuming she means staying monogamous) and she knows that she’ll have to take this seriously
> Keep talking for the night, she says we will talk about this in person sometime
> Agree to meet tomorrow night

Hmm. I don't think anyone should be "convinced" into a relationship. Plus she said she's prone to cheating. From far out it seems like it's not worth it. Too much stalling, conversation, overly dramatized past... A good relationship should be smooth imo
>>
>>17944791
That's something I considered. I asked some people I know and some said it seemed weird and others said that it's not so weird (the convincing part). As for the cheating thing, I don't think she's ever cheated. She was cheated on and it kinda messed her up in terms of relationships. I know I'm probably not making this sound like a good idea at all based on the info I'm dishing out but I'm trying to keep it short for people to keep up with
>>
>>17944781

I wouldn't pursue anything with her at least not until later in life when you have both experienced all that you want and both happen to be single. She was kind enough to wave the MASSIVE red flag to you and respected you enough to not get into something serious with you knowing she doesn't trust herself. So respect what she said and leave it alone.

She sounds like she really likes who you are and could see a future with you but the timing is just way off, she wants to be single or date around and experience other people before she settles down with someone.

sup /adv/,

if i went to a nightclub by myself. how would i talk to a group of girls without them ignoring me / laughing at me / getting their male friends? how do i banter and be interesting?

how would i dance with a grill?
do i need to worry about standing in line by myself like a loser? or not being let in for being alone?

>>17944748

If you truly want to go out alone the key is to not act like you're alone, try to introduce yourself to a few people, even dudes early on in the night that way if you see them later in the night you can greet them again and to everyone else it will look like they are you friends.

People split up at nightclubs all of the time, so if you walk up to a girl I don't think anyone would immediately suspect you came out alone and are creepy or something like that. If they ask where your friends are just say they went to a different club, or on the dance floor or something like that.

And lastly, it's a pretty poor place to go alone, music is generally too loud to talk to anyone so your best bet is just getting sufficiently drunk enough and trying to dance with girls that are as tanked as you are.
>>
>>17944748
>>17944782
This. Don't really know why you'd ever want to go to a club alone, but to each their own. Meet up and chat up people around you, if you have the pocket money for it, go to the bar first, and see if anyone's interested. Once you get in the club, there isn't much talking happening over blaring trap and edm.

Have you ever talked to her before at all? You might want to break the ice before just asking her out cold turkey. Do you get to choose where you sit in your class? You could try sitting next to her if possible and try striking up a conversation and asking her to coffee or something.

>>17944720
I can't sit with her and haven't talked yet so I'll try to break the ice but it'll be difficult

Easiest way to starting conversation is by asking her a question on her opinion on something.

Hi /adv/

I graduated a 4-year BSN nursing program back in August. Passed my license test, interviewed in September, and was offered a position as a new graduate in local Emergency room (volunteered there for 6months). Here's my problem:

I was set to start on January 23rd, and just today i got a call from HR telling me my employment is "no longer needed". Basically im getting shafted after waiting almost 4 months since my interview for this job. I have done all per-employment duties ( drug test, physicals, paperwork signing, modules, e.t.c.) and now they're shafting. I'm pissed as fucking hell .

I'm already looking at other positions because now im in a dire place. This job meant paying rent and staying in the city. It's all so sudden.

Should I bother emailing the ER director that interviewed me? they didnt even give a reason as to my termination. /adv/ im shaking just typing all this.
