As the subject says. I've been contemplating a degree in economics, what I wanted to know is it worth it?
curious as well, although this might've been better asked somewhere else like /biz/

>As the subject says. I've been contemplating a degree in economics, what I wanted to know is it worth it?
1) this should definitely be in /biz/ or better yet /adv/
2) You need to outline your desires and interests more clearly. It is worth it for some and not for others for a huge amount of reasons. Whoever is going to give you a solid answer needs context.

Dads gfs son just finished his PhD in econ and landed some very high paying job
Over about a month and a half of this past summer, me and a friend from college that I had known for about 9 months prior started becoming romantically involved. About three weeks into whatever-the-fuck-you-want-to-call-it-anymore, she started to sexually pushing me. The softest way I can (and for my own sake will) put is that she sexually coerced me into doing things to her body that I was not comfortable with doing yet.
After a few more weeks of this, I decided to break things off but didn't have the heart to tell her the biggest reason why. I also believed that I would be too busy with my own academic work once the year of college started again, and I was also dealing with self-harm issues at the time that I needed to sort out (and since she dealt with similar mental illness, that environment would not be healthy). She was of course heartbroken...
...and here we are three months later, her entire friend group and herself both blocking me on all social media and taking alternate routes to classes so they don't even have to look at me (which it's a small campus, so it's fairly common). She told her friend group that I had sexually pushed her (which is a bit narcissistic now that I look at it) and this, of course, has left me angry.
So, /adv/, how do I either A) contact any one of them about the situation to try to resolve things while keeping my cool, or B) cope with this and let it be so it's not on my mind all the god damn time.
B
It won't do you any good to pursue A. All of you involved will simply be more hurt.

...so how should I do that.
>keep dreaming that I'm trying to cheat on my long distance gf
Does it mean anything?
No, just don't do it.
I don't know. Do you want to cheat on your LD gf?
>>17679582
it means you subconsciously want to.
but everyone WANTS to cheat. if there was no consequences we'd do it.
>cute girl always sits next to me in class
>check each other out
>seems really nice and sociable
How do I talk to her? Before the exam we took today I was about to ask her how studying went but I got nervous and didn't say anything. She's a little intimidating.
I'm scared of rejection and I've been rejected by almost every girl I have ever come on to (and rejected every girl that has come on to me out of anger at that fact). I just want a normal life with healthy friendships and sex.
I feel like I'm not good enough because I don't really have a passion and am 99% sure I'm depressed and anxious so I use weed and liquor as a crutch.

Can anyone help me?

>>17679629
thanks, got more?
Okay so anyway, where should I start. I was a neet for two years. I then decided to change my life around. i moved to the big city. I started going to a technical college (dropped out later). Well after searching for a job I found one in July as a prep cook at a restaurant. When I started this pretty girl who works as a dishwasher introduced herself . After that I would joke and greet her All the time. Lets add some details she's around my age very quiet, timid and reserved and she has a sister who works at the same restaurant. Well after asking her sister if she was single she said yes, She told me she never had a bf before. So I made my move on her got dressed up and bought her flowers I asked her out. She said no she can't because of her work schedule. She works a second job. I got mad at her and ignored her for a while. I got so guilty I apologized on the 17th of Oct. She acted confused and was smiling she told me I wasn't being rude. well yesterday she quit that job. I asked a female coworker for her phone number she gave me her phone number. I texted her last night she was very upset at me telling me where I got her phone number. Well what do I do now /adv/? Does she even like me? What are her intentions with me? Was she just teasing me? Should I text her back?
>can't take a hint
She doesn't like you and never did. She was being friendly to a coworker (you), it's called common courtesy. If a girl wants you to contact her she'll give you her number.
Never contact that chick again and start over.
>does she even like me
>>17679499
No, she's not teasing you, she's rightfully creeped out by your slimy privacy-invading stalker bullshit.
No, you should not text her. No, she does not like you. Leave her the fuck alone.
I feel like being an asshole to my gf time to time, but I absolutely have no reason to be, nor is any of it ever sincere. I don't get what drives me to do the things I do. I love her and my actions are a-okay, but I'll always have the urge to mess with her, even with issues she's sensitive about.
Examples:
>Cook dinner for both of us, make it all fancy, but then toss on the table dismissively and wander off
>She'll sometimes ask me who I'm texting; it's pretty much always my friends, but I'll put on an act to be shady and suspicious, pretending I'm texting one of my ex's, by being super vague and shit
>Sometimes just give her the cold shoulder in public, pretend to be in a sour mood
>Give many sarcastic answers to her questions
I don't get it. She's the only gf I've ever had the urge to be dickish to. It's not as if I mean any of it, and I've expressed this to her. She understands that I do genuinely care for her via my actions, but the act is annoying.
What do?
She also is the longest term relationship I've had at 2 years. Most others of mine are year/year and a half
>>17679479
There's nothing wrong with you, people do this all the time. This is why close friends insult each other for fun and poke at each other, there's something in our genes to do this as a means of "testing" a relationship with someone and strengthen it.
There's a point when you'll find the limit and realize how far you can push the relationship, people usually only have an urge to do this with the those very close to them.
It's either that or you don't actually love her that much anymore and your subconscious mind is forcing you to be an asshole and break up with her.
>>17679479
Ack my bf does some of that crap.
Mostly the act dickish/distant in public. I am his first real long term relationship and he hates his mom and always kind of disliked women. Sometimes when we are out together he walks way far ahead or some dumb thing like that.
It drives me soooo nuts but I see he is acting like a temper teen
>>17679479
Check your privilege you sexist pig.
What's the best way to hang flags on your wall?

In the trash.
In all seriousness maybe from the ceiling?
Fuck the flags, hang yourself
I don't think there is a "best way". You just hang them.
I need some advice pertaining to renting a house in Florida.
>Me and 2 others moved into a house, 3 bed 1 bath. One of the others, call him Eric; Eric invites people over constantly and they sleep here constantly. I am starting to get fed up with people coming over and sleeping here. I did try to take initiative and tell him to atleast have less people sleep here. That worked for a bit, but the problem is starting again.
Now Eric has his friends pushing him on to let them stay here. They only spend about 2-3 nights a week here but while here they use water and electricity and eat what is here. I'm kinda poor so it does kinda matter to me about what they use because they never give us a penny back.
Now I am looking over the lease to see if it would say anything about having people over and letting them sleep here.
>Let me be clear it is not the same people every time. one day it could be 2 guys and the next 2 different guys. But its the fact that it happens more than I like.
I need clarification on this part of the lease just incase, and this is directly from the lease.
>10. USE OF PREMISES: TENANT must maintain the premises in a clean and sanitary condition and not disturb surrounding residents or the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the premises or surrounding premises. Premises are to be used and occupied by the TENANT for only residential, non-business, private housing purposes only. TENANT shall not operate any type of day care or child sitting service on the premises.

I just want to know if this states that people that are not tenants can sleep here.
pic unrelated, please help me and dont troll I really am sick of this.
Come on guys I really need help here
Tell Eric that he can't have people living there that aren't on the lease, and you will inform the landlord if it doesn't stop.
Then inform the landlord if it doesn't stop.
>>17679505
You can't use the contract against him you doofus
Just let him know you're a bit tight for money at the moment and don't think it's fair you're paying for his friends to stay over (if that's what's bothering you the most). Work out the average cost per day of the bills, then split it 34:66 everytime he has people over
If it's the fact you don't want strangers there, then just tell him that. Probably unreasonable to make out this means no one at all, but at least try keeping it to days when he's just out partying etc
My original plan was to get a military commission finishing an easy degree in college, but I recently found out I have a medical condition I can't get a waiver for. I'm currently at a loss on what I actually want to study. Does anyone know of a good assessment test I could take.
A good start is to do what you were good at in school.
Also see an academic adviser if your school has one.
That sucks mate!:(
The IT field is one that always has work but is rather boring
>>17679416
Assessment tests are pretty crap.
You're better off figuring it out yourself. Consider holding off further college until you do.
/adv/ how do I stop being a /r9k/-tier autist?
go to /fit/ and start being a /fraud/ and dont go to the general feels threads.
>>17679420
But then I will be like those /fit/ guys who are swole but don't leave their houses
The only way is to expose yourself to constant and repeated social interaction with non-autists. It will be painful and humiliating as you unlearn certain behaviors, but that is the price you must pay.
have a problem. i dont know who else to go for advice for, so a while back, i met this girl at work and kind of liked her, so i straight up told her i did...
>nb4 we work together...
the next time i saw her i asked for her number she had said no...
but now it seems like she likes me back, doing shit a typical woman that likes you will do, like look at me every time i walk by and now shes actually coming up to me to talk to me.
Im not sure what to do at this point, ive already been rejected one by her, i dont want to ask her again but that seems to be the only logical option, but what and how should i handle this situation?
anybody want to help me out??
>>17679394
>it seems like she likes me back
You're cute when you're delusional
>>17679450
thanks anon, that helped me out real well
I broke up with my girlfriend, first love.
things have gotten pretty bad past week. I became clingy and kept calling her and threatening to come to Sweden.
she promised me if I leave her until march, we can go back to talking and even being friends. and I am hoping even more.
should I just give it time? I feel like calling her now. but I have caused her too much pain and last night she broke down in tears.
Leave her alone, clinging to her is only making it worse for yourself remember that. Realise there are lots of other girls out there and "first love" will eventually mean little to you. It might feel like absolute shit now but the best thing you can do is cut contact with her and do not cling to her anymore. Trust me when I say you will want to talk to her and keep tabs but avoid any of that shit and focus on yourself and your own hobbies. Don't consider getting back together as an option because getting back together never fucking works as the same problems arise over and over and you'll feel even more shit. Also just once more to clarify, cut fucking contact with her, you're not waiting for her and her friendship, forget about her and move on, there's other people and possible relationships out there that you're wasting by trying to salvage this. Give yourself the time you need and move on. Good luck anon

she came to see me allot over the course of two years.
one month ago she came to see me. she spent £800 pounds when we were only supposed spend £250 each
it was working just fine.
Hey guys. Another dating question coming through, need some femanon advice here.
So there's this girl in my class, I see her every other day and each time I ask her to come to lunch with me and off her a ride home (she has to call her brother for a ride and she waits in the parking lot. Each time I wait with her in the Georgia heat and sometimes it takes an hour or so for her brother to get there) and she always says no.
This has been going on since August, and the class is almost over. I don't want to be "that guy" but I do like her, and I don't know whether to come out with it or not. I've had a girlfriend before when I was in highschool, but this one is different and I really don't want to fuck it up. Should I just stop asking her because she's not interested or should I ask her to dinner and a movie or something because maybe she's not getting it?
Pic related is me, I've never uploaded a picture of myself online and I sure as fuck never thought I would on the chins of all places, I need some femanons or even gay guys to tell me what you think?
P.s. I'm 6'2"and she's like 4'6" do you think I might be intimidating her?
>>17679338
Hi there, as a female I can tell you that based on the picture you're perfectly fine in the looks department. I'd do it, if she says yes awesome and if no then you just have to move on.
>>17679338
>she's like 4'6"
Either you're shit at gauging heights, or she's a literal midget
>>17679491
Thank you, I see her on friday, ill ask her out to dinner then.
>>17679495
Probably me, she comes up to about the bottom of my chest. I don't know about how high that would be but I know she's short.
I fucking hate people man. After awhile you start to synch up with people, I fucking hate this man why can't I be my own person. Eventually you start pinging off of each other. Fuuuuuck
>>17679335
>, I fucking hate this man why can't I be my own person
no one is there own person. we're all a reflection of our enviroment. if you want to go deeper, free will doesent even exist.
