I'm wondering if it is worth going to law school. I always hear of people majoring in STEM, and I couldn't imagine myself performing math daily. I like science, especially chemistry and biology, however I really love politics/government. I want to become a constitutional lawyer (any type of lawyer would do, but that is perferred) and eventually run for local office. The thing is, I don't know if a state law school is worth it (kansas), I really never hear of lawyers online (maybe an extremely busy job) and it seems everyone is going into stem, and I don't want to fuck over my life.
If I have too, I'll go into STEM (sciences), but I I really like the fields of law and government. Can someone help me out?
I'm a senior in HS btw.

First you have to get through undergraduate. You can major in anything and then go to law school.
If you aren't taking/have taken AP Calculus now then you're probably not cut out for Physics/Math/CompSci and are fooling yourself.
Also if you're a senior and haven't already applied to schools and applied for scholarships, you're a little late to the party. That makes your whole story smell a bit bad.

Its worth it, but if you're mediocre and don't plan on studying hard to be the best, don't bother.
For you to be successful as a lawyer you'll have to be better than your (numerous) competitors... So, learn a new language, -possibly a difficult and usefull one like chinese- network a lot and go on a lot of seminars as well.
You have to be the professors favorite also...
As you can see, its a very competitive career, so...

Did you go to a state College? We're you hired in a firm or did you create your own?
My GPA is a 3.7 at the moment and I have a 29 ACT score for those who could transform that into meaningfull advice.

I could probably write ten paragraphs explaining this situation but I know you guys don't want to read a wall of text, so:
>Parents divorce when I'm 5
>Dad is alcoholic. See him every other weekend but he just drinks while sister and I play alone
>Dad is sperg with OCD. Hardly talks. Good person, never violent, even when drunk.
>Although we get along well, rarely do things together
>Well paying job, gives us insane amounts of cash for birthdays and such, but refuses to pay for sister's school (she turned to prostitution) refused to give me a loan for a 6k surgery I needed (I'm paying off high interest loan now)
>I'm 28 now. Dad recently diagnosed with cancer
>Ask him if he needs anything, he never does
>Just finished intense chemo, immune system is gone
>he's staying with my 83 yo grandma. Every day she goes to his house to clean. She had knee replacement surgery a few years ago. I assume all this extra work is hard on her
>Dad rejects my offers to help, or if he accepts, he wants to do it at a time when I'm asleep
>I have horrible insomnia problems, the sleep pills I take at 12am and they knock me out till noon next day. I know it's inconvenient but its my life. Other people don't really understand
>Dad doesn't know about it. Never asks how I am.
>Finally get him to agree to let me help plant some plants on his property
>Was supposed to be today, he just called and said "I don't feel like it today, love you bye" without waiting for a response
I feel like such a shitty person for not really caring- but if he died tomorrow it would have no real impact on me. I wouldn't miss him; I don't see him enough to feel his absence. I don't even have fond memories of him. It would be a lie to say "I tried to get close". I haven't tried. My offers to help have been sincere, but when he says no I feel relieved because I didn't really want to help at all.
I just don't know how to feel. I don't know if I love him or hate him.

Love him or hate him he's still your dad. He doesn't sound like a bad person.
Most men find it incredibly difficult to accept help or admit they're struggling. If he's not letting you help, try to see if you can do something with him, even if its going for a walk or getting some coffee.
>>
>>17469940
my dad is a good person but he never made an effort to be with me.
you can push yourself and talk to him about it
you can let it go and forget about him
but you must decide first if you love him or not
when he dies. how will you feel? is there something you need to tell him?

>>17469940
You're feeling guilty.
If you weren't then you wouldn't be greentexting on a Korean knitting pattern exchange board.
You're deeply bothered about something. What is it?
I have agoraphobia, specifically fear of crowds. It manifests very badly in an office setting. So much so that I am simply not a productive worker due to nerves and panic attacks. Can't ask for special accommodations as I work in an at will state and they will fire me and get someone not jittery instead.
I'm on my third job his year, about to lose it the same way I lost the other. Very public panic attacks at my desk.
I am 24 with a tech degree and I can't find gainful work outside of an office, I can't work from home due to lack of experience, and I can't take a lower key job because of student loans.
I don't have health insurance and won't for a month or so so no doctors or psychiatrists. Not that I could even afford a copay.
I want to kill myself I can't break out of this cycle impoverished job seeking and panicked work. Some one tell me what to do.

I'm not sure why you think you can't talk about this with your employer if you're certain the inevitable result otherwise is to get fired because you're incapable of doing your work while you're freaking out.
Because of the ADA, any even remotely competent HR personnel are going to be at least a little hesitant to fire you for having agoraphobia. That doesn't mean they can't fire you for being shitty at your job, and that doesn't mean they have the capacity to accommodate you.
When you have a job that is not suitable for you, you should not stop looking for other employment that is more suitable.

>>17469960
Not at this job but I've seen a fellow employee ask for accommodations for anxiety issues and shortly thereafter they were let go for unproductive work and someone new was hired.

/adv/ this is my first time posting and I have a real problem.
I am 24, graduated from an American University (am from the USA) in 2015 with a degree I didn't want because I wasn't accepted into a nursing program. My mother has passed away and I basically have a pretty fucked up family.
I met this guy while traveling abroad in Holland and we fell in love. Skyping everyday for 8 hours and even sometimes more. When we weren't skyping we were texting. He proposed to me after 6 months and I was so happy, in love and couldn't wait to move to Holland with him. I thought learning and speaking a new language would be fun and cool, and since nursing is fairly easy to get into here I thought everything was going to fall into place.
The First week I moved here my fiance changed. He started becoming bossy and short tempered. Of course we still have good times but the bad times (fighting) are getting more frequent. I thought moving here was my destiny and would make me happy, but since I got here I've hated learning dutch, have absolutely 0 sex drive and feel so depressed I want to kill myself. I have a Bachelors Degree, must have sent out 20 applications and haven't been called once. This makes me feel worthless and stupid.
My fiance is a dentist, and they will not let him work in the US, he has to go through the training again which he definitely does not want to do. I tried to talk to him about going to the UK or Ireland but that conversation ended with him getting angry (again) and storming out of the room. He simply won't talk about it. 2 weeks ago we had a fight in which both of us got physical with each other.
I don't know what to do. I love him, but am very hurt he will not compromise by moving to an English speaking country. I feel he hid some of his qualities from me which I don't care for very much. I was depressed in the USA, I am depressed here too, what if I am too if I go back home. What should I do?

You looked to someone else to lift your depression. It didn't (and never will) work.
He should not have to move because you changed your mind.
Getting physical is a huge red flag as you know, and once you cross that line it's impossible to go back. I'd get out before I landed in the bottom of a river.
Also if you have AU money and are bitching about a degree, you're probably pretty spoiled already. There's a reason you didn't get accepted into a nursing program: you didn't try the 15 other schools in the area. What, Montgomery College wasn't good enough for you? I doubt you really were that disappointed and are just using that as another excuse for your life/depression.
Depression is a choice. The second you realize why you want to be sad (probably to get attention) you will stop.
Good luck. Glad you're not putting a needle in me though.
>>
What is AU money? I definitely didn't get any hand outs from any Universities. Nursing is competitive in the USA, especially the bachelor's of science program. I actually was accepted into a program at a private university out of high school but then my father had a heart attack and a stroke so it wasn't possible for me to afford that school anymore.

>>17469869
You made a really bad choice marrying someone in a foreign country that you had basically known only over Skype. What did you expect? Life isn't a fairy tale.

I'm terrible at having irl conversations and making friends with people.
It's not like I'm scared to talk to others, I just have no idea what to talk to them about.
I can do it just fine with my closest friends (I have only 3), but all we talk about is mostly anime and vidya (i. e. the few things I'm interested in), or just say some stupid shit for laugh.
I know you can live just fine with that amount of friends, but making connections is always useful
How do I improve myself, /adv/?

Same shit.
I go paralyzed in any social situation with strangers and when I do squeeze something out of my mind, it is usually dumb and embarrassing.
Don't know how to deal, I feel confident until the moment I need to actually say something.
>>
either you need to find people who share the same interests as you. Or you need to brush up on other topics. Maybe a starting point would be to learn how to ask people questions, people love talking about themselves. Learn to ask questions, problem solved.

I have a better experience with 4chan diagnoses than actual medical diagnoses so instead of paying outrageous money for someone to say "lol ur fine go home", I just go to /adv/ and get a diagnosis for free. It's worked for the few years and I'm still alive as of 6:30 this morning.

My ex sucked off one of (relatively-close) friends, but she only gave him a quick kiss on the lips. She kept it secretive and in the time that it took me to find out, she send me romantic song suggestions when I wasn't talking to her. What the actual FUCK does she want.

There's this girl I've been talking to. Texting it kind of odd. We can only really talk over the phone because I live an hour and a half away currently for college while she lives in my hometown. We met through a mutual friend.
We're still getting to know each other. I get tired of the conversations starting with a 'What's up?" or a "How's it going?". It feels fake and forced.
I'm used to talking to anyone else over text by just initiating a random topic.
Say you were the girl in this situation. Would it be so weird if he just texted you but instead of a generic "Hey, what's up?" it was something like
>"Did you hear about (Insert recent event) that happened?"
Bring up something from a previous conversation?
(She likes the outdoors/travel) Would it be weird to start a conversation with
>"What's a place you've always wanted to go to?" just out of the blue?
I just want to cut the shit right out and ask what I want to ask, talk about what I want to talk about. Is this a bad idea? Or is this really the norm and I'm just way too rusty for not having texted a girl seriously for the past two years?

Everyone likes travel. She's pretty shallow, I can tell.

As a guy I also dislike it when people ask me what's up. It shows me you want to talk but want me to give the topic.

So my sis has this ring and she loves the fuck out of it. She wants it dipped in rhodium so it will have a nice shine. However, it is mostly copper (at least we think) and is AAA cubic zirconia. Will getting it dipped ruin it in anyway?
P.S. there isn't exactly a jewelery board sorry

I'm suppose to show up for jury duty tomorrow. I reviewed the court's website just to double check things. I noticed I had my old address (literally JUST moved right after getting summons) so I updated it. Now my summons date doesn't appear and it says check back in 10 business days while the court reviews the update. So now what? I don't have to go tomorrow now?

No, you have to go.
They're referencing that the court needs 10 days to change your information in their database, for purposes of future summons and for accuracy in sending you the whole 2 cents you earn for being on a jury.
Your original date still stands. Go.

Dude you don't want to be held for contempt of court and possibly go to jail or pay a big fine. Straighten this thing out. Actually why haven't you been making phone calls and researching the entire day?

I work a lot and in the middle of moving. And I have been trying to make calls. Have you tried calling a superior court? Not exactly the easiest people to get a hold of besides getting some machine.
