Don't even college. You're not gonna get anything worthwhile out of it. Go do trade school if you can.

First pick if you want to do science, technology, engineering or math and then keep narrowing it down from there.

No one here can give you a definitive answer. Just find something you'll enjoy with a good job outlook.

the STEM job market is already getting glutted. it'll be even worse when you graduate. plus if STEM isn't your passion, you will NOT perform as well at your job as you would if it was one of your main interests. you can try to fake it but it will burn you out fast.

put those two factors together, and it means that there's a high likelihood you're gonna have a shitty office job even with a STEM degree. the relatively few good STEM jobs will be snapped up by the people who are genuinely enthusiastic about it or who are more motivated than you for whatever reason. everybody else will get the ok-but-not-great jobs or the straight up dilbert jobs.

if you still want to go the STEM route, aim for something in industrial design or some other kind of design. that way you can actually use your creativity.

this is something to consider.

one thing I will say as a creative person who has worked both factory and office jobs: even grueling factory work left me more energy on the weekends to pursue art than the office job did. even when tired, I could still sit/stand at my easel and paint. with office work I felt brain dead by the end of the week. also in the factory I could let my hands and part of my brain do the work while the other part of my brain was doing its thing. I'd keep a notebook and jot down ideas as I got them. in the office, I'd fuck up everything I touched if I didn't have my whole attention on it. I never really got the opportunity to do much creative thinking while in the office, and I think having to forcibly bend my brain like that affected my ability to be creative outside of work as well.

every artist I know has a day job. they're all either art professors/instructors or they do something that's either fulfilling to them in some way or that they at least like. one of them is a full-time cab driver. another one teaches yoga.

your mileage may vary. but it's something to think about.

I feel you bro I need to know too

>>17458125
bro we need to be strong but I still have hope and so should you

>>17458120
i dont really know how to explain it. i normally just speak my mind on something i have in common with the person i am talking with, i try to be comedic if something funny comes to mind, and interesting shit if it comes to mind. obviously dont say offensive shit, and what could be perceived as offensive is pretty much obvious.

Remove yourself from all their bank accounts
Make a new bank account they don't know about
Send your pay there
Hook up your bill payments to that account

Ignore all bills and send them to your parents
Possibly consult a lawyer if you've got money and ask them this question to see what your options are

>>17458078
I don't have a bank account. I'm a NEET.

Are you under 18?

Make a choice regarding kids before your ovaries dry up and shrivel!
Most women are unfulfilled if they don't do it.
It's not you, just your bioclock.

Otherwise, if you're not concerned, tell them to fuck off.

>>17458073
But I don't want to have children. And I said I never thought of my future, so how is having a kid a good idea in your mind?

I'm a 29 year old female and have zero interest in having kids or getting married. It's OK if you don't want those things in life. It's your life to live, not your parents' or your grandparents'

Don't have children just to please someone, it's cruel to the child.

I think you're just angry you're not a part of it.
I'm an adult and play with my adult friends. We have ton of fun and we hang out at places that used to be too empty to chill during the night before pokemon go.

You've got a case of the normies.

Yes, it is assholish. People have different hobbies, there is no need to "pity" anyone for however they want to spend their time.

It seem's like someone (you) might be feeling left out without realizing it.

>>17457977
Go to a doctor.

>>17457996
Now!

>>17457996
So let's say I'm in the middle of nowhere with the nearest doctor quite a ways away, I'm going home tommorow so is there maybe a short term fix?

>>17457914
You go to a group and chat.

Stop being a spaz its just idle chit chat.

>>17457917
What am I supposed to chat about?
I tried approaching a group once, but the things they were talking about were inane and uninteresting. Not to mention, one person even asked me why I approached them.

take whatever you want but think about the job you will work after it not just the course thats interesting.

Also make sure to check the "% that found jobs in this field after graduation"

>but I don't want to end up making a mistake
This is the risk you take when you major in basically anything STEM. STEM doesn't have the flexibility and versatility other areas of majors have.

>>17457922
% fuck that shit....
Are you a teenager addicted to quantitative results?

OP, he is right tho. You really have to think about what you want ? Find your talent. Being bad at a bunch of things may lead to you being the best in something else.

If you can drive a car and you feel like a god in any motorized vehicle.. become truck driver. Not just any driver but the best there is!

But don't care about numbers % and whatever quantitative shit!

There is guy that dropped off my uni before first year. Seems stupid as fuck at business at math. Two years later he runs a successful business with 10+ employees. This dude just radiates energy. Business everything involved just flows along with he blood. Statics says he has nearly 0 chance of success... not!

Obviously you have some annoying attribute that you are not aware of that is driving them away once they get to know you.

What is it? You should analyze how things go with them after they have helped you.

Women have this motherly feeling for me too, sometimes the way they defended me was scarry because i never thought they could be so fierce.
Idk why either but unlike you i always saw out relation as friendship.

>>17457875

because they see you as a child to be pitied rather than as a man to be admired.

Don't be a cuck

Social activity

Cum inside another one.

Stop it.

And if that doesn't help

Stop it or I'll bury you in a box.

>>17457858
Thanks. I wish i could turn off my anxiety. I feel like shit because of it. I'm going to make an appointment for a therapist Monday. I can't sleep good anymore. I wake up so many times

>>17457850
Think about the worst case scenario happening, you get sick, big deal you'll live.

You will be fine anon, go and do something fun.

>>17457846
pfffffffff just look at yourself and think about it. happy couples don't think >Is costs me a lot of time and effort to see her once a week but although she is not saying it, it seems like she does not appreciate that.

your relationship is done.

>>17457859
I mean to say that I am happy to do that for her/us. I want to be with her all time I can but it's just not that easy when you are separated by 200km

You guys are probably drifting apart. It might be time to take the relationship behind the barn at this point.

I felt like that at the end of last summer/start of fall, I was depressed for a while and didnt get help.

Gf of 9.5 years dumped me and it was I rose out the ashes

Do you need the fire? Or can you see the writing on the wall. Dont do it for her but think about how you will keep on living this way. Go talk to a mental health professional about this desu senpai

Sounds like depression, you know that condition 90 percent of anons suffer from.

Dump the girl first, keep your power.
start looking for a new job.

No one is going to help you anon, don't fall down, just cut all the bullshit holding you back before it fucks up your life.

>>17457833
You have depression. Exercise, eat better, maybe see a doctor. Talk to your girlfriend about it.

>jobless right now
Are you jobless because you feel bad, or do you feel bad because you're jobless?

>>17457828
>they blame me for fucking with their wine
>how do i fuck up their wine.

You sound like a tool bro.

Add vinegar to their wine. It will turn sour and they will just think the batch failed.

>>17457880
Since I'm getting blamed I might aswell get my credit for it. Thanks for the tip

sounds like a bad plan that will escalate the situation,
retaliation gets you fucked over.

run.

>>17457792
Okay thanks.

It just feels awful knowing he's like this. She's stabbed him before because they're crazy and fuck. And she's an animal hoarder. They always literally smell like shit.

He's gonna die living this way and I again don't know what to do.

>>17457778
>drop the loser girl.
your bro is a loser too
