Unless you want to max out at like $55K as an industry lab tech, you're not going much of anywhere with a BS alone.

Have you considered just continuing on to the MS and picking up some more career experience along the way?

>>17001436

Your GPA is fine, you could get some lab job if your school isn't shit.

With that said "do what you want" considering your ass is covered, though keep in mind that if you don't have a shitload of money sitting around, you will want more one day.

As far as being a ranger - if you can meet standards, yea, that's an option. So is USAF Pararescue or Green Beret medical sergeant.

You really won't get any more help here. You need to find out more about each specific thing.

If you get an MBA now, your supervisory experience won't go to shit. Or you can consider med school.

>Have you considered just continuing on to the MS and picking up some more career experience along the way?
Pretty tired of sitting in class all day, I need a little more excitement. I'm not tired of learning, I'm just tired of how I'm doing it, if that makes sense. I can deal with classroom stuff but I guess I need to balance it with some more hands on stuff.

Currently scoring around a 250 on the APFT but that's getting better every month. Pararescue is definitely another interest, but the pipeline is probably the most difficult out of all SOF pipelines and failure bumps you back to some pogue ass job for 4 years which would be shitty. It's why I'm looking more at going out for Ranger. Plus being medical support to one of the greatest light infantry groups in the world would be fuckin rad.

My uni is a top 20 business school, getting an MBA requires getting into that college and another couple years of school. I'm not really looking to rack up more degrees at this point. And an MBA wouldn't be my first choice.

The only that makes a someone less masculine is obsessing over what is or isn't masculine.

Manhood and masculinity are subjective. If he's going by the traditional definitions of these term the most manly thing he could do is whatever the fuck he wants and not letting the judgment of others dictate his actions.

>>17001315
it doesnt make him less masculine it breaks his spirit.
as most people will see you give but they will take what ever they need from you whether it be time money or both. i am not saying you shouldnt do good things for other people but your happiness is important too. and do what makes you happy

Your employer should know that accusations like this are baseless and will most likely move on.

Deny, deny, deny.

>>17001268
Talk to your boss and laugh about it. Then show him the nudes.

>>17001283
Why would they know that?
That's not the kind of accusation people tend to make anonymously and randomly.

Had a similar situation with my ex, OP.

There's only one way to do it, just be upfront and respectful. Next time you're alone with her (at home) throw her the : "Can I ask you something, and this might sound weird" and tell her that you've noticed some personal hygiene issue. Try phrasing it gently like "would you maybe consider hair removal in certain area's", maybe call it "distracting" during sex rather than gross or disgusting.

It might also help if you find (or invent) something about your own personal hygiene which you have or used to have or plan to work on to make her feel less awkward about it.

In any case, you're just going to have to bite the bullet on this one. Chances are though, that if she's a cool girl, she won't be offended or depressed, just embarassed, which isn't the end of the world

>>17001765
>maybe call it "distracting" during sex
That's probably the best approach, but women are so self conscious that even that will probably leave her butthurt.

>>17001264
That's fucking hot tho.

Quit being such a little bitch.

University was tough, at least, the first semesters I attended. I was temporarily removed from campus by counselor fears of me being suicidal, though I believe it was just a very overwhelming transitional period. I was beginning to do better. Unfortunately I was 1.2 points in Physics short of maintaining my scholarship, so it was suspended for a semester. The proceeding events had left me a mess to date.

My parents, who I may have had reasons to dislike, but none to distrust, offered to pay for mys suspended semester. I went, and did fine enough to get my scholarship reinstated. Unfortunately, they never actually paid. They let the debt go in my name and let it be, not informing me until I attempted to register for the next semester and was shown to owe over $8,000 in debt. Not being able to go the next semester permanently forfeit my financial aid, and I discovered that my credit had been negatively affected from an unrelated loan taken out in my name by my parents.

I've since been out of school 18 months. I cannot afford it, though I'm hoping such will be different if I can land a job I'm applying for to replace my current one. I have no friends that aren't online and of varying availability, no loved ones aside form an ex who I've since gone fully no-contact with, and a family that I cannot trust but currently must depend on.

I'm afraid to try new things. I don't know why fully, but it's as if whenever I'm under the roof of this place, I'm immediately in a sour, melancholy mood. Nothing seems to help it. I cannot afford to move out with my current job (though if I land the one I applied for, I will be able to move out and return to school). I've been trying to get into the same two things since I started university (Drawing and music production) but always only maintain effort for around a week before forfeiting to the idea of never truly being cared about for it.

I believe I'm afraid to start things that take any considerable amount of time because I fear thinking about a passage of time so long and its inevitable march toward my likely unremarkable death. I wish I could believe in at least something, or care about something enough to not worry, but I can't.

I know thinking about dying happens from time to time, but it's literally an all-consuming thought for me. I can't enjoy anything, or even try to meet new people without fearing the inevitable loss, the inevitable nothingness. I get that anti-straw men can thrive under such a mindset, but I can't bring myself to do anything but feel miserable and hopeless over any ambitions that well up within me, and I just want to stop everything. I haven't progressed as a person in years.

I wasn't going to read your thread (and I didn't), but this caught my eye:

>I believe I'm afraid to start things that take any considerable amount of time because I fear thinking about a passage of time so long and its inevitable march toward my likely unremarkable death. I wish I could believe in at least something, or care about something enough to not worry, but I can't.

Basically everything in life is risk. That is risk is giving up time for questionable gain. You can try or you can do nothing. But nothing is a choice too. The argument for nothing is marginal enjoyment, but let's be honest, you aren't enjoying that shit, are you?

Bump

In all relationships the lovey dovey feeling goes away. Congrats you are no longer in the honeymoon phase, and probably experiencing "grass is green on the other side".

>>17001344
I had a relationship before and the "honeymoon phase" must have lasted 3 years then as I have not experienced this before.

The grass is greener is not true as I believe I can see differences between humans. Not every human is equal.

*buy what I want

>>17001228
You sound like a danger to yourself and most importantly others. I would suggest you check yourself into a mental hospital.

It doesn't sound ridiculous at all. In matter of fact, it would be good for mankind in general if this sort of modest mindstate was more common. We've far too many people pursuing shallow, self-centered goals consuming the planet.

You know, it's not a far-fetched idea to want to live by yourself. If you can manage it, you should strive for independence. Work any menial job long enough to save some money and do just that, move out into the woods. What else would you be doing, anyway?

>>17001208

what is mmj?

MMJ = Medical Marijuana

>>17001217

this is probably better asked to a doctor or something, but as far as i know medical marijuana doesnt have many if any negative side effects. its actually generally prescribed for chemo. i know he has failing organs but at the very least he should be fine to vape it if not smoke it or eat it.

i think its kinda beautiful, someone ditching drugs, then returning to them to enjoy whats left before death

>>17001143
Get everything in order.

I saw it coming. I lied to myself. I was unhappy.

We had a joint account. She cheated on me, kicked me out and moved all the money into her account.

We also had a kid and a house.

I moved cross-country and started life over again.

Best decision ever. In fact, I'm glad I got married at a young age so I could get divorced. Puts shit into perspective.

>>17001160
What happened to your kid? Leaving her hardly bothers me but I can't stand the idea of someone else raising my boy.

>>17001173
She kicked me out and left me with nothing and had her deadbeat boyfriend with a DUI move in.

I see him over Skype.

C'est la vie.

Oh, and yeah we fucked.
That's where I'm certain I goofed, if at all.

>>17001140
Are you really that dumb?

All he wanted to do was to bang. I mean, I can see it in your own wording of the situation.

Or this is just bait.

>got a date with my ex

just bee urself

>>17001106
perfectly describes me (minus school) not to mention all the backstabbing supposed friends have done to me but thats whatever

also cant give you advice either but know your not alone in your thought processes

It takes practice to be able to talk to people and connect with them. Normally we are conditioned since infancy to do this, but some people get out of sync with people for a period of time and lose the ability. Which makes it difficult when you want to make friends later on.

I suggest going to your school psychologist and speaking with them. They will help you make progress in being able to connect with people.

are you sunni, or shiite muslim?

how do I earn a shy girls trust?

met her online, had a first date last week.
She doesnt say much on her own, doesnt ask me much aswell and has problems with eye contact. But she gives me enough signs that she likes me. She is 19 and im mid twenties.

problem is, i was like her at that age and im not terrifically outgoing myself.

my plan is: keep making her laught salted with some light compliments and maybe get more touchy. Second date will be a movie so i will try to hold her hand :)

>>17001129
Remember you only been dating for 1 week, so it's very new for her and she might already had to push some of her limits - Don't rush her, it will come.

Hang out with my friends and do shit to keep myself occupied until the sense of sorrow goes away.

>>17001064
You realize you're a giant faggot like that guy is.

>>17001128

You realize you need to be 18 or older to post here.

It can be a pretty strenuous activity depending on how you do it. Endurance is very helpful

>>17001004
Dude I'm pretty in shape and I'm always sweating buckets during sex, I can't imagine a fat ass fucking a girl, poor girl is gonna be drenched in your greasy sweat. Fuck that's gross.

>>17001004
Never been fat but I think being fit makes it so much better as a guy. I've fucked bigger girls and it doesn't matter cuz they can just lay there but it's usually up to the guy to be pumping. Sure she can be on top and grind on you but that shit feels better for her anyway. Not having a gut in the way lets you get deeper too.

>>17000987
I'd say don't lose your cool but looking for another job, even just casually, wouldn't be a bad idea.

Yes, because if you were actually competent in your field in any tiny fragment of a degree you'd know that either
1) You can't be replaced by poo in the loo
or
2) If you were replaced, the company is trash and you should be thankful you're getting unemployment/severance while you go find a respectable company

However, you fall into the last category
3) Somebody who doesn't actually do a fucking thing, a helpdesk jocky who thinks they program by writing a two line batch file and resets AD passwords and fixes outlook all day
