I'm a pharmacist in Australia. Managed to find a job despite the fact that the job market is saturated. What I love is teaching though. I took part in teaching voluntary programs during summer and I really enjoyed them, and I find teaching much more rewarding than my current job as a pharmacist.
Is a career change (i.e. becoming a high school teacher) worth it?
My parents taught for their careers, and they think that it is ridiculous how I am thinking of this career change.
Another question: I have citizenship in another country. I am interested in working there (stayed there in the past and love it). Is it better for me to get a teaching degree there so that I can do a bit of networking there? I want to teach there and see what life is like in a different country. It will be expensive though and means that I have to drop everything.

You're probably young. Do it. It'll be eye-opening, and even better if you don't like it you will always have pharmacy to fall back on. Save money, change jobs. I had a teacher who was a former lawyer because she wasn't into lawyering anymore. People change careers all the time. What's the other country, wrt education credentials?

>>16625215
The other country is the states.

I'm not sure whether it would necessarily apply to you, but look into Teach for Australia, they visited my
university a few months ago trying to find talented students. They take recent graduates and current
students, so I don't know whether you fit the bill, but they certainly want passion.
>http://www.teachforaustralia.org/
Other than that, you could go for a masters of education or equivalent given that you are already a post grad.
As for "Is it worth it?", well that is certainly a hard question Anon. Only you can answer that, for better or
worse. Perhaps start with "Why am I a pharmacist?", then "Do I enjoy what I do?", and maybe "How much
do I care about job security and the time/effort I spent getting to where I am?"
Because teaching in Australia is somewhat saturated depending on your area of expertise.
In terms of teaching overseas, I can't really help you.

My roommate has this dog. They found him wandering around their old apartment complex during a really hot summer and took him inside to cool off.
They tried to contact the owner about the dog but they never got back to him and we're pretty sure they moved and never gave a shit about the dog anyway.
So fast forward to our time with the dog. He was obviously neglected before and has terrible teeth and was never neutered. So now he pees all over the house.
While we are at work they leave him in their bathroom, which only results in him barking for a long time.
I've tried to talk to him about crate training the dog. We all also agreed that he needs to get neutered.
But nothing will motivate my roommate to actually get it done. And I'm so frustrated because I clean when I get home from work and find new piss on our shit, so I end up cleaning that up.
I would only find it on the laminate floor before, and was nervous to look in the carpeted area, but now I've found he's been constantly peeing on it but we can't see it because the carpet is beige.
I can't have this keep going on. But it isn't my dog and my responsibility to get him neutered with my money, but it is my shit he's pissing on.

I workee in a high volume spay and neuter clinic up until two weeks ago. Heres my advice: research. In my town depending on where you live you can get surgery for animal for free because of a grant given to our organization my petsmart charities.
Tldr. Call shelters and high volume neuter clinics ask about grants. Dont go to a full service vet unless u are rich.
Btw surgery for a male large dog at a neuter clinic woildnt be but about 60 bucks

>>16625073
You have to actually train a dog, and walk it, and play with it and stuff. Take care of it. Your roommate obviously just had a dumb impulse and doesn't care enough to see it through. You should just call him out on this shit, straight up, and tell him that he should put the dog up for adoption if he's not going to put in any work

I wish I could be more "smooth" when it comes to girls. I try stuff , or test them on my sister before I actually try it out on another girl.
>Yesterday when I was bringing my sister to school , I slapped her butt for fun.
> I guess I slapped too hard cause she fell over on her face. She didn't talk to me for the rest of the ride and seemed upset.
How do I stop being so akward and cuking up around girls??

Lol, that cracked me up. Anyway, you have to start out small. Crawl before you walk, and walk before you can run.
Can you just hold a casual conversation with a girl, the same you would with a friend? If not, thats where you need to start. Talk to girls without flirting, or any intention of sexual contact. Once you've gotten confident with that you can move on to seduction.

>>16625122
I'm ok with talking to girls. Sometimes I wish they were my little sister though. Honestly I feel like that's what they are missing to be a girl I would be REALLY interested in.

I'd like to develop a real friendship with a girl I know from work. How do I do this?
I've been working with this girl for about 6 months now, and I greatly enjoy her company. She's smart, funny, cool, etc. We talk a lot when we're at work together, eat lunch together, and generally spend time around each other when we're at work and have nothing else to do for the day. There are a few issues with me just coming straight out and asking for her number so that we can keep in touch when we're not at work together, though.
First off, I'm recently engaged (I proposed on Christmas Eve). The girl knows this (also knows that I've been with my fiancée for 6 years), is very happy for me, and has expressed interest in wanting to come to the wedding (even jokingly suggested that she's throw me a bachelor party). Because of this, I feel kind of awkward asking the girl to become closer friends with me (despite the fact that most of my friends are female; they were all friends before I started dating my fiancée). I don't want her to feel that I'm trying to skeeze on her and get some side action -- let me make it clear here that I have absolutely no intention of doing that -- but I really don't see a way that I can develop the friendship further without it seeming like that.
Second, she's (what I feel is) significantly younger than me (5 years). I feel that this kind of compounds the earlier issue because I feel like I might appear like the weird older guy trying to get with a younger girl.
Third, she's physically attractive. This is the big issue. Even though my fiancée has encouraged me to make friends and whatnot with my coworkers, I feel like she'd be threatened if I started communicating with a younger, attractive girl from work outside of work. My intention is NOT to try and have a fling with this girl or have a relationship with this girl behind my fiancée’s back. I legitimately just want to have her as a friend outside of work because I enjoy her company.

While I do find her physically attractive, I am legitimately interested in developing a strictly platonic friendship with this girl. I’m NOT trying to get with her, I love my fiancée and would never, NEVER do something so despicable to my fiancée. Despite the age difference, this girl is genuinely interesting to me (we have great conversations, have similar senses of humour and tastes) and I don’t want to be seen as trying to “take advantage” of a younger girl (by either her or my fiancée). On one hand, I feel that my recent engagement would help my case, indicating to her that I’m entirely committed to my fiancée and removing the whole issue of her getting the wrong idea about me asking to become closer friends. On the other, she might think I’m being a scumbag who’s trying to develop a romantic relationship with her behind my fiancée’s back. Also, I’m not sure how my fiancée would feel about me attempting to develop a friendship with this girl – she knows that I work with this girl (I’ve spoken with my fiancée about her and she knows that this girl and I are work friends), but she could reasonably feel threatened if I attempt to make an actual friendship out of a work relationship with another girl.
How do I ask her to become better friends with me without a) seeming like a scumbag, b) being awkward and trying to convince her that I’m not being a scumbag, c) ruining the relationship we already have, and d) getting my fiancée angry?
>>
Talk to your fiancee first. Then invite the girl to a group event with some of your other female friends, your fiancee, or other coworkers.
>>
She has to be a part of your fiance's life and getting close to both of you... IF you really are wanting to be "just friends"...

I've seen a few threads here about depressed Marines here lately, and I regret to inform you all that I must add one more! I am a junior Marine that is currently training at ITB east. I have been struggling with depression for awhile before my rebirth into the Corps, so the Corps is NOT the reason that I am depressed. But it is also not helping either. The stress that I would normally be able to handle completely crippling me. I feel sad all the time for no apparent reason. For awhile, it was getting better. But now it is getting very very bad, and I can't keep it inside anymore. I need help and I don't know where to go to, I don't want to ruin my career, people to my left and to my right are getting kicked out with OTH discharges for saying the wrong things to doc or the combat instructors. I feel stuck, and I don't know how much longer I can endure this. My motivation levels are at an all time low. and we have the 15k hike coming up in a week. Please help.

The story you tell sounds similar to those my friends used to tell me.They all joined up. UMMM idk maybe if you can try to get out..if not just do it..stay outta trouble ...stay safe..all that stuff..best wishes.
>>
>>16625015
Thanks, I don't necessarily want to get out. But I feel like I might not have a choice if this doesn't get better. Some will call me a pussy because I havent even seen combat or been deployed, but like I said earlier, the corps isn't why I am depressed. To be honest, I don't know WHY I am depressed, but a year or two before I became a Marine, I was in a deep pit of depression, it got better over time, but now its back, and my life just feels like shit every day. and I don't fucking know why.
>>
>>16625031
Yeah they definitely will. I also have a friend who got out early...still talks about seeing the shit and went on some deployment to a non-combat zone..everyone rags on them but thats not the point...do whatcha need to do

Im always jealous of other women. Not only my friends but also celebrities like IvankaTaylor Swift, Emma Watson or Kate Middleton ( wife of prince William). I know its stupid and unreasonable. I consider myself as attractive, Im about to finish dental school next year, I have a great relationship with my boyfriend. But I just cannot stop that jealousy feeling.

You need to physically get this out of your system. How? It may sound weird, but what you should do is get a doll, whether it's blowup, realish or whatever, and set it up as a recreation of the woman you're jealous of in particular. Now, what you need to do is place a dildo on that female doll and go to town on it. While you're fucking this Ivanka Trump dildo doll, call it names and degrade it by insulting its hideous hermaphrodite penis (or something along those lines, get creative). Over time, you'll come to associate these beautiful women with strange hermaphrodites and you'll inwardly feel yourself able to compete with them. Make sure to record your sessions so that when a jealous feeling about a woman comes back, you can remind yourself that you have "blackmail tapes."
Problem solved!

>I barely make it, I am heavily advised to see a counselor
I'm very worried that I won't be good enough for the college that I want to go to. I plan on going for Computer Science, which require as rigorous of courses as other engineering majors.
Do I:
>risk going to four year college with gf
>four/five years at ~17,000/yr
>be guaranteed any job that I want because of certifications and credentials that college holds (NASA, NSA, etc.)
>possible, but would kick my ass
>stay at home and go to local 2 year college
>costs 5,300/yr, can transfer after
>friend's brother graduated with 2 year degree and started at 53,000/yr salary
>work for family business and see gf on weekends
>won't be as fulfilling
Her leaving isn't in the question. Seeing as how many of you have been far past college, I was wondering what /adv/ thought.

The latter, obviously. No college will guarantee you a job, don't be naive. With the second option, you always have the option of transferring if you feel you're not being pushed enough or if you manage to save up enough money.

Don't settle for something that wont make you happy, and don't worry about the money too much 17k a year isn't bad CS averages 60k starting.

Is not having any money worth not going to college? If you've got the smarts and the drive theres no reason not to, you can pay loans off pretty easy if you go to a small state college and get a major that isn't liberal arts.
>>
>>16624929
I personally think it's awful. I had an unsubbed loan for a bit and watching the interest accrue was maddening to me. I think if it's your only option and you can get one, a subbed loan wouldn't be too bad.

So I went on this binge for the last 3 days of doing nothing but reading manga, and I essentially stayed in the same spot, slept when I felt like it, ate sporadically and nothing good for me, and showered every other day. I didn't brush my teeth tho because I felt it was a waste of time. But I've finished my binge, I'm all groomed up, but when I brushed my teeth and used mouthwash, all my teeth started to hurt. Why is this happening? can I make it stop? What if I swish mouthwash for like an hour?

> swish mouthwash for an hour
Lmaooooo no
Get dental floss (real floss that comes in a roll, not those little handheld flossers) use it twice daily BEFORE brushing. Massage your gums with it. Then use an electric toothbrush to clean your teeth really well and massage your gumline. Then use a mouthwash that says it prevents plaque/tartar buildup. Swish it around for 30 seconds.
If its your gums that are bothering you its gum disease (gingivitis you can treat, periodontitis you'll need to see a dentist). If its your actual teeth hurting, use a toothpaste and mouthwash geared towards sensitivity

Hey /adv/,
So I need an opinion on a moral dilemma my female friend Anna is facing. Our mutual friend of 7+ years, let's call him Mac, has been dating this girl Iris (another long-term mutual friend of both of ours) for about 5 years. Last year, they broke up temporarily because Mac essentially said he wanted to spend part of his college time sleeping with other women.
He ended up having sex with one of Iris's close friends, and it turned into a huge argument. She and Iris still don't speak, although Iris and Mac got back together shortly after. Still, even after they got back together, I'd be at parties with Mac and he'd try to have sex with other girls, who on more than one occasion refused when they found out one way or the other that he had a long-term girlfriend. Iris is super sweet and naive, she has no idea - they live 90 minutes away from each other now after Mac dropped out of college this spring.
But about 2 weeks ago, Mac had sex with a 42 year old he met at a bar (we're 23) and told me, Anna, and my girlfriend about it. We were all pretty drunk, and he tried to kiss Anna and admitted to having feelings about her (though he says he doesn't remember doing so). He hits on her constantly when Iris isn't around.
He and Iris were planning on moving in with each other within the next few months. The whole cheating thing really bothered Anna, and as a good friend of both, she decided to tell Mac that he had to either tell Iris about what he had done or she'd tell Iris herself. Mac blew up on her and started attacking her character, refused to accept any wrongdoing, forced Anna's hand and acted like he's the victim in this situation.
So /adv/, should she tell Iris, almost certainly end her friendship with Mac AND end their relationship? Or should she keep it quiet and let them move in together despite all the things Mac has done?
