It's never too late for higher education. You would need a Doctoral degree and acquire a state license before being able to practice though. That includes getting a bachelor's first before accessing the required Uni-level programs.
>How is it as a career?
$80k annual, decent hours.
>Is it like being a doctor?
No.

>it's never too late

Yes it is. Like a retirement account, it can be too late to ever see a return on investment for higher education.

To OP, you waited a long while and you're close to being shut out. If you are going to do anything like that worth your life, you need to start taking purposeful steps as soon as possible.

You don't need a doctorate, but a Masters is the minimum one requires from a person.

How do I stick to a schedule?

I'm a procrastinator and honestly a pretty lazy piece of shit who wants to setup a workout routine and set a diet for myself, but I'm certain I won't stick to it unless I convince myself to stick to a schedule.

I'm a 6 foot 5 inch male who's 255 pounds and my set goal is to be slim at 210 with a little bit of muscle.
I know this isn't /fit/, but the only real advice I need is how to keep a schedule down since this is something I need to do for myself.

>How do I stick to a schedule?

Set a timer, do those things within the time allowed, then do a second thing and so on. All a schedule is, is basically timed events or events happening at specified times.

Hey guys I have a sort of have a problem. there is 3 people, 2 guys 1 girl. 1 guy thought it would be fun to mess with the other guy's girl (the girl in situation) I talked to these people this one guy, let's call this guy Tim, so Tim thought it would be funny to hit on the girl, let's call her Clover, apparently Clover said to Tim "oh me and the other guy don't have anything." so Tim hits on Clover and made this guy, let's call him Charlie, so Charlie found out this problem and confronted Tim and told him, later, I call up Tim and he told me he was not the bad guy in the situation and he won't tell me story of what happened. so I asked Charlie and he told me Tim was the bad guy and provided proof. if you guys could give me advice to deal this situation, since I'm friends with all of them and I would want to keep like that, that would be awesome thanks /adv/

How do I have a conversation without losing my train of thought halfway?

Sometimes when I talk for too long I forget the point that I was trying to make, have no idea where I am in my sentence, or realize mid sentence that my point is not relevant to the conversation at all. I usually have to pause awkwardly and hope that somone else will catch on and help me out or, if they don't, I have to fumble with my sentences and I get even more lost and just end up looking retarded.

My friends call me a bit socially awkward but its hard to explain to them that its because I get lost in my sentences, and have a hard time catching up.

If I were to describe the feeling, its like halfway through my sentence my brain turns off for a second and my mouth is moving but the words coming out of it aren't what I was thinking of saying a couple seconds ago. When my brain turns back on I am in the middle of a trainwreck that I have to cleanup and reorganize, sometimes having to start over.

Its really frustrating /adv/, I want to have interesting and less awkward conversations. Any advice?

I think perhaps you should see your doctor. Losing your train of thought halfway through the conversation might be a sign that there's a problem with your memory. It happens to the best of us occasionally, but it shouldn't be happening as often as I assume it is for you.

It might even be an issue with anxiety. Either way, see your doctor.
>>
>>16605541
I dont't think it's related to my memory ( hopefully not). Most likely its anxiety as you said.

The time coming up to Xmas I have been really ill, surviving on a mixture of painkillers and cold medicine. I haven't eaten in 9 days, the last time I did I threw up for hours and lost my voice. For a week I have been in a state of constant shivering but my face on fire, my ears are blocked, nose blocked, voice gone and throat in extreme pain, constant headache, have to hold my head to cough, all my body aches and I'm just overall finding it hard to breathe.

Anyway, I live alone with my dad and for Xmas we usually visit family together, do the whole food and present thing, its a tradition. This year however, obviously I can't eat or talk, probably contagious so my dad asks if I want to stay home alone for the 2 days he'll be gone, write him a message saying 'cool, I have a bunch of new games n shit etc' thinking this cold thing has to let up soon and I'll be fine. So off he goes to visit family, now it's only about 2 hours away but everyone knows you can't get phone reception in the house, you have to take a maybe 5 minute walk outside to make calls, so I figure he won't have constant access to phone/text but he will at least text me once a day to ask how I am, me being so Ill, not eating for over a week and everything. Plus there's the whole Christmas thing.

Cont.

But no, 2 days without any contact whatsoever, which I normally wouldn't mind but when he left I felt sort of hungry and was feeling really weak, figured it was due to no food so I eat a slice of plain bread. Instantly regret decision as stomach is in intense pain, making these weird fucking noises. Later on I woke up on the hard tiled kitchen floor, puke all down me, dogs licking the puke off my face, head in so much pain and ears ringing. Eventually sorted myself out, later that night some weird green shit started coming out of my eyes, looked like phlegm, figured it was because of my blocked sinuses, wash it out, go to bed.
Like 2 hours later I wake up feeling like someone has poured acid in my eyes, jump up, try to get bearings, my eyes are fucking sealed shut by some crispy shit and its all over my face, try to pick off, not coming so I run to bathroom and fill sink with warm water, dunk head in expecting sweet relief and get burning eye pain instead, dry them off and fumble around blind knocking into shit before I just rip the stuff off taking some of my eye lashes with it, I now have fucking bald patches on my eyes.

Looking in the mirror my eyes are massive, red, puffy and veiny and don't want to stay open, air, lights and water are burning them intensely. So I send about 20 texts to my dad with the talk thing describing in detail wtf has happened and asking for help/advice and I don't get anything back. I phone him constantly for hours but it keeps going to voicemail, I tried to phone my local doctor but they hung up because I couldn't talk.
>>
>>16605518
So I'm laying on the bathroom floor, blind, unable to talk, can't sleep because my throat is completely blocked along with my nose and it keeps jerking me out of sleep and giving me a heart attack and I have constant coughing fits. I was like this for a day and still no contact from dad, or anyone. Took the plunge eventually and stuck face underwater with eyes open, I was in so much pain I thought my eyes were going to burst, now I can keep them open in the dark but this green shit keeps coming out.

Anyway, finally after 2 days my dad finally phones me, but by this time I'm so angry at him I reject call, tell him I can't talk and not to worry about it, expecting a text back asking if I'm okay, confirming when he'll be home, anything really, especially after the 20 odd texts I,sent him telling how scared and in pain I was, its been 40 mins and fucking nothing. Checked my cousin's fb and apparently the whole family is going to my aunt's house today for a party, which is in the other direction of where he is to my house, so he won't be coming home today or if he does it will be really late and I'm so fucking angry and upset and I don't even know what to do, and I don't even want to tell him all this now because every time we get in a fight he just shouts till I can't be bothered to reply anymore, me not even being able to respond will just make it him shouting at me while I stand there in pain. Plus he's bringing my uncle and cousin over when he does finally get back and I don't want an audience. I know I won't be able to just hide and ignore him however as he'll come and harass me till I respond so I don't even know what to do.

Meanwhile my eyes are still leaking this green burning goo. This motherfucker didn't even text me merry Christmas.

1. truck stop bathrooms
2. laundromat

you can also do both of these in the sink at a single-person public bathroom, but you can expect to be banned or asked to leave if it's obvious that you're using the bathroom for sponge baths and washing clothes

or this, though I'm not sure a gym membership would be in your budget OP

also I am sorry to hear that times are so hard for you, seems like bad times are hitting everybody more and more. hope things get better for you OP

I was invited to spend a few days in the woods by a friend and want to know if I should do it. It's a girl, so maybe we can skip the accusations of homosexuality right off. It's in NC near the mountains on private property, but I don't know if I should do it. I'd have to buy some supplies and it's kind of a spur of the moment thing. She mentioned hunting too, so I either buy camouflage or just not give a damn and just enjoy time with a girl and let the actual hunting go second. I planned on taking my rifle either way for protection, so there's that.

I've been wanting an adventure but have limited options around me, but this seems like a good idea in a way. I am hesitant to accept and commit to it though, and I don't really know why.

Should I do it? If I don't do it will I regret it? I don't usually do things like this but I have wanted to for the longest time.

Go, have fun. It'll get you inna woods for a few days, at the very least. Don't go in with preconceived notions of anything else beyond that; it'll only lead to disappointment if you do. Enjoy the time outdoors and in good company, and if things progress beyond that, hey, added bonus.
Take a little spontaneous risk, son.

>>16605471

I don't expect anything to happen, if you're talking about what I think you are. I'm just thinking about leaving my house like I haven't really done in five years and just being out, you know? I don't want to do something stupid or unexpected and then regret it later, but at the same time I don't want to not do it and regret it later.

I'm also fighting with myself because I am an adult and I should be able to make up my own mind on this, but I can't. I'm like a hobbit, honestly. I like my home and my area, but at the same time I want at least some adventure like I said. Will it matter though if I'm sitting in my chair in front of my computer or in the woods around a small fire? It may not be a difficult decision for other people but I am still indecisive.

>>I don't expect anything to happen, if you're talking about what I think you are.
Can't blame me for assuming, considering 95% of all the fucking posts on this board invariably lead to the same question.
Put the situation into context: it's only a few days, then you get to go back to your comfort zone. This is a call to adventure if there ever was one. If your normal gig is to just fart around your house and local area, then getting outdoors--out into a controlled location, no less, considering it's on private property--is a break from that. You could do well with a change in routine.

Hi, /adv/. Yesterday and today I'he gotten a wire feling in my left arm, like it tingles and it feels numb and heavy. It happens only at night, when I'm about to sleep. I'm a 30 yo man, normal weight but with a history of high cholesterol. Should I go to ER, or simply book an appointment for some other day?

are you sure your arm isn't just dead from sleeping on it/inactivity?

I went through a hypochondriac phase when I was 25 where I got that same feeling when I would wake up at night. But it was obviously from my head resting on it for hours.

I've been talking to this girl. we went on a date yesterday. things went well. we continued talking christmas eve after she got out of work. then she just stopped responding to me. I asked her how dinner wash, she was typing then it vanished and she didnt respond. I asked her if she wanted to hang out tomorrow and she read it but said nothing, so I went to bed. I wished her a merry christmas this morning (along with everyone else on my texts) and she read it but didnt respond. then I mass texted everyone on my list that my imessage had been eating texts and she read and didn't respond. I am objectively terrible at pursuing relationships (getting laid is easy, trying to build a relationship, I am fucking retarded.)

In previous messages she told me she liked me, and thought I was someone she could give all of her love and attention to and was super interested. She told me outright she thought I was gorgeous and exactly her type and that she wanted to go out with me. I should also point out that she only has an ipad so her texts are sometimes infrequent. And this type of girl is the kind with 1000s of followers on IG with thirsty ass niggas everywhere trying to fuck her. When I was on POF originally talking to her I had to send her like 3 messages (1 of which was a "hey look its cool if you don't wanna talk to me, not gonna waste my time here, have a good one" type deal and she immediately gave me her #)

tl;dr - she aint responding and I feel like a retard. should I just stop texting her for awhile and see what happens? I would have understood she was busy on christmas but she was taking videos of her house and dog on her ipad and sending them to me before dinner etc.

Dont act clingy. But show her you cafe (if you do care) and maybe she'll see that you're a decent human who isn't just some thirstyass nigga wanting to fuck her. Its OK to be clingy though. It shows that you care

She knows I am not just trying to sleep with her (btw this girl is out of my league, I am not a bad looking guy but I am fat. She likes big italian looking guys but she is like, the chick every dude is staring at when she walks into the room, huge tits, fat ass, lots of selfies etc. I was shocked she was into me at first.)

She also knows I haven't pursued a relationship in like 10 years because I have been busy pursuing my career and she seemed fine with it. Should I just not text her for a few days and see what happens, or be like "hey look I know I am a retard when it comes to this stuff, if you don't wanna talk its cool but just let me know if I am wasting my time here"

If you live in a predominantly non-Christian country, ignore this post. Otherwise...

I said this in another thread, but I'll say it here too. IT'S FUCKING CHRISTMAS. People are busy doing Christmas things with their family and friends, or staying home and sticking candy canes in their asses while watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special for the 895th time or whatever it is people do on Christmas by themselves. Or they're just enjoying a day off to themselves before they have to go back to their hellhole of a workplace. I don't care how lonely or NEET or desperate or non-Christian you think someone is - if you're not actually their SO or a good friend or close family member, don't expect to hear from them on Christmas or even the day after. Just...relax already.

Hi /adv/,

A few months back I got somewhat involved with a female friend of a group of friends I hung out with often.
We got really close and flirted a lot to the point where I started giving her a mess of attention. She sent a lot of really strong signals. Really late into everything I found out she had a boyfriend the entire time though, at which point I confronted her and told her it wasn't a good idea for us to be flirting or for me to be giving her so much attention, though I hoped we would remain friends. She got really mad and started giving me the cold shoulder, as well as what appeared to be her trying to mess with me by including herself in activities I took part in as well as flirting with other guys when I was around. I don't know what all that meant, but oh well.
It drove me crazy that she refused to remain friends, so I did the pathetic guy shit, begging her for forgiveness and what not. It got to the point where I felt like I was getting a little out of hand contacting her, so I had to stop and remove myself from the situation.

The entire time the group of friends her and I hang around could tell something was going on between us. They seemed to not really talk to me as much anymore, which made me think maybe she was trying to turn them against me.

Regardless, I got fed up of everything so I just removed all forms of contact between the girl as well as my group of friends and just completely avoided everyone for the past few months.
I've been getting the idea of trying to make a reappearance and attempt to contact my friends here recently, but I'm really scared that everyone hates me or misunderstands the situation and thinks badly of me. Whether she really did turn them against me or I burned bridges by avoiding them I'm not sure. I'm just not sure what to do in this situation. Is it too late?

Thanks.

She has a boyfriend. How does that make you feel. You shouldn't involve yourself in other people's relationships. -source : I have trust issues with my gf. She stays in contact with her ex's.
>>
But don't Abandon her. Thank just make things worse
>>
>>16605422
That's my point though. Her and I were flirting with each other the entire time without telling me she had a boyfriend.
I told her I thought it was inappropriate and that it needed to stop, but I wanted to remain friends. She was the one who go mad and tried to justify us flirting, saying her boyfriend was alright with it (which I'm like 99% sure was her lying in order to keep me around to give her attention)

She was the one who abandoned me and refused to be my friend.

My main concern here is trying to reunite with the group of friends she may or may not have turned against me.
Even if she didn't, I kinda removed all forms of contact between my friends and I because I was just fed up with everything. Now I want to speak with my friends again but I'm afraid I might have burned some bridges by avoiding them for the past two-or-so months.

All my freinds use the fag emojis and watch to much sports and i really dont like them. Help me 4chan

Stop talking to them and hanging out with them. Make up excuses to not do stuff with them. Try to find other people to hang out with that you actually get along with, preferably in person. But I've found that even internet friends, if I can talk to them and they're not annoying and shit, are better than having IRL friends who are aggravating.

Mildly fucked, but not in any way that isn't fixable. You're just getting a little later start is all. It's true that some of the more lucrative careers are harder to get into and succeed in if you start late, but unless you're trying to be a hotshot stockbroker or research chemist or something, you'll be fine.

As for the bullying stuff, all I can say is keep working on being the person you want to be. The longer you spend blazing your own path in life, the farther away all that past shit becomes. If it seems overwhelming, maybe hit up a therapist or do some journaling or some other kind of catharsis. Understanding and healing comes with time.

One thing though, just from my own experience: If you feel compelled to burn the candle at both ends constantly to make up for lost time in your career or personal life, don't - not unless you are absolutely certain you have the energy for it. There's nothing wrong with working hard and striving for goals, just keep an eye on your stress levels and don't burn yourself out by expecting that you "should have" done this or that by a certain age. There's no set progression of milestones in life .
