How many of you deal with overbearing or controlling parents?

>How many of you deal with overbearing or controlling parents?

560,002 of us.

>Do you guys have any ideas about what to do, other than moving out?

You should move out if you want your independence as an adult.

>I can't deal with roommates for long periods of time before I go into an autistic rage and try to fight them, so having a roommate is out of the question.

Such are the human problems of this perverse world. There is no escape from our problems but only lesser evils.

What the fuck, man? Maybe you and your gran deseve each other. But yeah, moving out is probably your only option. Old people are set in their ways and deaf when they choose to be, so negotiating with her is probably useless. Anyhow, if it's her house, it's sorta her right to set the alarm whenever she wants to.

Naw, we hate each other.
The only reason she's keeping me around is because she knows I have a trust fund and she's hoping I take care of her when she can no longer wipe her ass.
I'm sticking around because I don't want to pull the trigger on buying a house, because I don't want to squander my inheritance.

this is the thread i need

>22
>5th year of uni
but before this
>4th year of uni
>engineering major
>grades poor, not yet admitted to engi college within the university
>dad tells me I should look for another major since poor grades
>follow his advice, cause hes dad and ive always followed parents advice about school (in uni because of them)
>change major for my last year of school
>im not in some bullshit major that doesn't technically exist, its kind of a build-a-major program thats in its beta stages of uni before being implemented more widely
>classes don't teach me how to be more employable
>most are senior-level fill-in-the-credits bullshit kind of classes (ie. wine tasting 101)
>im in these because ive technically filled out my requirements from being an engi major for 4 years
Since i didnt finish engi, im not employable in that field, and because i'll only take one year of this new major, with no real technical courses, i won't be employable in this new field either. So now what? Finish with some worthless major? Drop out completely and go somewhere else? Pursue certs and be Mr. IT man in some corporate basement and never finish college? No matter what route i take I feel like i'll still have to take courses for certs or w/e. This is all because I took dad's advice over the dean of the engineering college I was trying to get into. Fuck me right?

Yeah, fuck your dad on that one.
I'd advise you get a post-graduate business degree.
In America we call it a Master's in Business
We have expedited programs that only take about a year-and-half. Once completed, you'll have the experience to get into Business Admin.
With your engineering knowledge, I imagine you'll do very well.

Are you expecting housing prices to go down? You should have bought 5 years ago, but you're still better off buying now than continuing to wait.
