I tried this thread last time and got no replies so I thought I would start by contributing something myself.

I'm not bragging. Please don't take it the wrong way. I'm not really much. I'm here on a Saturday night ffs.

You can do that but you can also do a Masters. Sorry don't know how your American system works.

Do you pay yourselves for the the first first two years of post-grad?

>Only hobby is reading, literature,

Also enjoy doing that.

> contemporary politics

I don't bother with that any more. I don't see the point in giving a shit about things beyond my control.

>Also thinking about joining the YPG or just volunteering in Rojava

Your government would blacklist you from being hired/funded by any government programs if you do that.

>>36119974

Have you tried working on your conversational skills?

There is a lot of potential if you work at a hospital. Lots of cute nurses. What is stopping you?

>>36120033

My conversational skills are well above average. Conversing is essentially what I do for a living. I don't work at a hospital.

When I did as a resident all the nurses only gave any positive attention to the Chad residents/doctors. They treated me with general disregard, as all women do when they aren't my patients or platonic friends.

>You can do that but you can also do a Masters. Sorry don't know how your American system works.
You can start taking graduate level classes as an undergraduate but they restrict some stuff to people with graduate status. It is rare to just transition into a Masters program from undergraduate. (Also I meant I will get my Bachelors a year later, not sure if you interpreted it as taking a year off). The reason I am doing it is because I am in a program to help me get into graduate school.
>I don't bother with that any more. I don't see the point in giving a shit about things beyond my control.
That's why I'm thinking about joining an actual organization and not just following the 24/7 news cycle.
>Your government would blacklist you from being hired/funded by any government programs if you do that.
Not really. They are supported by the US government and while they don't encourage people the last thing I read was that it isn't illegal. If it came up in an interview I can say I was helping to develop their industrial and sanitation capacity (I am a chemical engineer) which is just like being in the Peace Corps.

How ugly are you that you can't get a girl?

>>36120327

Working hard doesn't mean you can't chat up the waitresses at the beginning/end of your shift. At least you work in a place where good looking girls have no choice but to acknowledge and interact with you.

>>36120086

DESU this sounds weird to me. Are you sure it's not you being too shy? Of course the Chad doctors are going to get immediate attention but I would imagine if you spoke to the nurses they would not immediately put you off.

Yes. Tell us what makes you ugly.

Although to be honest I'm pretty boring, all I do is work and listen to music and read manga/comic books, not really interested in anything and don't like going out/trying new things etc. Also I'm a Pajeet so not attractive despite being lucky and being taller than average.

Lucky for me I gave up on all this shit when I was like 14 so it doesn't bother me anymore and I quite like not having to do anything.

>>36119974
Was med school the worst time of your life as well? Everyone at work is a normalfag, I reckon it's going to be a problem the more senior I get and when people start noticing I never go to work socials or talk about my family or hobbies and shit.

I've never been happier than I am now. Though now I'm wondering what else there is in life.

I'd really like to save my money, invest and leave to some place in the middle of nowhere. It's the ultimate middle finger to pointless bullshit.

Though I also would like a family, and I have a feeling I'm more likely to go down that path now.

>>36120462

I don't think you understand how women work. Or the job. First of all, when you're a resident it's not like you have all day to flirt with the nurses. You're running 24/7 constantly to try to get your work done and fix your patients. Most of the nurses are fat and old. The few that are young only flirt or gossip about the tall good looking Chad doctors. The Chad residents were apparently talked about by all the nurses and female residents (I know from some female resident friends).

Why would anyone want a short ugly ethnic doctor when there's superChad 6'+ handsome white doctors all over the place?

Answer: they don't. And as stated I don't work in hospitals any more. Just in training.

All my friends in med school who were short/ugly/ethnic did no better with women from becoming doctors. Only the Chads got amped up another 25-50%.

It's a variation of the rich get richer, but with looks, and everyone else just rots.

No. I enjoy personal interaction. Which is why being ugly is such hell. I desperately want to be able to go out on dates with cute girls. I want to spend time with them and talk to them, etc.

I'm training in Trauma & Orthopaedics and any surgical speciality has mad competition to get into senior/registrar positions (same with anaesthetics and Derm whereas they are under filled for GPs/Physicians/Psychiatry for example) and having a higher degree makes it more likely to get a registrar job. Should hopefully get a publication out of it and it has taught me some shit that I'll need to know for exit exams.

>>36120573
I'm surprised. I fucking hated every second of med school but I only went there to keep my parents happy. I was terrible at talking to people before med school forced me to become good at it. Spent my whole time there just keeping my head down and trying to graduate.

I've long since made peace with being alone forever so I don't mind it anymore.

I don't really have any tips. I was below average at med school but I've done well for myself after graduating and it's because I don't do anything with free time, so if I have yo I can force myself to read for hours. I usually call it a day when I start falling asleep. There's no short cuts, just have to buckle down, ignore everything else and get shit done.

Sorry, I was racing GTA. I'm thinking of going to Japan for about two week. I'd rather stay longer but oh well. I'm saving up between 3.5-4.5k. I'd love to be there for a month. I'd also love to work there for a few months to really immerse myself but that's plan B if plan A doesn't work out.
