Pretty sure NC will go red. I just know too many foolish people there

I must be hitting the lottery, because I see it more often than "rare"

yes women can be incredibly toxic lol. It just isn't as popular to point it out because of the culture wars

Didn't watch it, but I think the problem is the paradigm. Treating it like this huge obstacle that needs to be paid for to understand. It ironically creates a mental block.

meh

you say we shouldnt have guns, but try invading us.

without that badge you're a bitch and a half

Hi there! I have posted a similar thread to this one months ago, but I realized that my questions were too vague and required some more detail, so I did research on jobs and career fields that interested me to go further into detail. I'd like to start off with where I am at as well as my schooling background, then list the options that I have found appealing. I finished my associates degree at a community college in 2019, and I plan to continue my education at a university. I am majoring in business administration, and I have been accepted into the university of my choice. I am set to attend in the fall (if things are well enough in society hopefully). As of the last few months, I have been seriously considering doing a 180 and looking into a whole other career path. Particularly in the health care field. I work as a delivery driver, and deliver food to many medical facilities. I have always admired the environment of the health care industry, as well as their job availability. I have also admired the work of a health care provider, especially in these trying times. Being in this industry would make me feel as if I was contributing something positive to the world. And on top of that I'd get decent pay and benefits. So I decided to go to Onet (a career info website) and find as many jobs within my current degree, as well as health care jobs that sound appealing. All of the jobs I found appealing are as follows: Business/marketing jobs: -Marketing manager - Fundraiser -Marketing strategist -Public relations fundraising managers -Security management specialist Healthcare jobs: -Radiation therapist -Xray Tech - medical sonographer -Nuclear medicine -Occupational therapy assistant The Pros: All of these jobs appeal to me in many common ways. All of these jobs make at least 60k in my state, which is my ideal minimum financially. They all had some what appealing job descriptions. I'd prefer the parts of these career paths that deal with people one on one. Being a marketer allows me to work with others on the business side, and all of the medical jobs do the same. On top of that, all of these career paths would require just two more years of schooling. I could either finish my bachelors degree on the business side for a job in that field, or I could enroll in a 2 year program for all of the healthcare jobs listed. I'd ideally be spending the same amount of time within either path I decide to take. The Cons: On the business side, my path seems wide open. A business degree can land me many different jobs. This is a double edged sword in my eyes, as it makes me nervous that I don't have a clear cut idea of where I'd end up. The idea of business can seem kind of cold and unfulfilling. There could be jobs available to market for helpful organizations such as Red Cross, but having my pick of the litter within business jobs isn't a guarantee. I know that most people who get a job after college change jobs within 5 years, and I have a feeling that finding my niche in business would take some adjusting. And at the same time, would I have the drive and energy to compete in the cut throat business world? I have no clue honestly. With healthcare, it's a bit different. I would choose a specific program to enroll in and have a clear idea of what I'm getting into. If I go to school for nuclear medicine, that is what I'll be doing. If I decide to be an occupational therapy assistant, than I know I'll do that. There isn't as much grey area in my career path as with business. And that is a pro of course. The con of health care for me is the schooling aspect. Science has always been my weakest subject followed by math. I have to work incredibly hard to pull off a good grade. Finishing the required science for my associates degree was the most difficult part for me. I remember being straight up lost in biology and eventually dropping the class. It literally felt like they threw us to the wolves as far as learning what was required for the test. I ended up deciding to take astronomy, which was still really really tough and obviously not medical related. On top of that, I have a friend who was majoring as a physician assistant, but decided to drop that major, because the shadowing was so boring. So is the idea of being in the health care field more of a romantic idea than a fulfilling reality? In Conclusion: I apologize for the wall of text. I just wanted to convey my career endeavors as clearly as possible. I plan to make this decision by the end of the month in order to prepare myself for the fall. If anyone can give me some insight to this, I'd truly appreciate it.

@Hello from Russia Thats a great perspective and ideally what I'd want to do if I go the business route. I guess my question is how available that would be in reality. Will I have the choice to find that nich? Or will the company that hires me put me where they need me? Thanks for taking your time to share!

thank you! Ill check that book out

Hey guys, so I recently finished my associates degree at my community college, and I have been accepted into my university of choice which I will attend in the fall. I was supposed to attend this spring, but I was dealing with some health issues. This actually worked out for the best though, as I am considering changing my career path. I have been majoring in business administration. I chose this path for the fluidity of the degree, as there are many opportunities for certain careers with said degree. My ideal path was to go into marketing, as that interested me a lot. But as I grow as a person, the idea of marketing sounds kind of feeble and it really isn't a career that I think would fulfill me long term. After really trying to listen to my heart and find out what truly drives me, I feel as if a career path where I help people would be the best for me. I could see myself sticking with a career for a long time if I feel as if I am helping others and creating positive change in people. I am trying to figure out specifically which path I can take for this. I am trying my best to use my time before the fall to research this and have a solid idea, but sometimes I feel like I have a hard time. I know for a fact that the health care field appeals to me, as there will always be a need for these jobs, and I like the idea of working in a medical environment. The only thing that worries me is the requirement for science. Science has always been my toughest subject. I have had a difficult time in the past with getting good grades in my science classes, and it would be rather depressing if that held me back from a career path that I really liked. Another path would be working at a university. I don't know if I'd like the idea of being a professor, but I really enjoy being in an educational environment. I think I'd really enjoy some kind of career that allows me to work within a university. I have been looking up health care administrator, and that seems like an appealing career. It can be accessed with a business administration degree, so I wouldn't need to change my major. But this job seems to entail a lot of budgeting, and I'd rather not be a glorified accountant. Can anyone provide me some ideas or resources for further exploring these career paths? What is the most efficient way to find what works for me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Okay...to start out I have actually been working hard on my health and self actualization physically,mentally and emotionally. I have put a lot of work in getting where I am today. But I am still having bumps in the road on my journey. This current problem comes down to cocaine use. I dont consider myself an addict. My use has always been sporadic. I have gone months without using and day to day I never feel any urges for it. But when things like the holidays come around or my friends come into town, coke eventually shows up and I feel tempted to partake. When I do coke, it is very hard for me to stop and not take it too far. I always end up strung out and wake up the next day with a terrible come down. I've regretted this many times before and have made it my new years resolution to end this habit for good. Well, my brother came to town and his friends came over. He had some on him and I told myself itll be the last time. I didnt wanna feel left out either. The problem with me when I'm on coke is that I seem to change drastically when it happens. Ideas that would never cross my mind sober seem exciting in that moment. Well when I get really up on it, I start to have homosexual urges. This never seem appealing sober, and I suspect that it happens when I'm on coke because I have had a lack of romance and sex with women for the past few years. I get horny, but for many reasons I lack the confidence to be with a woman currently. So long story short...I wound up on grindr and hooked up with a guy. It felt so right when I was high. But after I came down I felt ashamed of it and paranoid. I dont think there is anything wrong with homosexuality morally. But I feel ashamed that I changed so drastically on drugs and I'm not sure who I even am anymore. I am paranoid that this will somehow come back to haunt me. I have spent the past two days depressed about all this and feel a lot of self hatred. I want to talk to someone about this, but I dont feel comfortable about talking to my therapist in the past about this and I know it will be a process to find a new one. I truly believe this is the moment that makes me quit for good. But this shame weighs on me. I just need someone to listen and possibly help me see this in a different light. I feel very bleak currently.

It sounds like you handled it correctly. You placed your boundaries and were true to yourself. You cant control what someone does. If he's really that committed to getting back at you, then you can only control yourself. Just do your best at work and understand that he's the one with issues. Let go of what you cant control. I think you're handling better than you realise!

Thanks! Glad I dont have to see post from that idiot anymore.

Is there a way to ignore users on here? I have a strict policy in ignoring aggressive mentally I'll people

@Meetjoeblack not even gonna dignify this post with a proper response.

@Meetjoeblack idk what any of this means

@Kalki Avatar I mean honestly dude all this shit just seems too complex. If a girl plays me as a nice guy, then I'll move to another girl. I don't wanna compromise who I am to manipulate someone. And doing that whole dark game shit just feels like that. If it arises naturally, then it will arise naturally. But I just don't give a fuck about all these concepts and mind tricks anymore. If I alienate a good portion of women because of it, then so be it. I don't give a shit about banging every girl I can anymore. It never made me happy.

Models by mark manson seems to be the best book I've ever read. It's an actual healthy look at all of it. I ran into a lot of dating coaches who were unhealthy so this was a breath of fresh air

It's better than going to ktt mr. die lit

It's all good vro!

social media...bleh
