Anyone here "fall into" a weirdly important or niche career that actually makes okay money?

Did anyone here fall into a random, possibly boring, traditional, or completely overlooked industry that turned out to be vital to other businesses or the public?

Bonus points if it’s something you didn't even know existed when you were younger and doesn't require hard manual labor.

What do you actually do all day, and how did you get into it? By “okay” I mean it’s decent : realistic.

Sincerely someone looking at a new career 😮‍💨,

EDIT: by manual, I mean the trades. I’m no good with my hands! thank you all for your comments, I’ll thank you all at some point!

How do you know if your fatigue is illness-related?

How do you actually know whether the fatigue you're experiencing is due to a particular condition, rather than just being a normal amount of exhaustion from your lifestyle?

For example, I have MS and PCOS, but I also work full-time from home thankfully , study part-time too, and have all the usual things like cooking, cleaning, etc. if I over do it, I get cold like symptoms that tell me to rest and my body shuts down , but could this just be me doing too much? Is it me getting older?

How do you tell whether that's “medical fatigue” or whether you're simply exhausted because you're juggling a lot? Is there actually a meaningful way to distinguish the two?

I’m just curious because I’m very reluctant to blame the conditions. But genuinely can’t remember the last time I was full of energy and I’m only 29.

Yasmin and Jordan: how do you handle this one?

This was a really hard watch.

I felt sorry for both of them.

Yas = she’s never had a boyfriend due to her own insecurities in how she looked and that is a big thing for a woman. We are judged on our looks before our mouths are even opened. I kind of feel like she set herself up by coming on this show. We all have insecurities but some wounds are still deep.

Jordan = he cared for Yas, but the physical attraction wasn’t there for him. You could tell he genuinely didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but he went about it a bit wrong. He shouldn’t used the distance thing as a scape goat for him not finding her attractive, yes I get it, he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings but she sensed the BS. He gave her no reason to hate her either.

How do you handle this? Cause if he rejected her at the reveal that would’ve been so peak everyone would call him an ass. Cause then we know it’s looks.

And the same time, you want to give it time to grow into something if it can, but also the other person can sense that something isn’t right.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who hates having makeup on whilst my hair is being done?

I live in braids, faux locs or an Afro crotchet style with braids at the front, I hate the greasy feeling on my face after a hair appointment. I see influencers with a full beat or doing their makeup whilst getting their hair done and think “HOW?”

I live in makeup too, but can never have it on during an appt.

Surely I’m not the only one lol

Any recommendations for a good night out?

29F, I like a mixed crowd in terms of demographic and age range and mixed genre of music too. I’ve only ever been to Sophys in Leicester

What pot are we using to cook curry goat? 🇬🇧

I recently moved home, my new place is an induction hob and had to leave my Dutch pot behind because it’s not compatible.

Are there any suitable alternatives? I tried a cast iron Dutch oven but made my food taste horrid. Looking for the best alternative to a Dutch pot that’s induction friendly.

Help!! I need a foundation replacement ? 😔

Guys I’ve been using Estée Lauder double wear foundation in 6W1 sandalwood. I’ve been using it for 6 years (not one bottle, many LOL) Went to restock and saw a new formula!

No one likes it, any recommendations for good foundations I guess?

Warm undertone that caters for the chocolate women too. I’m based in England so will need something I can buy comfortably.

I’m so heartbroken 💔

Furniture shop recommendations

Hi all,

Looking for some places to buy sofas, bedding, mattresses (the big stuff) basically. I’ve just moved into my first rental property at my big old age of 30 😂

Had a look on Google, but would rather visit some places in person and go based on recommendations from people of Reddit, so any must-go places? (Open to any online stores too if necessary).

TIA

Car wash / valeting company recommendations?

Hi all,

Just bought a new car ,still has the new car smell (too strong for me) I usually go to a car wash, but the place I go always seems so rushed and prone to damaging things.

So I’m now looking for any recommendations for a company that takes their time to wash inside and outside.

Yes I know there’s Google, but want to hear from the people of Leicester and their experiences.

TIA
