I'm going to interview for a payroll specialist position and I'm wondering: how much money can you actually make in this profession?

I see that belief in the supernatural is prominent in this subreddit, and Dr. K himself is religious. But I don't see a lot of people pushing back on the supernatural bits. I think that over-fixation on religion and the supernatural can be harmful because you have people here who are suffering with mental health issues becoming obsessed with things like puer aeternus , enlightenment, religious meditation etc. However, there is little evidence to support spiritual claims associated with these things. It's all, ultimately, pseudoscience based on faith, vibes, and tradition. This runs contrary to psychology and psychiatry which is scientific and evidence-based.

He did it yet again in his most recent video, twice (about holding space for emotions). It's like piratesoftware always mentioning that he was a developer at Blizzard for 7 years. Even though it's true, the fact that he keeps mentioning when it's not necessary rubs me the wrong way. Like he'll describe himself as a "Harvard-trained" psychiatrist, not just "psychiatrist". There's no need to mention that your residency was in Harvard when talking about your medical training or background. I can't help but think that it's a form of needless boasting or trying to establish yourself as intellectually superior. You also see him wear Harvard sweatshirts from time to time even though he technically didn't "go" there for medical school proper. I just think that if youre this established in your career, the constant Harvard mentions sound insecure. I hate to be an ass but at this point it's getting kind of obnoxious.

Compare to Alex O'Connor who was educated at Oxford in his undergraduate studies. It was only recently that I discovered that he went there. To my knowledge he rarely, if ever, mentions that he went there in debates (though that could be a cultural difference, I believe modesty is more valued in the UK). But during his discussion with Dr. K, Dr. K kept mentioning his Harvard training.

To keep everything brief, I often find myself fantasizing about being successful and exceptional. I'm not satisfied with being average and mundane, and I want to accomplish great things and create great things. I don't necessarily care about being famous, I just want to be "exceptional". Additionally I'm often envious of exceptional people like talented artists, visionaries, billionaires etc. I also fantasize about amassing millionaire levels of wealth to exert tremendous control over my life, because I'm also terrified of not having control.

I heard that one of the symptoms of NPD is grandiose fantasies and envying successful people. Should I discuss this with my therapist? or is this normal? I'm also terrified that if I am diagnosed with NPD that my therapist will abandon me because NPD carries a lot of stigma in the mental health world. It seems to be one of the most despised mental disorders and there's a whole cottage industry surrounding demonizing and stigmatizing narcissists (as in legit, NPD diagnosed people), how to find out if someone is narcissistic etc. You even see this from Psychologists like Dr. Ramani on Youtube. When I searched for NPD resources on youtube, all I find is those anti-narcissist videos. From what I can see there's very little compassion or empathy for NPD-diagnosed people even from clinical psychologists and psychiatrists.

I was taking a course with a driving instructor and she told me that I shouldn't pull into the intersection while yielding to take an unprotected left turn on solid green or flashing yellow arrow. But a previous instructor told me I can and should do so. So which one is it?

I have a business degree and I'm considering switching to engineering, but UW-Madison's website says that you can't get a second bachelors in engineering, as they want to prioritize people who don't have degrees. Does anyone know if thats actually enforced? Are there any exceptions?

Most mba programs publish employment reports, but WGU doesn't. why is this?

Also, does Anthropic, Nvidia, FAANG, uber etc. recruit from this university?
