I'm an ethnically half white and half indian girl, don't know my indian side of the family since my dad (whose family legally immigrated here) abandoned me and my caucasian mother as a baby. I was born in rural America and look, act, and talk like every other American. I don't have ethnic features besides my light tan skin color. Skinny with casual athletic wear and long straight hair is how I usually look. People tell me I look pretty but I guess that doesn't matter.

Tell me why at work, old or middle aged people who are white Americans greet me in spanish. Sometimes black people do too. I'm not Hispanic. If I tell them I only speak English, they say "well you don't look like it!" and proceed to be rude through our interaction, other times random people will tell me to go back to my country in spanish or people tell me I will be deported/to go back to my country if I don't give them an answer they like. Usually it's a complete personality change from them being nice to instantly racist after I can't do something for them because of the policy.

This has never happened before, even in the rural town I grew up in as a kid no one said anything racist to me, until now. It's pretty much a weekly occurrence. It's starting to make me want nothing to do with anyone anymore.

All this is happening in a blue city and state. I really don't know how to get these racist people to leave me alone? I can't change my skin color. Also, I don't know what to say that won't get me fired.

disclaimer: just because I was born somewhere rural doesn't mean me or my mother is republican. we are against trump and this is not fake, this stuff all happened to me within the last year. Looking for advice or someone to vent to. I don't want upvotes. dms are also welcome

I'm doing accounting and transferring in all relevant courses from Sophia. From what I've heard, UMPI grades based off writing assignments and I've heard some people think it's too much. For accounting, is every single lesson a writing assignment, or is it a mixture of quizzes and writing?

I'm trying this again. I'm open to hearing stories about anything however. I want to hear from those who have had unique jobs and don't mind sharing their experience. I don't want this thread to be full of rants, I want to hear from people with experience. What's the most interesting job you've had in any field? And, the job itself, not just the people you worked with

I don't have any need to stay at home, my family is non existent so I can pretty much do anything and move anywhere.

I'm looking for a fun job because I keep getting bored at work and quitting. I'm female, love to travel, and my major is accounting at the moment,

I plan to get a masters in business afterwards, with a concentration in global affairs. I don't want to waste my life going to a job I hate so I'm open to any and all suggestions

Tell me what unique job you had. I love hearing everyone's stories

I'm 25F for reference.

For example, if someone doesn't talk to me as much for a day or something I tell myself they fucking hate me (but act cool), but the next day they're a lot more talkative and I find out that it was all in my head. And I have to smile and act like I didn't have thoughts of never speaking to them again.

Or, scared of falling in love again because the last time I almost ended myself after they broke up with me. Even though it was over 5 years ago, I still don't feel like the same person, and I turn everyone down. Because when I'm actually in love, if something bad happens it affects my whole thoughts for the entire day which messes up my work etc.

Or when I meet someone that's really cool, even though I just see them as a friend, I have thoughts about them a lot more than I should because I rarely meet nice people.

I feel like I either have always been crazy or life just sucks for everyone and we're all pretending.

Hi, looking for any city or small town in the US that has cool weather during the heat of the day, preferably with somewhat of a job market but will take suggestions and idc how cold the winters are.

The bar is pretty high for that as I'm in Seattle but looking for suggestions. I know Alaska is a choice, and I'm looking into that, but wanted to see what other options are out there (if any).

I posted a complaint that job applicants per job ratio on Indeed was really high on the relevant sub, was told that any extension is a scam, I told them what I used and that it wasn't a scam and the numbers were real, and was then bullied for saying what I used and accused of being the person who created the extension and put it on the web store. Thanks but I'm not that smart!!

• STRICTLY CLEAN, thanks!

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a nice night. I was wondering if anyone had something that was weighing on their chest that I could possibly help with. Normally it is not acceptable to dump your issues on a stranger but I am trying to seeing what topics I am interested in for educational reasons.

I'm not a professional in most areas other than psychology and I am somewhat familiar with the law but please let me know if you want to chat! Thanks.

Also, I would prefer if it was something legal, as in, I won't be offering illegal advice. If you are truly in a bad place and having depressed thoughts, I recommend going to a proper sub and not messaging me about that. Everything else flies.

Some examples of scenarios I would like to help with/ talk about:

Arguments

Domestic Issues

Legal questions

Relationship or Friendship Issues (PG 13 only though)

Political Talks

Moving Advice

Health/Nutrition

Divorce/Breakups

Some examples of scenarios I am not in the mood to answer at the moment:

Mental Disorders Having to do with Oneself (Questions about others having one is okay)

SI

Addiction

Health Issues

Everything else goes. You can just send a quick chat about any of those. Whatever works for you.

• PLEASE STATE WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN CHAT REQUEST. The more details the better. Be aware I may not answer right away, but that doesn't mean I won't eventually.

I am in a less than ideal space and getting a perfect camera situation will be difficult if it is every single course. Yes I can go to public libraries, but with my busy schedule, the tests being proctored is a major decisive factor for me. I am studying finance if that matters. I was wondering if anyone could generously provide their input on how much of WGU requires a camera. For context, I will only be taking 10 classes before I graduate.

Also, are mandatory weekly counselor check-ins required? That would annoy me, personally, it's not going to influence my decision though.

Things have been going good lately, no drama. Tell me why one of my coworkers comes up to and literally shoves the break sheet in my face without saying anything. When they glared I asked if they were okay gently and they got loud out and yelled are you ok in an accusatory manner. Bruh I haven't even done anything to you but okay. I said yeah so what are my break times? They said all sassily "you have eyes" and walked away. I messaged them right after bc I was confused because most people just tell me, in the nicest way possible, I told him why I was confused and they messaged me back saying "you're acting weird, I have have no idea what you're talking about" and showed everyone. Literally seconds after they got done yelling at me and shoving things in my face they were already playing dumb.

Ok everyone is saying to do accounting instead but I specifically don't want to do accounting. I was wondering if anyone graduated and got a job with a finance degree bc I didn't find any success stories and your girl needs motivation 😭

A little about me: I'm 25. I don't care about working for the big companies, but I may move to New York anyway since that's where the jobs are. I may get a masters at a different school down the line, but probably not at a top school. I don't care about being rich but making enough to live comfortably is essential. I don't like math but I passed all the college math classes on Sophia. I was thinking maybe I could be a financial advisor or a bank manager.
