Hi everyone,

I'm feeling really stuck when it comes to choosing a career path and could really use some advice from people who may have been in a similar situation.

I have a bachelor's degree in Public Health and have worked internationally for the past eight years with the U.S. Embassy and USAID. Originally, my dream was to become a diplomat, but over time I've realized that I'm no longer passionate about international relations, diplomacy, or anything related to politics.

With the recent administration making significant cuts to many international programs, I've also started thinking seriously about leaving this field altogether. Beyond the uncertainty, I'm honestly mentally and physically exhausted and ready for a completely different direction.

I've considered getting a master's degree, but the problem is that I have absolutely no idea what I want to study. I know I want a career with growth opportunities and stability, but I don't know what would make good use of my experience while allowing me to pivot into something new.

Has anyone else gone through a complete career change after years in one field? If so, what did you do? What master's degrees or industries would you recommend exploring for someone with my background?

I'd really appreciate any advice or perspectives. I feel like I'm at a crossroads and don't know which way to go.

Hello everyone,

I’m an African American woman married to a Serbian man, and we’re considering a trip to Cape Town, South Africa. My husband is an avid kitesurfer and has been kitesurfing since he was a child, so Cape Town has been on our travel list for quite some time.

We’ve traveled extensively as a couple and generally haven’t had any issues. The only place where we experienced significant discomfort was Zanzibar. Many people assumed I was somehow working for my husband rather than being his wife, which led to several awkward and frustrating situations throughout our trip.

Because of that experience, we’re a bit hesitant about spending thousands of dollars on another destination if there’s a chance we’ll face similar treatment. We’ve heard mixed things about South Africa, particularly regarding its history and ongoing racial dynamics, and we’re wondering what the reality is like for interracial couples visiting Cape Town today.

For those who live in Cape Town or have traveled there recently, what has your experience been? Would an interracial couple attract much attention, or is it generally a non-issue? Have you encountered any discrimination, uncomfortable assumptions, or other challenges?

We’d really appreciate honest feedback before making a decision. Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

Hi everyone! Does anyone have the original copy of Hollywood babylon? From Candace Owens book club? Like a PDF?

I want to learn about Hermetic principles, but I am a Christian, and whenever I bring it up, people think it’s demonic. I don’t know—I’m just very curious about it. I want to learn about it, and I also want to understand Egyptian civilization and its connection to it. I want to ask if anyone knows any documentaries or books I can watch or read, but they have to be beginner-level since I want to fully understand it.
