hello everyone, I need some ideas for weird/niche jobs that aren't talked about enough. I don't have a degree but a lot of magic in me and I don't need good pay. My dad's colleague's daughter just started cleaning shark tanks at an aquarium (from the inside). I have a scuba diving license so that could work. I wouldn't mind being a cemetery gardener or a water slide tester. Any ideas?

Hi, I (25F) was raped a few nights ago and called the police right after. They arrived at the scene, briefly asked me what happened and took the aggressor's information. There were two witnesses (the rapist's roommates who he's close friends with) that the police didn't really talk to either. Then an ambulance took me to the hospital for health and forensic examination and all of that stuff. I went to the police station a day later to press charges. I told my story and was told I should wait for a call about the trial date. Now I'm worried I will lose the case because I feel like the police should've done more at the crime scene? Why didn't they collect evidence? And why didn't they talk to the witnesses more? Will my only evidence be "my side of the story" and the physical examination?
And one more thing, about 30 minutes after I got to the hospital a nurse told me a man tried to visit me there. They told me his name but it didn't ring a bell, so they didn't let him visit. The only people who knew I was brought to the hospital at the time were the aggressor and his roommates, but neither of them knew my name. So some random guy trying to visit me after this happened to me really freaked me out. At the police station I asked if there's anything that can be done to find out who that person was, they just told me "not really". Shouldn't this be taken more seriously after what happened to me? I'm genuinely scared for my life.
This happened in Spain.
Thanks for any advice and help!
I (25F) was raped two nights ago and went to the police station today to press charges. I don't know anything about these processes and have never done this so I'm scared I did something that will harm my case if that makes sense.
For context, I'm German living in Spain, and my Spanish is not the best.
Right after the incident I called the police and they came to the scene and took the aggressor's information. Other than that they didn't really do much, I thought it would be normal procedure to look for evidence at the crime scene? They didn't even really talk to me and didn't give me any information about filing a report - I was told later that it was due to the language barrier, but the police officers spoke English well and I think they should've at least given me some information about filing a report. Instead I was just taken to the hospital and stayed there for forensic examination and all of that.
24 hours after leaving the hospital I went to the police station to press charges. They got me a translator and he was the only person in the room with me. Straight away I was told if I want an attorney, I would have to make an appointment. As I just wanted to get this over with I said I don't need an attorney. I'm worried that that might have been a mistake because I'm not sure if how it was handled was right?
The translator didn't seem to know a lot about any legal stuff, so whenever I had a question he left the room and asked someone else, and then gave me vague answers or told me "I'm not sure".
I basically told him the whole story in detail, he wrote it down in Spanish and handed it to the officers. I was told that now I should wait for a call about the trial date. I had some questions/concerns that remained unanswered:
About 30 minutes after I got to the hospital, I was told a man wanted to visit me there. They told me the name and it didn't ring a bell, so I got really worried because no one except the rapist and his male roommate who he is close friends with knew that I went to the hospital. And neither of them know my name. I told the translator this and that I'm worried for my safety, so he asked an officer about it who basically told him "I don't know, we have no information about this". Shouldn't this be taken more seriously considering what happened to me?
I also asked if I will have to face my rapist in court. After asking the officer, the translator told me "We don't know."
I'm now very anxious about the trial since I don't know what to expect. Will I get an attorney? Will I have to repeat everything with the rapist present? Is there anything I can do to get more information about the visitor at the hospital? I'm scared I will lose the case as they didn't investigate the crime scene and didn't even talk to the roommates who could be possible witnesses (the sounds woke them up). Did I fuck up by not asking for an attorney? How do I go about this process to make sure I get justice? The past few days have been hell and I don't want all this process to be for nothing.
Thanks for any help and advice!

I (25F) was raped yesterday and spent the last 15 hours in the hospital. When I get home and finally get some rest I'll go to the police to file a report. I'm from Germany but am currently living in Spain, so all my family is in Germany. I have a good relationship with them, so I kinda feel obligated to tell them about what happened but I don't know how. I had no problem telling my friends and they've been amazing, taking care of me and not leaving my side. But when I think about telling my parents and sisters I feel embarrassed and ashamed. Maybe I don't need to tell them? I don't want them to worry especially since I'm in another country. I've been on a sick leave for the last few weeks because of some mental health problems, so they've already been worried about me and now that this happened it feels wrong to withhold the truth?? They ask me regularly how I'm doing so if I don't tell them about what happened I'll just be lying pretending everything is fine. But how do you tell something like this to your family? What would you do?
