Hello your girl needs an opinion from workers that established in their careers- Aerospace welding, electrical, and the very niche field BMET (biomedical engineering technician where you work on hospital equipment).

Sorry I know I post here a lot but I’m just someone who is always curious and questioning my life choices. Basically had a talk with my dad today, told him that college is kicking my ass and that maybe I’m not cut out for it. Not cause I’m not smart but because it’s just not for me. I currently work in the car industry at a small body shop kinda just fucking around and finding out. I’m 22 so I’m still pretty young but I’m trying to lock in.

Basically, dad brought up some stuff I should possibly look into since he dropped the bomb on me that I’m just wired for the trades, just like him, my grandpa and great uncle etc. Anyways, my dad brought up BMET- which you work on hospital equipment, he said it’s a pretty niche field but I’ll have to relocate for apprenticeships which he offered to help me with. Since the field is so niche I have better chances of having a long term career- second thing he brought up was ATDM, which is a training center in north Virginia that trains people in welding, CNC matching, etc. to work on military equipment cause there’s a big market for weapons right now. My only gripe is that- I have to live in Virginia for 4 months, and probably move to a different state and be in a 2 year contract working for one of its sponsored companies. The companies consist of Lockheed Martin etc.

Not a bad gig, could possibly end up back in Texas. Worst case scenario I work in a different state for 2 years and come back to Texas after. Then my last choice is becoming an electrician, I already have my Texas electrician apprenticeship license. My issue is that I’m in DFW Texas and due to Texas being a right to work state we don’t have many unions. However, I would still be able to stay with my friends and family. My family is very small so it’s important I spend lots of time with them, but also it would be nice to live somewhere other than Texas ya know.

I’m pretty good at welding as well but idk I have so many good options I’m just unsure which could bring me more job security.

Hello, im a 21 F and I’ve worked in the auto-industry for the past 3 years. However, i realized that what I want to do is more freelancer based than shop based so im taking the risk and building up my reputation to become a freelancing pinstripe/mural artist.

With this being said, my dad said I should go to school and complete my bachelors degree. (I hold an associate’s right now.) I picked psychology but the extra schooling that I have to do terrifies me a bit alongside the uncertainty of even having a job available.

I found out my university has a BSN program, and I’ve been thinking of transferring my major over to that instead. My friends are nurses that are doing pre-med to become doctors and they love their jobs besides the hardships. Plus, my grandma got her BSN after recovering from addiction and she loved the job as helping others distracted her and helped her be sober.

I’m between nursing and nuclear medicine technology right now but it seems easier to get my BSN at my university than transfer to a CC after school to do nuclear medicine.

This is a long winded thing to say, do you regret picking nursing? Is school intense? Is there a lot of movement in the job (like management etc?). Sorry for this weird post im just really nervous cause uni starts in a week and I honestly wanna make a good living while helping others and having the funds to build my pinstriping business.

Gonna try to keep this short and sweet. I’m a 21F that worked in the auto-collision field, however this field is crashing BAD at least in my area and I don’t have the luxury to move into a different state. I realized that i honestly only wanna do freelance pinstriping/mural work.

Anyways with that said, dad suggested I go back to school (I never really left) to get my bachelors. He said he will pay for everything because despite him being a tradesman himself alongside my great uncle (aviation mechanic for 40 years) said that it would be a really great opportunity. So I took it. I start uni in a week and I left my job at Porsche that I’ve been at for a year. Job was pretty boring but the pay was okay. (18 an hour I live in DFW btw).

With this being said, my friends husband works as a lineman and he keeps suggesting I come work for him. I’m kind of on the fence on moving into health care or going back into the trades. However I heard lineman work is arguably one of the more dangerous trades but it pays….stupidly well. I just know that whichever route I take I CANNOT sit at a desk and type at a computer. So it’s either something in healthcare or back to blue collar after getting this bachelors.

Again, I am not going into debt going to school I am very very lucky to have someone willing to invest in my education just cause.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about this all day today because I’m genuinely frustrated. Sorry if I come off super harsh, but I’m so sick of this weak ass pos.

Her foot literally drove me over the edge, it’s not even broken. If it was broken you wouldn’t even be able to walk on it and she goes to home goods and target for HOURS walking on her INJURED FOOT. I’m so upset because I have a stress fracture in my shin, I can’t walk on it at all. I have to hobble around on crutches for the next god knows how long. Not to mention how EXPENSIVE it is to have to go to the doctor. I’m seething with jealousy that this fat pos can just go to urgent care at any minor inconvenience.

I can’t, I had to wait till the pain got so fucking bad till I was able to get help because I can’t afford my doctors appointment. I have shitty insurance- I paid 300 today out of pocket for X-rays that they said were covered by my insurance. How privileged do you have to be to just throw yourself into urgent care at any minor inconvenience. It fucking pisses me off that this fat pos can’t even hold out for a little bit on what? A little tweaked ankle? I’m furious. I can’t lift or even go on my long walks. I’m a super active person, I play rugby and won’t be able to play at my championships the next upcoming week because of my injury. But at least o got injured actually trying to better myself and not injured cause I’m so unhealthy and out of shape.

F U Alexandra !!!

I worked in the trades for a little bit till I found the niche I wanted to do is more free lancer work + industry suffering through hell right now. Dad said to at least get my BS since I already had my associates from trade school. I won’t have any student loan debt and all my classes can be paid in full up front so no issue there.

With that said, I’ve been applying to just regular jobs. Starbucks, Dutch bros, restaurants, retail and fast food. Not really picky, I just need the hours to work around my schedule. However pretty much every job interview hits me with the “it seems like you’re overqualified” and it pisses me off so bad.

It’s awesome I have blue collared skills but I guess recruiters see that as a red flag because I could basically get a job “anywhere”. Dude just let me deep fry chicken tenders so I can finish out my damn degree it’s not that deep.

I don’t know if it’s because of trauma or the fact that I started having sex at the ripe age of 13 (not a flex by the way I have a shit ton of trauma from it) but now I find casual sex so……unenjoyable.

Throughout highschool I had a lot of hookups because I stopped focusing on relationships and I only wanted one thing which was hooking up. I was also undiagnosed with bipolar at the time and had manic episodes to where I would lowkey put myself in dangerous predicaments just to get my fix. I even hooked up with a cook at my first job when I was a junior in highschool and he was fresh out a prison. Honestly such a rush. But also so awful, sometimes he contacts me with random numbers still to this day I’m 21 now.

However once I got into trade school, and started having sex as just a normal adult in normal relationships. It’s been blah. I don’t get a rush anymore, and my partners I do it with are decent but I genuinely feel like I’m wasting my time when I have sex cause I just don’t really enjoy it anymore. Again, it’s just so….i don’t know sex feels like a chore hence why I haven’t pursued a relationship or casual hookups anymore. Alongside I’m just going through a lot with my career path right now that it’s not really something that I prioritize.

I don’t know maybe I’m just a unfun person now. I don’t even “goon” anymore and i literally left my discord friend group because their sex crazed fantasies felt awkward to listen too especially considering none of them had have sex in their entire life. Maybe I’m just an asshole but I’ve accepted that.

Edit: thank you for all your kind words and support, I’d like to say I am in thearpy and medicated and have been for a very long time. I just wondered if people feel the same way cause I always got shamed for saying no to sex recently.

I was at rugby practice thinking about this, and I truly hope this doesn’t happen just because of the children. But what the fuck is Alex gonna do if Yar suddenly gets up and leaves?

This fat pos has no skills whatsoever, no education, not hustle, no grit, literally nothing. She acted like having HFM was equivalent to being diagnosed with a terminal illness. She keeps using it as an excuse to not do her damn job.

Your job is being a YouTuber, making videos….which…you don’t do at all. And when you do it- it’s absolute bullshit. She’s such an anxious mess just handling Anderson how the hell is she gonna handle two kids? Especially in a scenario where it’s JUST her. She wouldn’t have what it takes to be a single mom at all.

This bitch has done nothing hard in her life EVER, the only hard thing she’s done is give birth. And that’s….it. I’m 21 years old, I’ve done more hard things in my life than she has in 30(I don’t know her exact age) in years. She’s had all the resources to help her- and yet nothing. I try to be very tame but honestly I’ve never seen someone be such a pathetic person in all my life. Her life is genuinely so easy but she makes it SO hard for herself it’s genuinely insane to watch.

Maybe I’m a bit irritated, I’m just so sick and tired of this pathetic sympathy baiting shit she does. Do your fucking job or get off the fucking internet and actually invest in yourself for once.
