I know everything will work out but the existential dread and fear are still starting to creep in.

hi, im 18 (f) and i was considering getting another two piercings in my ears (conch on one ear, and helix on the other) however, my mom was against it because she thinks that it would affect my ability to get a more serious job that's not retail or hospo. would it really impact my ability to get a job in the future?

btw i have 3 lobe piercings at the moment if that is relevant

Any advice?

I hate studies i don't want to continue anymore but I also don't want to be unemployed in the future 😭

In addition, I'm very passionate about art, I'm a painter, and I design clothes for myself and those around me. I always wished I could have gone to the Institute of Fine Arts, but I wasn't lucky enough to get in. I'm still obsessed with art.that i love

I dual-enrolled via homeschool at a young age, and now I have graduated from an online university, but I didn’t gain any of the actual connections and skills that come with a bachelors degree. I’m thinking about going back to college and starting over again, but it will probably be hard with the lack of scholarships + the fact that I already have a regionally accredited degree on the books.

Maybe I should try college abroad? Or just fake it till I make it..

any advice about my situation would really help! (I’m partly venting here 😭)

Any Canadians who are on a gap year(s) want to be apart of a instagram gc. I’m struggling to find people who relate to me and it’s pretty lonely out here on the gap 😔

Hello!

Fresh out of high school here. I’m giving myself a year at my local community college to figure out what I want to do, but the more time I give myself, the more I’m unsure about what I want my degree to be or what job I want.

I used to think I’d rather be happy (aka not wake up miserable bc I have to go to work) than make money. Now I’m not sure, because I could have more money to support my hobbies.

I used to want to get into astro physics, but I don’t want to write papers, and it feels like every job is just writing academic papers. Then I thought maybe a history teacher, but it’s an extremely competitive market and pays next to nothing, and I’d be stuck in the same area my whole life. Then maybe graphic design, or maybe I should just suck it and be an engineer.

But I’m also really lazy. I don’t get things done, I like spending time at home doing nothing. I don’t know if I’d be able to handle a high-stakes career and education.

Honestly, I’m just looking to hear other people’s experiences with choosing a degree or career path.

I want advice from ~30+ men in building life, priorities, etc.

I am 25 now, I am realising how i wasted my time for 2 years after moving to usa on F1 visa and just spent my time worry free for 2 years and suffering now in the IT job market. Problem with me is that i know what i am capable of but i lack the life skills to achieve what i want. I am changing slowly, improving my speaking skills, and trying to be a better man than i was yesterday. I appreciate all the advice that i can get... especially from people who have been in situations similar to mine (like moving to usa, struggling in job market) i am also open to give advice to 20-24 age..just hit me up…
