I’m not sure if it’s the same thing, but there seems to be some login problems with Lemmy.world (I’ve been experiencing those for the last 2-3 days when trying to log in from a browser).
Got blackout drunk and woke up in a different city in a random hospital in Spain when I was 15. Loads of crazy details to that one
Police got called to house party we were having after we got into a fight while tooled up. Left everyone in the house and turned all the lights off whilst us three ran out the back door. I went back and somehow convinced the police to leave. Loads of crazy details there.
Got blamed for rioting in a newspaper which was bullshit and a total lie.
Fell off a house and shattered my left foot
Throat ruptured after surgery and nearly died alone in my bathroom
Dm me and I’ll find the article. Was during the riots that started in London and got down to Chatham after that kid got killed by the police. We literally just lit a campfire in the park like we usually would and they said it was rioters lol.
I also still have my hospital discharge sheet from Orihuela too haha. I walked 12km in the wrong direction towards Murcia airport.
It’s always a compliment when people think I embellish my stories. Best part is I still hang out with people involved in some of them so when my gf would hear their sides of shit she’d be amazed how it always backed up what I told her cos she couldn’t believe some of it.
This is certainly not an easy task! Hell, I am 46 years old and still figuring out life. 🤣 In all seriousness though, you will probably change careers 2-3x in your life or more. Maybe just figure out something that you could see yourself doing for the next 5-10 years and have a go at it? That would be my recommendation. Choose a career that will at least pay you enough so that you can live with a bit of comfort.
Yeah that’s probably the mindset I’m gonna have. A lot of people throughout the internet have been saying that you usually end up switching career paths a few times so I’ll probably try to look for something I can see myself doing for the next 5-10 years. Still gotta find that thing though!
It’s quite a challenge. Start with something that you think might interest you, look it up on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website. See what kind of education it requires and what the typical career progression is. Normally I don’t trust government websites but this is considered reliable and politically neutral.
When you start a career, you begin at what they call entry level. Then as you gain experience, you get promoted or you seek other opportunities in the same field that pay more money. Career progression is basically how you are advancing in the field.
Are you in Quebec? The CEGEP system there is specifically a great and cheap way to try out multiple career paths. It’s like a mix of trade school and the freshman year of every university faculty.
It’s still a system that sort of pushes you into university without any experience of what doing a real job is like, but it’s at least a good way to explore the academic side of a wide variety of subjects.
