Brutal. I feel for her family at the moment. These jobs just aren't worth it. Take care of your mental health first .

Yeah, especially when there's so much alienation in society ppl find ways to conversate and social media is poor substitute, but it's an outlet people have to conversations. But with Ai and the rise of pseudo not posters I feel understandable ppl are disengaging because the main point was to connect with real people but now it's being overran with bots, content creators spamming their links, and so forth.

Yeah I feel the future of social media is gonna be more private self moderating chats. Especially as AI generate content will fill ppl feeds with more and more clutter it's bound to happen. I don't have the stats on me, but most ppl lurk and rarely post, I read. So with less posters and more lurkers it's becoming less interesting .

Like I only recently started posting a couple of years ago not daily or even weekly but occasionally because, I realized that some body has to post, and why not it me?

I felt this was more common in elementary and middle school, but since high school and well I to college I barely every find myself writing the date on papers. But yeah, I hated reworking the muscle memory for the first couple weeks of the year.

Looks at first the boxer had the judo(ist?), but once the judo(ist?) finally got grappling he took him down! I was surprised he won!

 

The more I see reports like this the more, hopeless I feel. Sometimes, I get to a point where I'm not even depressed but deeply numb by the catastrophe that is happening. Mass insanity we see, mass insanity.

I hate to be pessimistic but I feel more and more that we aren't going to deal with climate in a meaningful way. I feel the governments of the world are taking a approach of benign neglect.

I hear that alot! I feel like for people who are interested in more macro works a MSW has kinda been pigeon holed in micro work sadly. Like I care about social economic policy mostly. I think a MSW is valuable but a MPA might be more so for what I want to do.

Yeah student debt is no joke. I was fortunate enough to be in a position where I could commute and had enough student aid and scholarship to go debt free first 2 years and use savings from working part time to pay next 2 years off in (less than 6k each year). But I wish more companies would invest in proper training than push that on students and college to do (poorly imo).

That's fair, I have done jobs and internships and I have learnt there's just things I don't like about but I tough it out. I wouldn't frame it like that in a job interview tho! I would say it was about to best use my time in college studying and developing a topic area I was passionate in! I go to a small liberal arts college with alot of different topic areas but not a lot of depth, and didn't want to transfer due to financial reasons so this was good compromise.

Thanks for the salesforce tip! I saw a listing on LinkedIn for a Community Development Associate for ICF or something and applied anyway despite having a couple more months till I graduate. I have been looking at consultancy firms and engineering services firms as well. I was kinda stuck on working in local government but I have learnt there's actually alot of options to try for.

Thanks that kinda reassuring!

 

I'm in my last year of college and for some reason, I decided to design my own major, and I feel like I made a mistake, I'm looking at jobs RN and feel like no employer is going to understand it at all. And that I don't really have much in demand skills? (FYI - it's a BA in community development, so kinda like urban planning but more expansive, my major Combines Social Work, Business, and Sustainability)

In y'all experience, does a college major matter much in the long run?

 

I'm going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that's part of my problem.

But I feel college was supposed to be special time in your life and to me it has been indifferent. :/Thoughts?
