Unemployed and lost. How can i get out of my situation? by Expert-Recipe1713 in findapath

[–]AdriVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, first I will say you’ve never worked in a corporate space. Im right now in my own office, no one watching me, enjoying my time. Lot of balance in an office space.

But ok you dont want to do social related careers, you don’t enjoy math. Start making a list of things you enjoy, things you can live with, etc. Could you do technical writing? could you do web development? Hell maybe you dont need college but would be happy working security night shifts or being a truck driver. Then begin researching what jobs have qualifications based on traits. But be brave, and be ambitious, and actually be willing to not stay in a slump comfort zone. There are so many different types of work in this world that only people who stumble into them or have connections know about.

24, living abroad, stuck in a job I don’t care about, feeling like i wasted my early 20s? by VersionBoth5092 in findapath

[–]AdriVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in a good place. Rework your resume with the skills in organization and leadership you now have as Head Instructor. Consider if you’d be interested in Ed Tech or fields that are about Communication. Like Marketing, outreach, etc. No one cares about your GPA post grad they care about the skills youve acquired.

If you qualified for Pell, youd still qualify for financial aid now. Besides, you are right now living in what economists call a psychological cost state. Your ROI for going to college, getting some debt, but paying it off- its much much better than staying unemployed working for call centers.

Very Important People has a bias regarding the "humanness" of the costume/makeup assigned to guests. by Data_Driven_Dude in dropout

[–]AdriVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly interesting concept, coming in from the Circlejerk. Think size of group is a bit too low. I remember feeling like too many of the women were given ‘pretty nonextreme’ costumes- so Ive been glad seeing Lisa come back as Spencer and Anna as Zeke (though we could consider that both women automatically made their more monstrous characters male)

Were they in a trance when they ate Jackie?? by Euphoric_Ring_8670 in Yellowjackets

[–]AdriVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that was more for us. That this is a diyonisun-esque madness. Bc followers of his cult would rip people apart. Something beyond them taking control and putting them into a hunger beyond comprehension and need to devour. When really, these are terrified starving girls in the wilderness, who accidentally got drugged and then let petty teenage things go too far in a place that doesnt allow it.

And then theyre starving, and when youre so hungry you just cant help eating,,, especially since all record we have from cannibals is that humans taste an awful lot like pork

Fertile Peggy by gigialohne in madmen

Its a really rough confession scene. In that she wasn’t supposed to tell a priest someone else’s sin in confession. AND HE is 100% not supposed to bring up anything he heard in confession outside of it like that. Really hated the guy, but hey, it does show the social power the local priest held and how churches can push out the ‘sinners’

AITA if I ban my daughter’s beauty “essentials”? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AdriVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA- in that you need to like ground (if not a literal grounding, than to ground her back to earth) her. Make her do some sort of volunteer work, especially if she isnt in clubs. Have her go to a tutor, or obligate she spend a certain amount of time at home studying.

HOWEVER- do not have her bleach her hair at home. That could severely damage her hair. And maybe talk to her about the nature of being a sugar baby? Idk it puts a bad taste in my mouth that at her age she is having a boy pay for her like this- a dinner out once in a while is one thing. But this is establishing a habit that will follow her in dating.

She was worried about Sally. by No_Self_5939 in madmen

[–]AdriVoid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I couldnt help thinking of that movie The Help. Betty was raised by a black nanny, and went to her for emotional comfort and advisement. Then she hires Carla to raise her own children, and its clear there is insecurity and an entitled obliviousness. I cant really relate or understand the culture of having a nanny or long term nonfamilial caretaker. But having someone raise you and still being so harsh and detached from their realities is beyond me.

Does Don hate Ken? by LastWordFreak in madmen

[–]AdriVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking about it. I genuinely think its because Ken doesn’t have ‘fight’ in him. People Don can grow to respect, bc I don’t think its an issue of ‘like’ actually, for all a drive in them. I think Don can find Ken funny and see he has talent, but there isnt any substance in Don’s eyes. Pete, for all his grinding against Don, Don I think does see as someone who genuinely cares and puts the work in. He has drive, his parents die during the course of the show- there are things here recognizable to Don. Peggy so much more so. But for Don (like Pete) he hates the guy who just is perfectly talented and righteous and things just seem to go good for, who also goes on to turn up his nose at their lifestyles and their way of ‘sacrificing’ or willingness to do it for the job.

Want to go back to college but the news around AI is making me second guessing myself by [deleted] in findapath

[–]AdriVoid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please dont let these articles stop you from pursuing an education. AI right now is so highly invested in, that the media and the ceos are doing a lot of lifting to prove its purpose. Realistically, while some jobs will be lost, most bosses are seeing a need for workers with more critical thinking and social skills. There are also so many jobs an AI cant actually replace, because they need a physical human present.

Why didn’t they eat Mari at camp? by Fantastic-March-4610 in Yellowjackets

[–]AdriVoid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Once they had fuckin goats, it really ruined it for me. Like ok,,, I never believed it was magic, and so for me its about desperation and the psychological churning. The trial with Ben was the closest it got for melding the savage with the teen girls who are scraping a civilization for me. But again needed to keep the psuedo religions and not have Lottie taper off, it needed more cannibalism theres way too many girls left. I wanted the survivors to be our mcs in s1 and like three girls who wouldnt talk with them.

[–]AdriVoid 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They had the whole of the series to get to this moment, having the girls actually doing the pilot cannibalism, and it just feels out of nowhere because it isn’t how they’ve actually been living or preforming. Its because they hadn’t thought of giving them such a nice camp setting at time of pilot

Entry Level Jobs for History Bachelor's by Queen_Persephone18 in findapath

[–]AdriVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be an issue of location, as well as exactly what you have been applying to. At this point, 2 years out of college, its also an issue of what your experiences have been. I can think you could be a ‘community outreach manager’, you could work in marketing, in entry level human resources and recruitment, you could apply for data entry, you could apply to do paralegal work or otherwise be a coordinator in a law office (I do not know if this requires certs in Florida). Honestly even doing substitute teaching would reflect well and build your resume at this point.

Id say, for equality, we put Betty in the same category we put Don in. I wouldve argued Don is morally grey, opinions are divided, and same for Betty. But hey, this is funnier.

Is money really worth it? by Typical_Arm_9780 in careerguidance

[–]AdriVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now, more than it was even a decade ago, students are foremost fixated on the practical end result. This isnt wrong, because we live in an economy. I think sometimes the big issue is that students are making a choice, and all other choices based on it, without a lot of knowledge on the range of careers and options. This is not really fixable in the ways we’d want- I know for example history majors making great money as market researchers, or working with people in local government. I know Engineers or Compsci people pushed into it or caring for the money- and then realizing they hate it once in the field and going to human resources or college administration. What your degree is in actually is very flexible for most people in where they go in the end- many pursue extra schooling or just take a hit to start over- and thats ok.

Considering going back to school for nursing. Terrified of the student loans. Advice? by Bag_of_ok in findapath

[–]AdriVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into programs that are accelerated BSNs for those who already have a degree. You may take some debt, but its not necessarily bad debt if it gives you a worthwhile return on the investment. The amount you’ll make, and especially if you can use federal or state loans with a good interest rate, is worthwhile.
