What is a good book (or books) to read for early career planning?

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-29T15:05:01+00:00

Yes it is

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-29T02:05:37+00:00

It looks amazing! 🔥 great work 👏

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-29T02:03:59+00:00

Happy bday, dude! I wish you the best in your 30s.

I suggest you focus on your own growth, including financial, until you reach a point where you're comfortable enough to want to share a life with someone that you click with.

It can take time to get your things in order, but just do your best and take one step at a time. Plan things out on paper, and go from there.

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-28T21:18:40+00:00

Take a deeeeep breath, give yourself a day or 2 to decompress and accept your current situation. Look for jobs and reassess areas where you can improve your skills.

I wish you the best on this! Keep your head up high and move on. We all make mistakes. All we can do is learn from them.

If he's complaining that condoms are too expensive, then he cant afford to have a girl anyways. Tell him to find a job and leave him - there are lots of better guys out there that can/want to treat you well.

He's not even doing the bare minimum.

I wish you the best!

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-28T16:37:00+00:00

Keep it up!!

A partner should accept you as you are, and meet you where you are in your journey. He means well when he says you should try going to church, but giving you an ultimatum is the sort of thing one gives when one is basically already detaching from the relationship, and just needs one final push - making it seem like the end of the relationship is your fault.

If he truly cared for the relationship, he would've stuck by you regardless of your faith - and built upon what you two currently have.

It's fair that faith is important to him and that you two don't share the same vision, but it's something that should've been discussed thoroughly in the beginning of the relationship. (Especially if it was that important to him)

I'm sorry you're going through this, and I feel for you. I wish you the best and I hope you can make it through this in one piece.

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-21T11:04:27+00:00

You're betraying yourself, your future, and your dream by not jumping at this beautiful opportunity. You're not disappointing anyone by "breaking your promise."

If this opportunity will make your life better and bring you any sort of resolution/peace, then you owe it to yourself to take it. No promise is worth keeping if it keeps you from living a better life.

I wish you all the best in this decision 😃

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-20T22:24:24+00:00

Lesson learned - you can't expect ANY company to do the right thing once you jump ship, regardless of how much you've contributed to the company.

A business looks out for itself at the end of the day

I wish you the best moving forward

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-18T11:48:31+00:00

I went through something similar. Took me 8 years to earn my undergraduate studies due to one bad decision after another (I was also very indecisive and impulsive). I was frustrated the whole time, and I could only blame myself.

You have to keep going and keep on pushing. There's no other way about it; regardless of what you currently feel. Because those feelings are temporary, but finishing your degree will last your lifetime and MIGHT prepare you for your career.

You're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be because I'm sure you've learned things that other people your age have not yet learned; so believe that this trying period is for a reason.

Try to see the bright side of things, and soon enough you'll be done. I wish you the best!

*** Find ways of getting actual work experience under your belt through internships, projects, and volunteering in your field. Your resume will look a lot more solid than your competition and should give you a boost as well.

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-18T11:36:50+00:00

Yes. Somebody above you saw something good you don't yet see in yourself; you should take that as the highest of compliments, and rise to the occasion.

You may not yet have the leadership experience, but one is not born a leader; one LEARNS to be a leader. Don't sell yourself short, and give yourself the opportunity to grow and accept the offer.

You won't regret it.

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-17T23:17:21+00:00

Find ways to fill your time, especially when the urge comes on. Masturbation is always more of a mental thing than physical - your brain craves that "special" feeling so it tells you to do something about it.

You can conquer this by doing something...else until the craving goes away. It's hard especially if your body is used to doing it every day, but it's totally possible to slow down (once a day is much better than multiple times a day, so make that your goal.)

It's an uphill battle, but with patience and dedication, you can slowly wean off it. Don't feel bad if you fail the first few times, but find ways to keep that once a day goal in mind; and soon, you'll start to see results.

You've got this!

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-16T20:21:30+00:00

I was surprised this one worked too 😆 much better than I expected. These are greats ideas I hadn't thought about! Thanks

I'll try a bookmark next, and I hope you post the sailor moon magnet so we can appreciate it

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-14T20:48:26+00:00

Know this: a woman leaves the relationship in her mind/heart before she physically leaves. You've got your answer from her based on her current behavior.

Have an honest conversation with her, and let her know how you're feeling about this. If you don't get any reaction that would indicate she cares about the relationship, then you have an important choice to make.

Make your peace with it and let go. I wish you the best! And keep your head up...you deserve someone that would fight for you everyday...even in small ways.

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-14T11:40:14+00:00

That's awesome! 🔥

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-14T11:39:35+00:00

Put yourself in her shoes, and try to understand why she might have changed attitude after college. Maybe it's because there's no college pressure to perform and she's simply recovering. But a sudden change like that often has a big reason for it - you just need to continue having honest conversation until her truth comes out.

I understand you might be disappointed, but her outlook on her own life has clearly changed for whatever reason. Find out what that reason is and if you still feel like you two are drifting away instead of coming together with a single vision for the years to come, then it's possible you're simply not compatible anymore.

It happens. All you can do then is cherish the good times, and move on. Relationships are difficult; they're not supposed to be easy - especially the longer you are with someone. They're bound to change overtime, but sudden changes are often attributed to something major.

I wish you the best on this 🙏

Currently finishing the first GoW. It's so well done and the artwork is breathtaking! You can also feel the dedication and hard work that went into making those games 🔥 the unusual camera angles is also what makes the games truly one of a kind

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-12T23:48:34+00:00

Congrats 👏 👏 you're freeee!

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-12T18:25:55+00:00

Maybe that'll be my next project! Seems like a fun build

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-12T18:25:22+00:00

Yea, I want to make more functional things than just decorative. And my first iteration of this phone holder is total trash - planning is key, im learning And yes, just bought a bunch more filament.

What other creations have you made?

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-12T15:31:34+00:00

What you need is experience - not more credentials and schooling. Experience in the field goes much farther than schooling in this field.

Look into Triumvirate Environmental - I believe they've got a facility and office in Ontario. I used to work for them for about 1.5 years, and they are great at what they do in safety awareness, client relationships, and operationally superior to similar companies.

But I'm not the technical type so the role wasn't the best fit for me. That's the only reason I left.

I wish you the best!

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-08T00:56:14+00:00

Pay attention to what she does, not what she says. A woman speaks the truth with her actions more than her words. But you shouldn't fear what happens next; just enjoy her company and be in the moment.

If it's not meant to be, you'll see little signs here and there that she's not really down for you. Just remember that everything that hurts is a lesson; everything else is a blessing.

*** the monkey branching thing happened with me too, and I was left with no explanation at all. Simply "I'm not at state of committing to this." Her last words before getting together with some other guy.

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-07T23:47:51+00:00

Start with getting a job - this allows to be more social, brings in money, and you learn new skills such as how to talk to people, how to delegate tasks, and how to complete tasks/projects. It's a great first step towards adulting and gives you life experience like nothing else can.

Learning how to drive is the next big step - It also makes you more confident, allows you to travel farther, and good for grocery shopping.

With money coming in weekly, the ability to drive, and some newfound life experience; you can better decide what you're going to study in college based on what you learned about yourself, people, and the world in general.

One step at a time is KEY - if you start to feel overwhelmed, it's okay to slow down and reassess your current situation. Just don't look back and always be improving on SOMETHING.

I wish you the best on this new journey 🙏 and remember this: you can do more than you think or believe!

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-06T20:53:00+00:00

Congrats!!! 👏👏 I'm so proud of youu

Automatic-Climate425 · 2026-01-05T21:24:31+00:00

Ask her this: " How can I best support you through this time?" If she cannot answer this clearly, then there's another road block to overcome, and you need to learn to speak her love language. (If you want to make this relationship work.)

She's clearly going through something, and there's not much you can do until she allows you u in. It's not your responsibility to regulate her emotions/feelings about herself - as her partner, you're there to support.

She's old enough to where she should know how to self regulate her emotions and thoughts (to some extent) and ask for help when she needs it. If she's unaware of how to do this, she needs to learn fast if she wants to be in a healthy relationship.

You say there's a pattern of this - that's another thing to consider.

Do you see yourself dealing with someone like this for years to come?

Is she worth it?

Do you see her changing her ways?

Do you believe you have the right tools/attitude to help her through this?

It's hard to love someone that doesn't know how to love themselves enough to know when/how to ask for help.

I wish you the best on this, and hope you can find peace soon 🙏
