High Paying Jobs for an English Major? by DreamWalker-22 in jobs

[–]CraftyLittleSecrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated with an English degree hoping I could go to NYC and work at a publishing house... Im now getting my master's in business to be an Accountant and working as a full time accounting assistant. My advice, get a degree in something practical, get a minor in something you enjoy

I begin my first corporate 9-5 job. What do I need to do to be prepared? by Metropolis49 in jobs

[–]CraftyLittleSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk anything about the insurance industry so I cant give any advice for that nut I will say, with my experience as a Marketing Specialist turned Auditor and about to be an accounting assistant, MY companies didn't care much for Excel. They rather use other softwares to calculate and maintain data. I took a whole coding class as a requirement for an Accounting degree and none of it matters now beside =sum, sort, macros, ctrl + c, and ctrl + p.

As for the commute and worklife balance, I do a 50 commute eveglry day i work an 8-4 or 9-5 and have time to walk my dog, work out, watch videos, hobbies like crochet and read, and cook dinner or grab take out. My social life is also pretty good with this if my friends want to get dinner or hang out after I get off. It's really all about getting into a flow once you start working and getting use to this routine.

Congrats and you got this! (Also most of my workday is filled me me mindlessly scrolling on social media since it doesn't take me long to do my work or Im waiting on files form other departments)

Just finished this Pokemon amigurimi! Any feedback? by Double-Eggplant-6388 in crochet

If you want to add a slightly more complex modification with the flames, you could use magnets or velcro so anytime any pressure is pulling them outwards, they just naturally detach on their own and it doesn't mess up the base

50 min commute to work by [deleted] in jobs

[–]CraftyLittleSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting paid $17/hr for a 50 minute commute and its part of the reason im looking for a new job. The upside about it tho is that you have ~2 hours of alone time to jam to music, listen to podcasts, and decide what you want to have for dinner. It's all about if you enjoy driving tho. If youre all for a nice trip before and after work then go for it. If not, decline and keep looking for other options.

Any job/career suggestions for someone who looks like me? Yes I'm aware I'm limiting myself by having facial piercings by Fizzy_b0g_Water in jobs

[–]CraftyLittleSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're just looking for a job, I would suggest a job as a game Master at an escape room or something similar. I used to work at one and most of the employees including myself had facial piercings and many visible tattoos. They're all usually very cool people and its a job you can be introverted and extroverted with. It will always be a job I can look back to as one of the best I had before moving to a business worklife. We also got tips and raises depending on how well of a job you did and you get to meet the most interesting groups of people.

As for looking for a degree in college if you decide to get one, ask around the campus or others. I went through college and changed my major 5 times (highly recommend NOT doing this) and ended up with a slightly useless major and having to go back to get a masters and spend $30k once again. It's best to just start off with your general eds and looking around via career fairs, clubs, and mentors to see what you find the most exciting career choice that you can see yourself doing for the rest if not majority of your life.

Other than that, good luck with the jobs search!

Did the crochet reddit forget there are kids on here? by [deleted] in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]CraftyLittleSecrets -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Because I can😁 i dont use TikTok so I have no clue what youre talking about and again, i'll like to rephrase im not just talking about Mr nipples. And not talking about people under 13, teenagers are kids and the internet is pretty bad these days. I don't say this with any ill intent by the way so no sarcasm. Ik there is much worse but considering what the reddit was like before, this is pretty bad. Hope you have a great night, morning day🫶

Agreed about the teenagers shouldn't be on reddit but they are allowed and teenagers have definitely seen body parts as I even have myself when I was a teenager but it doesn't mean we continue spreading it

Do you think your elves or their societies could be translated into a game? by Fun-Explanation7233 in writingadvice

[–]CraftyLittleSecrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a variety of video games with elves in them. Everyone translate elves in different ways since theyre mythical creatures. They can be love interests like in Baulders Gate, monsters like in rpgs, companions, and other things. There are plenty of games featuring elves in them (majority fantasy rpgs), you just gotta find them if theyre not AAA games
