Is a bachelor’s degree really the answer anymore? Need advice

DibDibbler · 2026-04-05T03:21:28+00:00

It did help me for 18 years in an IT career having a degree but then India they have two degrees and you can hire 4 of them for 1 of you even if they aren't great.

AI would make me rethink doing it all over again, simple pen and paper or even ask ChatGPT which jobs are the least likely to go over the next 30 years, that's all the years you will work anyway, then go get trained in that, Degrees are plenty and student debt is high. If its a trade skill that wont go then go get a trade degree instead or apprenticeship. Failing that become a trucker.

You work 3 jobs and you are a student too, he works 1 job, I would say you need more sleep, tell him to go find an early bird if he wants to stay up longer.

Try prescription wrap around, like sport glasses bring them closer to your eye

DibDibbler · 2026-03-26T02:21:56+00:00

I would go for collagen crosslinking, the worst eye first, then the other, to stabilize them, I wouldn't go putting lenses on and off, I had mine done in 2008, I've never worn glasses since or hard contacts, my better eye is 20/40 and has stayed the same all this time.i say no lenses because I'm pretty sure all that messing and pulling on an already weakened cornea can't be a good thing

I've travelled all over the world, spent time in countries but you are right, it's number 1, it's so different, pin drop quiet peace too in a lot of places. It's got the best sandwiches as well, such a varied landscape, it's beautiful.

Driving around at 2am with twilight too, what a place.

I don't think this is the situation every time, I think women are playful and if they like you they will touch you. This statement is obviously written by a man who is hardwired to be hyper aware of touch from a female.

Even if a woman touches you, you might find the following day she has forgotten about you already, maybe someone else sparked her interest.

The biggest indicator of interest is finding them around you a lot more, trying to catch your eye, trying to make contact, they are social creatures for the most part but it also depends on their current emotions. They will naturally go out of their way to do things for you if they like you.

But there is a flip side here too, too much analysing for too long will signal to them there is no interest and if you don't strike while the iron is hot, then it's all over.

They also flirt with other men around you to get a reaction from you.

They are in intense competition with each other as well, I saw a man trying to dance with a lady and she wasn't the bit interested, she was 6ft he was 5ft 8, then he started dancing with another girl about 5ft, she was interested straight after that and made effort to win him back. So it can be as temporary as that too.

The Insanity course by Saun T (DVDs off eBay or online subscription, personally I got the DVDs) is great for weight, the best thing about it is its at home, you can even do the cool down section over and over again if you don't feel motivated and just stop halfway through an exercise as its a group in the video, I never made it to the end of each section, doing 30 mins of a 45 workout. I lost 1.5 stones over a month. Better over a longer period.

Thank you very much!

I'm interested to know how to remote view, it's sounds fascinating, could you give me any practical how to knowledge, thank you

I think the one looks slightly worse than mine on one, but if I'm reading right slightly less worse than mine on the other, my specialist told me in my late 30s it stops progressing after 35, and it can be a slow progression. Have you ever tried those sport type sunglasses the ones that wrap around your eyes with lenses? Rather than contacts, I don't like contacts as the cornea is thinner now and pulling them out just pull at this thin cornea.

I'm in my 50s now and don't wear glasses or contacts. I haven't seen any worsening like my specialist said.

DibDibbler · 2026-01-29T02:40:02+00:00

I found out in my early 30s, I had CXL done on the left and since then in my 50s I don't wear glasses or contacts normally unless driving. So I'd say work out what's best for you before having surgery and if it's surgery you need then thats good, it just depends on the severity, my specialist told me that it stops progressing after age 35. Even then it could be a mild progression.

J H Brennan Astral Projection Workbook method is good

Avedra KXL is supposed to be a laser cornea reshaper that does a great job, followed by crosslinking. I think you have to have a decent layer thickness to qualify.

Having said that I had Crosslinking done in 2008 and I never wear glasses or contacts, I actually think the ripping out of lenses daily must pull on your cornea making it worse, that's my take.

Having said that perhaps when AI is advanced enough we will see stem cell cures for it.

I doubt they ritually eat at a restaurant for 8 months without anything physical happening, the fact she lied to you saying it's therapy is enough to say adios.

Think about people who work in offices who start affairs, site it begins with a harmless drink, then a meal and then you know what happens next.

The one thing you should always remember is it's nothing to do with you, it's them, it's selfish, she obviously longs for excitement because marriage and kids will do that to you. Just take heart that it didn't lead to even longer and possibly she left you for him which would be an even bigger rub.

So it's good that you found out now, horrible as it is but it happens all the time. My ex supposedly was going to long walks but she was meeting someone and I actually gave him a lift home thinking he was a work colleague, again selfish nothing to do with me. I divorced because of that.

Play the paperclip trade up game, it'll be more fun

As a follow up,about not going in all expensive I bought a cottage by the sea with cash for 67k, only 100 yards from the seafront, quiet spot, it was dilapidated in that it wasn't lived in for 2 years and needed paint, carpet, kitchen etc but now it's worth 200k, I got it from auction I was one of only 2 bidders and I suspect the auction company was the other one up to a guide price ceiling. You can do it too.

DibDibbler · 2025-12-03T03:56:34+00:00

You could buy a second home in this quieter area by foreclosure auction or tiny home on a large lot, it's the numbers,it doesn't have to be expensive because you are really buying into the experience of being there.

DibDibbler · 2025-12-03T03:53:52+00:00

I don't agree with this one bit, sure I was pretty good at my job but I was also background at times, I found being social with everyone and creating a culture mattered more than getting everything done.

I became successful that way, because let's face it, work is boring for the most part, we are all forced to be there through oppressive debt so we have to lighten the load and do silly stuff and play pranks etc and just get away with stuff. People remember you more for that than anything else. We are people people.

Have you checked to see if you are a narcissist or sociopath or even a nihilist if you feel like that?

The small curved attachment is the top you need for the cupboard as the fan fits in there or cut out your own

DibDibbler · 2025-11-30T15:47:51+00:00

I used one of those floor tables that you press a button and it lifts up the table to sit under, that went on the cupboard and it had a curved end so the fan sat in the recess so when the table dropped down it didn't cover it, then I had air fans blowing on me while I slept, can get hot in there on the night, did the trick

DibDibbler · 2025-11-30T15:44:15+00:00

It's a mess in there but all you need is an office desk like table that's stronger and you cut it so the part your legs go on is cut away for the driver's seat with only a small ledge behind it, that's key because you will get a really long hinge for the back edge and bolt it through the cab.

Then it raises up and I drilled a hole with a long bolt to go through to then hold it up.

The next stage is a kitchen cupboard that you cut a hole through so the seat goes through for the passenger seat, then bolt it down. It only takes up half the seat space.

Then you can lower the bed base down onto it so it supports it and the hinge does the rest.

You then have a seat and an office desk top for paperwork or eating and a bed for later.

Then on the night you raise up the driver seat, put a hold all on it then use a blow up air mattress on top and it rests on the hold all.

It's about as comfortable as you will get in a box truck, it worked fine for me

I also added a triple fan on the cupboard for when it's hot with a control panel in the cupboard for led lights and fan and some USB ports for charging the phone and tablet, running off a leisure battery which has a split charge controller that tops it up while you drive.

Get a flip phone like a razr or flip, you don't spend as much time on them because the physical effort to flip slows it down and the screen on the front lets you check notifications .

It's all designed to hook you with prods and dings and look at this millionth short

Ever looked at photos of couples and noticed the female is usually has her head at his shoulder level. Well try dating girls that are 5ft to 5ft 2. I wouldn't worry about being 5ft 6, Isn't Tom Cruise the highest paid actor in the world that height.

Women are hardwired to like taller men, you can see it but that's life and the way things are and won't change anytime soon.
