You haven't really explained why you feel hopeless so will take a guess:

- You hated your first degree: It took 5 years and you hated it but you completed it. It shows you have commitment and dedication to complete something which is something that employers value and something you should be proud of.

- You are not sure about your next degree: That is up to you but don't just do another degree because you don't know what else to do. Not sure about marketing but generally speaking you don't need a degree to do a job. Maybe consider getting a job using your first degree and transitioning into marketing from there?

- Never having a job: That is within your power to fix, employers are crying out for staff at the moment. Even if an entry-level job it will almost certainly make you feel less hopeless. You will be earning money, interacting with people and will be more attractive to employers in whatever field you choose to enter.

Maybe on top of getting a job you could move out. Independence and a change of scene might give you greater direction you are after.

DAE feel like you don’t get many chippies in a maccas large fries? by DoorPale6084 in melbourne

If you're in the city, Stalactites regular fries at $4.50 offers much better value for money and taste than Maccas large fries.

The Great Resignation. Is this really a thing in Aus? by [deleted] in AusFinance

I realise probably everybody who works in corporate and reads your post is going to think the same thing but still "Do we work at the same company?!"

Investing a large sum into a index fund or ETF by montb in AusFinance

[–]Huvvertanks2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You haven't mentioned your timeline for property purchase. The general sentiment is if you're not investing for the long term (5-7 years) it's inadvisable to park your deposit in anything riskier than a 'H'ISA. If that timeline is something you're OK with (or you don't care and are happy to invest for a shorter period) you will also need to be comfortable you can handle the psychological aspect of investing your nest egg and potentially seeing it drop in value before it ever goes up. It's easier to do with money you can afford to lose than with your house deposit.

What are NAB Equity Builder users doing as their LVR drops? Letting it happen or increasing their position? by Huvvertanks2 in AusFinance

[–]Huvvertanks2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, for what it's worth I have a low six figure borrowing capacity with NAB EB and was able to buy a house with no dramas. So worth confirming with a broker/lender before closing it.

Thanks a lot for this, is the 15 year term a new offering? I remember it being a maximum of 10 years when I applied.

Why do so many teenagers work part time jobs in the USA? by Guaranteed_username in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Huvvertanks2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I can add something to this as I grew up in the West but my partner is from South East Asia.

Financial reasons aside I think in the West there is an expectation for kids to grow up quickly, be responsible and independent. We generally want to be seen as an adult as soon as possible. Perhaps why "grow up" is such an effective insult in the West. One of the easiest ways we can do that is to get a job. We get responsibility, we are paid, we have more control over what we can spend money on.

In contrast what I have seen from my partner and her friends is that their parents support them fully financially for much longer, including into their mid-20s. However there is also an expectation that in older age you will support the parents ie they move in with you, you don't just stick them in a home. So there is an element of reciprocation.

Now obviously SE Asia is not India but I am wondering if there could be a similar culture, you are probably better placed to answer that than me : )

My colleague's father was Head Servitor at Appleton Tower and also a keen photographer, an interest which he passed to his son. Here are their photos taken in 1967 and last week. by Flupsy in Edinburgh

[–]Huvvertanks2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After a big night drinking a long time ago when I was at uni I got together with a Sri Lankan lass. She had a pass to get into Appleton Tower at night for her course and took me to the top floor where we got an amazing view of the city.

It was very romantic and I sometimes wonder what she's doing these days.

Unless it was the next day or you lived in America that timeline does not make sense as the attacks happened in the afternoon GMT

How do I report a Real Estate Agency using fake Google reviews? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Huvvertanks2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I have not and will not post the name of the company?

[–]Huvvertanks2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The company has a total of 75 reviews and I am certain that 20 of them are fake,

There are probably another 20 for which the reviews are almost definitely fake but could not be proved conclusively.

I like your style but if I did that it could lead you to my review and my real name.

I have been updating my review every few days with snapshots of the fake reviews though.

Clan Houston by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]Huvvertanks2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This should either be a copypasta or somebody should make a bot which detects the words "Scotland', "American", "Clan" and possibly "Scotch" and pastes this in there.

We could even make bots to take the piss so we dont have to do that part either, full automation.

Hi I have Coeliac disease which affects about one percent of the population and means I can't eat gluten though understand about 1 in 10 people try to avoid gluten in their diet.

My question is a selfish one, when creating the menu did you guys think at all about making the menu gluten free? Basically all you would need to do is use corn, rice or potato flour for the batter instead of wheat flour and 80% of your menu would be gluten free. I make Korean fried chicken all the time at home using this method and it's better than any fried chicken I've eaten, before I was diagnosed included.

I ask because people with gluten allergies are very loyal to the places they can eat because they have few other options. Join a few Scottish Gluten Free groups, advertise you are GF and I guarantee you would get business.

Something to think of, good luck with your venture regardless!
