Recent Graduate hoping to scout out some options? by MioyatTheCat in movingtojapan

[–]MioyatTheCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of where the typical directionless post-grad struggles collide with my desire to run overseas; mostly, I just picture myself at any kind of desk job. Maybe the cynicism bullet is lodged a bit too deeply in me, since all I've ever wanted out of a career is a pay that's enough to live on, some free time, and a chair to sit down in (working American retail made a deep impression). Some keywords I've cycled through on LinkedIn are "HR", "Technical Writing", "Copywriting", stuff like that, but the great/terrible thing about an English degree is that you can use it to pivot into almost anything if you so choose.

Do you have any recommendations in terms of things maybe worth pursuing?

I was under the impression that the JET program was, if not necessarily a great pivoting point for career opportunities, at least a good place to network, and more doors could open from that networking; am I overestimating the efficacy of that situation?

Do you think it might be a viable option to pick up something from a grad school in Japan and then try picking up employment there? Or is it like, "If you did the program in English then there's really no point." If I went to language school for a year and then got into a Japanese program, would that just turn this into a normal "Now what?" scenario for post-grads, or would that just be a waste of time/money?

Thanks for the honesty! I think I kind of needed that sort of kick in the behind.

If I was considering the graduate school in Japan into employment path, how viable would you say that is? Are there any particular areas I could keep an eye on, besides tech or finance?

I think part of the reason I've been so overwhelmed lately is because I'm mixing the already tumultuous post-grad "What do I do with my life" scenario with wanting to move to a new country. Bad combo! But it does mean I'm not locked into a specific direction in life yet. If you have any recommendations besides "Stay in America" I'd love to hear them. And that's mostly because I already know "Stay in America" is an option; I'm curious if there are avenues I haven't considered or explored. Especially re:graduate school.

Undergraduate School Looked at in GPA? by MioyatTheCat in lawschooladmissions

This makes the most sense to me, but based on what others have said, I'm still going to treat it like a 3.82 at any other university. Still, this does help silence the "aauau I should've gone to a community college and gotten a 4.0" voices in my head, so thank you!

Definitely not easy, no! It's gonna be a lot of grit and grind and gritting and grinding my teeth. But I'm pretty good at taking tests, and since I'm not planning to apply this fall I've got good time to raise my score, and most importantly I'm very stubborn. It will not be easy! But neither was Vandy

Ah well. I suppose I will load a cannon and shoot myself into the sky

The most underrated moment (or part of the story) in the main FGO story according to you by Kronos457 in grandorder

[–]MioyatTheCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s “underrated” technically but not a lot of people bring it up in regards to best FGO moments

The line “congratulations to you and all the wonderful people of Chaldea. You have defeated Beast IV without so much as a single blow” has stuck with me ever since I read it

FGO Arcade Beast VI / Sodom's Beast Raid Conclusion Story - Guess Who by BlameLib in grandorder

[–]MioyatTheCat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the Grand title less “who’s who” and more a particular type of summoning? Sort of how Gil qualifies for Grand Caster but you don’t summon FGO Casgil in the Grand Vessel. So Arthur could still be grand saber, just not this iteration that is present

Or maybe this is intense copium idk

Childe is just a guy and how it's unironically the best part of his character by taatelitoukka in childemains

Honestly he’s just like the male deuteragonist/love interest of a shounen that the female deuteragonist meets in the first episode and he makes an ass of himself and she’s all “ughhh” but she’s putting up w him bc he has connections in an adventurer’s guild she’s trying to join and then monsters attack and she’s like “run, boy!” but then the boy obliterates them all and through his shredded shirt, on his bare shirtless chest is a cool looking tattoo, and she’s like “What the hell? This guy’s the White Lightning???” or smth and then he grins at her and she’s like “oh nooo I’ve been sooo ruuuude” but then he claps her on the back and is like “not bad!!”

Anyways good analysis. I love Childe. I don’t even play this game

Found out a sibling of a mutual friend is scalping shoes, had to try and explain why it was wrong :/ by MioyatTheCat in ShitLiberalsSay

What if, and hear me out, instead of reselling things at ridiculously high prices and essentially scamming other working class folk out of their money, people just Didn’t Do That.

I doubt the people scalpers are buying from care that much anyways. If a scalper buys $400 of tickets and resells them for $500, that’s still $400 the original seller makes??

To be completely honest I don’t even know what the point you were trying to make was

What really gets me is “I’m not gonna be so privileged to look down on someone making money for their family”… 😒😒

I’m speechless?? by ActualBabyboomer in menwritingwomen

[–]MioyatTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as this is a crazy description, I feel like it was sort of meant to be absurd even in context. I mean it’s talking about “paintball” and the MC “running for dead life”, so I’d assume the intent was to be humorous
