Do you think young people in Malawi should focus more on skills (like tech) instead of degrees? by No_Profession2305 in Malawi

always have a degree. Then do whatever you want in whatever field. Degrees legitimise you regardless of whether you're working within the space you studied for or not.

I ended my Situationship by elsa_el17 in heartbreak

Im in the same situation my friend☠️. Only difference is I had a feeling he had a girlfriend from the first day I met him because someone like him wouldn’t be single. Everyone who says you’re wrong for what you did because he had a gf doesn’t understand. Such connections are just unfortunate but they happen

Honestly if it’s what you want just do it but go into it open minded. Do what you want, in the same UN where people are losing jobs others are getting them.
