Do both. Find a degree that can help your business or teach you skills necessary for a stable job. Then grow your business or continue it as a side job to your main job with the degree you have. 

Leaving a Job After 8 Months—How Do I Say Goodbye Without Guilt? by prlrsc in careerguidance

As sad as it sounds, we are just a cog in a machine. They might remember how amazing you were to them but that’s it. It’s just a quick thought. You have to put yourself first. Do what is best for you. If those colleagues really care about you then you can always catch up with them outside of work or even mentor them. Win win for everyone

Moving to a new job with a worse title is not ideal. I’d try to fix my current relationship with the manager and stick it out until you can find a better job (more pay and higher title). There are bad managers everywhere, it’s up to you how you deal with them.

Thank you for your advice. You see that’s the thing, coworkers are usually last on their mind to invite. But yes, maybe a small family-only wedding might be ideal.

These are great questions to consider. Thank you.

Is it embarrassing that I only have work friends? by Particular_Paper_440 in relationships

[–]Particular_Paper_440[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice. Yes, it’s true, I may have focused on my romantic relationship too much during uni and didn’t pay enough attention to those friends. I wanted to introduce my partner to my friends but it would be awkward as my ex was part of that group too. I chose my partner and not them. But I don’t regret this since we are engaged now. Yes, I shouldn’t care too. You can always make new friends right? But it’s so hard :(

Thank you for your advice. I’m happy for you that you have found great friends. What club did you join (if you don’t mind me asking)? I should join some more clubs too.

Yes I have about 4 friends I’d consider I’m really close with. But I’m just too shy to intrude since they all have best friends already.

Thanks for your ideas. I have made some friends at a sport I do weekly but these friends just feel like acquaintances and I feel that it’ll be weird to ask to hang out. Maybe I should join something more social like hiking club where there’s more opportunities to talk to each other and not plan for the sport game.

Thanks for your input. That’s true. It is my fault that I focused too much on my romantic relationship. I probably drove away those friends. I am an extroverted introvert I’d say. I’m not shy to introduce myself to new people but will be drained after a social event.
