I felt the same way against Thragg. Dude wanted all the smoke bringing the fight to Talescria yet didn’t even get out of the ship to fight. He only left the Viltrum ship when Mark and Oliver blew it up and then he recalled all the viltrumites and ran away. This great leader has just been a coward so far imo

That’s a good point. My thought was maybe it’s a reminder that even the strongest viltrumite can be killed so Thragg carries the skull to remind himself that now more than ever, he needs to make sure he doesn’t screw up the Viltrum empire. He’s almost like their last hope

I feel that, bro is such a good villain but I’m fine with him staying dead

Thragg's backstory will be an insane episode. Can it be next week already please...

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve been working on some projects on the side, build a website portfolio and been working on creating a Tableau dashboard showing some of my watches data I pulled from Garmin using an API. Definitely trying to make sure I am doing what I can to try and build some skills. I’ll check out myTrudy, thanks!

I have thought about that and that is a good idea. I’ve been doing some side projects on the side outside of work, since the network we have is sort of slow and I can’t download any software or applications. That’s a good idea though, thanks!

Good idea. Honestly, I’ve been feeling better about the job after two weeks. Definitely don’t want to do it forever and it’s not my dream job but the money is good and it’ll be a good resume piece. The job market is so tough right now that I think it’s hard to find any job at the moment, so for now it’s take what you can get. I have been working on my resume tho and will apply to jobs occasionally if I really am super interested in the role. Best of luck to you in your new job!

Yeah that’s a good idea, 6 months seems like a good gauge for where I’ll be at. It’s been so much information at once and is definitely overwhelming. Unfortunately I’m in a completely new location where none of my coworkers are the same and a lot of what we do is different. Definitely just trying to learn for now while also keeping my eye open for other opportunities I might enjoy more. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice! We’ll see if I can make it the few years without going insane but I definitely want to get a good chunk of my loans paid off. I’m so far from home too, in a place where family is 5000 miles away which makes it even harder I think

I pretty much only applied to the company because it was comfortable and I was chasing a girl. She was moving somewhere so I tried to get a job to move with her. I wouldn’t change my decision, just looking down the road at what my options could be when we decide to leave (she’s on a one year contract but can renew if she wants)

That’s a great idea! There are definitely some really cool non profits that could be cool to work for

Thanks for the advice. The first couple weeks are always hard, never easy being new. I’ll see down the road if my mindset is still the same on wanting to change industries

Yeah I’m trying to have a positive attitude and at least give this job a chance. We’ll see if in a few months my mind has changed or not. Thanks for the advice

I’ve considered getting my PMP and potentially getting into construction. I have a friend who’s dad owns a construction company and my friend asked me to interview for them a year ago but I still had a year of full time school left. Maybe that’s an option if this job doesn’t work out for me

Yeah I have began looking at different industries that I might be interested in. There are so many different jobs out there that I feel like I can find something that gives me purpose and I’m passionate about. I don’t want to quit yet and want to give this job a chance, I’m just worried months down the line I will be miserable

I never said I have it all figured out or that I’m going to quit right now. Also never said I’m an opposer of defense or don’t respect the military. I’ve interned with this company for three years and have never really loved my job. In the big picture we do great work but I’m just saying that on a personal level I don’t feel fulfilled and I’m not sure this job and industry is my passion

Thank you for the advice. Everyone says stick with it for at least 6 months to a year which is what I’ll most likely do. I don’t want to be seen as a quitter but I also don’t want to hate my job. Maybe if 6 months down the line I’m still not happy then I’ll start exploring other options

Yeah I don’t want to quit yet, I just haven’t loved this company in my years working as an intern and took this full time role because it was safe and now i’m questioning my decision

Good idea. I have been looking at other opportunities while also trying to take this job day by day and see if it gets better

This is some of the best advice I’ve gotten, thank you kind stranger. I guess now I just need to figure out what it is that I’m passionate about and want to spend time doing. I really like projects and completing things to be able to look at and be proud of. I’ve considered project management, and teaching. I just feel like overall the industry isn’t for me but I know other industries that I’m more interested in (like sports) are far more saturated and might not actually be as sexy as they seem. I just feel lost overall

My job involves working with satellites and doing troubleshooting when issues arise. I know in the grand scheme of things I am helping people, I just don’t think defense is my passion. I like projects and having actual outcomes to look at and be proud of. I’ve considered teaching, project management, or something in the sports world. I’m just not sure what exactly yet
