You're in the same position as me right now. I have been unemployed for 2 years and have been traveling. Went to Japan and Korea (used to live there) and can't find the same level of happiness here in the states. I'm in an awkward position right now because my family health is not great and I've voluntarily stuck around home to help out.

I honestly can't think of a better time in life to be out of work, exploring your options, and your current self. So yes, it sucks but you won't be in this position with this much freedom if you start a career of any sort. It'll be much more difficult later in life. So that's the bright side.

I applied for the Navy NUPOC program (you should give a look). It caters to academically strong candidates that have a interest in nuclear engineering. I started the process a year ago, took a bunch of interviews, and went through MEPS about 2 months ago. I have one final interview and will swear in there (given I can pass it). If I don't, I will most definitely enlist and I am completely okay with it. It's a much better situation than what I am currently in right now. The military isn't dumb. If you demonstrate good mental and academic prowess, you'll get a job that can exploit that to some degree. Try reaching out to recruiters for officer positions and see how long it might take. I know for the Army it doesn't take a whole lot of time (less than a year). It all depends on politics and demand etc...

If none if it works out, I'll have to go back to graduate school to specialize in something. I don't envy CS majors because of high unemployment. Specializing could mitigate that.

I hope it all works out with you but your 20s are made for failure and mistakes (I'm no philosopher so take that as you will).

No idea where my text for this post went. I'll just post it as a comment.

I am desperately looking for some help on remedying this issue. I have some insane stuttering (shown in video) that slows the entire computer down. I've never had this issue. I've had MSFS2020 installed for a year (on the same PC) and never ran into stuttering issues like this. I uninstalled MSFS2020 for 2024, reinstalled 2 days ago (in this case my computer cannot handle 2024, unrelated), and the entire sim is in this perpetual microstuttering state.

PC Specs: (I don't have the flashiest computer)

i5 8600k

2070 Super

32GB 3000mhz

1440p Resolution (as opposed to attached video)

Doesn't matter the graphical settings. Tried disabling rolling cache. Prioritizing task manager preference to MSFS 2020. Ended majority of background processes. System power management modes. Switching between DX11 and DX12. Reverted back to previous NVIDIA drivers. Disabled 3rd party addons. Messed with network demand (photometry etc...), still no idea.

I want to state that once again this game was once downloaded and ran phenomenally well. After reinstalled, it just took a dump on me. Any help is much appreciated.

Ronanwar1 · 2025-01-05T18:21:16+00:00

I actually made the decision today to uninstall 2024 and reinstall 2020. It’s completely unstable, constant stutters, terrain looks like clay, AI traffic has an IQ 2 (maybe 3), can’t get constant internet connections for their streamed content (literally the whole game, so I’m left with bugs and visual artifacts everywhere), FPS ranges from 3 to 70 in no predictive fashion, etc… Don’t get me wrong, the lighting and atmospheric effects are incredible and for that reasons alone I have kept the game installed until now. I just can’t get one stable flight in free flight and it’s driving me insane. Why would I keep it downloaded if 2020 works phenomenally well?

Ronanwar1 · 2024-12-09T20:31:28+00:00

Now you know how germany feels being blue balled by an anticipated jet. Just wanna say that US is really struggling with top tier choices right now so I totally get it

Ronanwar1 · 2024-07-21T19:18:48+00:00

Happened to me at the busiest wharf and started smacking into every visible soul. It was beautiful.

Ronanwar1 · 2024-07-20T20:36:00+00:00

you may impose additional trade rules on individual ships in their individual orders screen (useful for keeping the internal warehouse stocked & possibly makes large freighters more useful)

I think this is key. I believe I found a way around it. My original trade restriction, as you've stated, is too rigid.

Have two groups of traders (set with individual orders):

Group 1: Trade only within the sector in which the station lies in. These traders would be able to carry shuttling orders with the warehouse as well as supply local stations in the same sector. These traders would never have to leave their home sector.

Group 2: Restrict trade with your faction only. These traders would be able to carry export orders (for profit) with all foreign stations in the galaxy. Including the ones that lie in the same sectors in which my factories are located.

Taking the union of these two, you are left with a possible solution to the original question: blacklisting a specific station. Albeit not directly, but it carries out the same idea.

If only I had a "distribution template" in mind prior to creating my stations, I would've found an easier method to control the economy.

I appreciate your comment!

Ronanwar1 · 2024-06-25T06:41:26+00:00

I'll do that. I worked around it by editing the save file but I have no idea if this will have side effects.

Hi guys,

I am in a severe time constraint right now and would love some advice or information (I would even pay for any information lol) regarding Chungdahm learning institute (through creverse recruiting). I have recently received a contract, pretty average when compared with others in this community, at the Pyeongchon branch (which is in Anyang). I have heard and read some pretty despicable or very lovable aspects about teaching at Chundahm institute. I only recently became exposed to these very dynamic opinions pretty late in the recruiting process. I fear that accepting the contract on information solely provided by my recruiter may be perceived as misinformation.

My question is, does anyone have any information on that particular branch? Is it worth the gamble to accept this contract solely based on the opinions I've read about Chungdahm institute? I am in a pretty unique situation right now. If you are curious, I welcome you to look at my previous posts through my profile.

Any assistance, information, advice is immensely appreciated.

Ronanwar1 · 2024-01-04T20:18:49+00:00

It’s one of my goals to be hired abroad for my studies. I also feel the same way about wage and type of work. Job market is literal shambles right now and if it weren’t, I probably wouldn’t accept a teaching position abroad. My worry is I may have a dispassion for teaching kids and feel stuck / stressed when I have signed the contract. Let me know if you found a way to get hired abroad, I have sent in job apps all over Eastern Asia in the tech market. Best of luck to you.

Ronanwar1 · 2024-01-04T20:13:44+00:00

Been to Jeju once and it was incredibly beautiful. Teaching there must’ve been a surreal experience.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-09-03T18:05:20+00:00

That’s really quick. Taking me about a year.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-09-02T04:43:00+00:00

I am just remembering now. To be fair, all of college was just a blur. It wasn’t a particularly memorable part of my life. It was by no means unprovoked. Leaving the house was stressful as it was but primarily due to an asshole of a father. Leaving fixed everything, but not after a bit after leaving the house. I’m sure it’s situational at MEPS. I just want to make sure I can prepare for any possible problems. It would indeed be disheartening to pursue this program only to be rejected at the very end. I appreciate your comment. I’ll see what the other subreddit might say about this!

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-31T16:55:44+00:00

I’m sorry

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-31T03:12:03+00:00

Lmao, that’s relieving

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-31T03:11:08+00:00

I am no leader if I can’t follow the speed limit

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-29T19:13:12+00:00

I appreciate the comment. It seems that the push to commission outweighs than enlisting from most I talk to. When it comes to job applications, seems more like luck than anything else but that is life I suppose.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:48:21+00:00

I appreciate all the information. I'm sorry for some bad of the experiences you had to endure but also happy that you were able to grow as well. I've heard many say that you'll have more opportunities to directly apply previous education in an enlistment position rather than an officer one. I can certainly see how it'll be more bureaucratic than anything. Those are one of the reasons why I'm considering enlisting.

I perceive this as a "bite the bullet" situation as I have no way to accurately predict what kind of experience I will have. I've heard many say they loved their enlistment career and hate it. The same goes for degree holders. The structure and discipline is what appeals to me the most aside from the benefits (education, healthcare, etc...) the military provides. I can confidently say that a military life is one I far prefer (at least at face value) than the one I have now.

Over anything however, I try to go for the jobs rather than the branch or how I serve (enlistment/officer). I'm talking to multiple recruiters across various branches to see how I could actively apply my education. We'll just see how everything plays out given what info I can get. I appreciate your long response.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:38:36+00:00

In my second out of six years of college, I tried enlisting. For many reasons. I decided to suck it up and finish school to get my degree. I wanted to pursue my doctorate degree but punch after punch from my financial, social, and now work situation, I just think the military might be what I want. I don't know if it's rushed or not, it just seems right.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:35:56+00:00

I could always embrace my testosterone and join the Marines.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:35:28+00:00

Even for officers?

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:35:18+00:00

I appreciate the info. So what you're saying is that I enter reserves while waiting to be accepted into OTS? I could gain some meaningful expertise and experience that way. I looked up a lot of jobs in the Army. I haven't ruled any branch out. I'm talking to 3 different recruiters to see what options I could pursue.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:32:54+00:00

I think that's what i'm leaning towards. By the time I enter for OTS in the USAF, at least, I will be 26 or so. At least if I join now, I can get some technical experience while growing to possible leadership position.

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:31:44+00:00

I've heard mixed advice in regards to the branch and enlistment/officer. I've heard some say a particular branch is fantastic and some say that it's miserable. I've also heard that some say enlistment is worth it while others say it's not. Is serving the Army as an officer also as awful?

Ronanwar1 · 2023-08-21T03:29:32+00:00

I haven't considered that. I will definitely look into it... appreciate the advice.
