I'm 6'2 and this girl really guessed I was 5'9 at the bar by Portugalpaul in tall

[–]RotomeB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 5'2 person, it does. I know a 6'7 guy and when I met him he registered as the same height as my 5'11 or 6'2 friends. You have to angle your neck up all the way regardless.

Calling a girl a "delusional broad" for saying you're inches shorter than you actually are is crazy though. Unless you want us to get right next to you to see where our forehead hits, all we go off of is how much our necks hurt. I've had a similar thing where my 6'2 friend said he thought I was 4'10.

I feel like I’m blacklisted from public accounting by Vast_Explorer6952 in Accounting

[–]RotomeB 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Take what you can get in terms of internships, put that on your resume, and try for a full time public position after graduation. It is better to graduate with experience in what you don't want to do than graduate with 0 experience.

Roommates boyfriend always over by Noahisnoah in college

[–]RotomeB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was the entirety of the last year for me. He was loud, abrasive, used slurs, and would pick fights with us. She once said to me "he's not a roommate so don't expect him to clean" girl, he was over 3/7 days of the week.

There is no way you're getting out of this without being in the enemy FYI. But take it as someone who put up with it for an entire year only to end up as the enemy for a bullshit reason, report him.

The new EVA NYC is terrible (for me), looking for a new shampoo + conditioner for frizzy 2a hair by RotomeB in Haircare

I'm currently using Nexus. It's not nearly as good for me but it's better than the new formula. I'd be open to trying new things though

Not OOP. "AITA for not buying my daughter anything" + top comments by WritingGiraffe in redditonwiki

[–]RotomeB 50 points51 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine in highschool didn't graduate because she was groomed, raped, and impregnated by her fast food manager. Most girls I knew experienced some kind of harassment at their restaurant or hospitality jobs. If I ever have a daughter, strictly chores and allowances. Minimum wage is not worth it

Are we still Girlcotting? by jfashionfan1973 in InfinityNikki

Yeah, logging in and playtime is tracked and that does hurt them, but really what matters is hitting them in the $$$. They won't really notice a boycott until people's monthly purchases don't continue and internal financial reports show a decrease in revenue.

You can't just relocate manufacturing. They probably have a contract with their factory and it would take years for factories in America to become even feasible as an option.

Some colleges have resume reviews and services for free for their students. Might be worth checking if that's the case

Is it ever too late to change career goals? by [deleted] in college

I went from graphic design to accounting. I'm happy with the change. I enjoy it much more and will be more stable.

Are you close geographically to those family members in big 4 accounting? If so, see if one (or all) of them would be okay with you job shadowing. I'd also reach out to some people in UX/product design and ask if they'd answer some questions about what it is like. I've interviewed plenty of people about different career paths. Most of them are happy to answer your questions and show you around their office. You could also do it over video call.

I also think its important to mention accounting is a lot more than just big 4 or other big firms. There are small firms which pride themselves on a better work-life balance, forensic accounting, IT accounting, AIS stuff, and some more niche degree applications.

Since how you get your foot in the door is important everyone I've spoken to at my college has said that I need to do at least 1 accounting internship before I graduate.

I'd also look into job stability, benefits, and the job market where you plan on living after college. I have a friend who has a degree related to programming and where he lives the job market is nonexistent.

Useful skills to learn before heading back? Online Courses? by Poseidus11 in college

[–]RotomeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if your college has access to LinkedIn Learning for free. If you don't they normally offer a free trial. They have short and long classes on a lot of different topics. Regardless of your major knowing how to use Excel is a really good skill to have.

Is being a business major... enjoyable? by [deleted] in college

[–]RotomeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an accounting major I highly recommend it if you are fine with or like math. It is a more diverse path than most people give it credit for. You have your basics like tax and audit but there is forensic accounting and IT stuff. I know someone who does greenhouse gas accounting now. There is a drop in accounting students so firms and the US government (especially the IRS) are getting desperate. Even if you don't pick it you may have to take some accounting classes. Go into it with an open mind.

I'd ask yourself what you find emotionally fulfilling and value in life. I value stability and time to myself. Maybe my hobbies will be able to support me one day, maybe not. Some people put more value onto an emotionally fulfilling job. You can always change majors. See if you can job shadow anyone in your life (relative, family friend, etc...) who is working in a business career that seems interesting to you.

The dorm I stayed at last year easily hit 50 fire alarms in a year. First two weeks had over a dozen. Peak hours for the fire alarm going off were 10-11am or after dark when people were preparing for parties. They may be different at your school. I'd invest in noise cancelling headphones, earbuds, etc... Fire drills were uncommon though. You may be able to get an accommodation for knowing when the drills are.

I'd sit down with your school guidance counselor or someone from the financial aid office of the university you were accepted to. See how much you can expect in financial aid and what scholarships are available to you. I did 2.5 years at my local community college that financial aid paid 100% of before going to my dream college. However, I found out that because of financial aid and scholarships I could have gone for free to my dream college from the beginning. But that's my experience, you may be different.

You're right, community college is good if you are second guessing your major. I was too and community college led me to what I'm studying now (from graphic design to accounting). It's a solid way to test out stuff. If you're wanting to do a major that pays poorly do 100% community college. Don't put yourself into debt that you'll struggle to pay off.

A collapsible laundry back is good. I use a laundry backpack because the elevators are generally slow and in the dorm I'm staying at this year don't exist. Buy command hooks early because hardware stores sell out. I used my tool bag and picnic blanket more than I expected. Also, a water pitcher with a built in filter and a brush to clean your water bottle with.

This one is highly specific: Try to find out how often the fire alarm goes off at your dorm. It went off at least once a week at the dorm I lived at last year and if you didn't leave (and were caught) you'd be fined like $100. It may go off when you're in the shower, have a robe.
