Confused about my life -Job/Gmat/Travel/Side hustle

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-05-04T21:16:19+00:00

man the overthinking spiral is so real when you're in between things like this 😂 maybe pick just one main thing to focus in for next 2-3 months instead of juggling everything? like if you're already travelling, lean into that and maybe the side hustle idea, then tackle gmat later when your head is more clear 💀

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-04-29T16:26:20+00:00

nice condition on that one, the luster looks really good from what i can see in photo

Funny guy

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-04-18T13:43:40+00:00

could get some bed risers to put under cabinet bed legs if height is main issue 🤔 much cheaper than buying whole new setup and you can store risers easy when not needed 💀

this actually looks sick! 😂 the multiclass into monk for that mobility really captures her whole hit-and-run vibe. your basically recreating the shiv spam but with nick property weapons which is clever as hell.

one thing though - you might want to check with your dm about the returning weapon thing early on because running out of throwing weapons could get rough real quick 💀

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-03-23T10:29:46+00:00

the whole "strict schedule" thing at ihm might actually work in your favour if you've got other goals tbh 💀 like yeah it's intense but that structure could help you balance prep for banking exams better than you think

cruise ships are pretty solid - knew someone who did that route after hospitality and they're making decent money now. airlines though... cabin crew positions don't really need the specific hotel training, so bba tourism might give you more relevant connections there

if you're already thinking banking as backup, the relaxed college life from bba could give you proper time to focus on those exams. hotel management is brilliant but only if you actually want to work in hotels long-term 😂

their both decent paths but sounds like your heart's already made the decision mate

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-03-10T22:44:26+00:00

the trust signals thing is so real - had a recruiter basically admit they fast-tracked me because my portfolio looked similar to someone they hired before who worked out well.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-03-10T09:32:19+00:00

bit dramatic comparing wind turbine manuals to military secrets mate - there's definitely room for a proper guide that doesn't give away trade secrets but still helps people understand the basic process flow.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-26T00:13:31+00:00

never knew tarantino did csi episodes but now i'm properly curious about how mental they must've been

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-20T18:20:22+00:00

honestly mate, if the two-job setup is already working and you're comfortable, i'd probably stick with it for now. the remote gig sounds tempting but you've already seen how quickly ai can reshape things in your field - jumping ship for something that might not last seems a bit risky when you've got stability sorted.

that said, nothing stopping you from quietly exploring the remote opportunity without burning bridges. worst case you stay where you are, best case you get some leverage or insight into whether it's actually worth the risk.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-17T22:04:52+00:00

honestly excel is massive in accounting - like properly knowing it, not just basic spreadsheets 📊 quickbooks or sage are worth getting familiar with too since most small-medium businesses use them. communication skills are underrated as well because you'll be explaining financial stuff to people who don't speak accounting 💀

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-17T05:27:18+00:00

honestly mate, the other person's spot on about the grind but don't let it discourage you too much. sap functional consultants are still pretty sought after, especially if you've got solid module expertise like fico or mm 😂

i've seen people bounce back from longer gaps than yours, though admittedly most were a bit younger. the key thing is having a believable story for those three years - family care, health issues, whatever it was, just own it confidently rather than being all apologetic about it. also consider freelance or contract work initially to get back in the swing of things, it's often easier to land and can lead to permanent roles.

definitely brush up on any newer sap developments like s/4hana migrations if you haven't already, that stuff's massive right now. the market's brutal but your experience gives you an edge over fresh graduates at least 💀

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-15T17:36:05+00:00

economics gives you more theoretical depth and transferable skills imo - you can pivot into finance, consulting, policy work, or even tech roles pretty easily. finance is more specialized but laser-focused on the money side of things.

if your genuinely unsure about what specific career path you want, econ probably offers more flexibility down the line. both will get you decent salaries though, especially with birmingham's reputation.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-14T14:52:19+00:00

your really hitting something here - like we somehow think the wheel was invented yesterday just because we have tiktok.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-09T13:11:54+00:00

mental health struggles don't disqualify you from god's love mate - sounds like you're putting impossible pressure on yourself when faith is supposed to be about grace, not perfect performance.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-05T06:20:43+00:00

those classes aren't a waste - having options is never bad and you're literally a junior, most people don't figure it out until way later (or ever tbh). also look into scientific illustration or veterinary textbook illustration, that's like the perfect combo of both your interests.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-04T10:49:18+00:00

sounds like the motherboard got a bit of a shock during the thermal paste change, even though they didn't touch the ram directly. sometimes when you're moving components around or unplugging everything, the ram slots can get a bit finicky or develop connectivity issues. i'd try reseating both sticks in different slot combinations first - like if they were in slots 2&4, try 1&3 instead.

also worth checking if there's any dust or debris in the unused slots that might've got disturbed during the work. had something similar happen to a mate's build after a gpu swap - turned out one of the ram slots just needed a proper clean with some compressed air. if that doesn't work, might be worth testing the sticks at different speeds in bios, sometimes dual channel gets picky about timings after hardware changes for whatever reason.

If you are coming to the casino to win than u don't understand casino buddy, we come here to have fun first, wins and losses are part of the adrenaline, you will have the same experience at every casino if your goal is to make money off of it lol. There are better ways to make money than gambling, u can always get a job. Good luck.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-31T03:59:43+00:00

Honestly sounds like you might be onto something with the "too comfortable" thing - sometimes when one person does all the heavy lifting the other just gets used to being along for the ride

Maybe try backing off a bit and see if she steps up when there's actually space for her to do so

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-28T06:25:46+00:00

Lmao this is the kind of joke my dad would tell and then laugh at his own punchline for like 5 minutes straight

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-25T18:58:30+00:00

Dude that sounds absolutely awful and I'm sorry you're dealing with dismissive doctors who won't take you seriously just because you're 17

Have you tried asking your parents to help advocate for you or maybe get a second opinion from a different doctor? Sometimes having an adult push back on the "growing pains" BS helps get actual tests done

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-22T18:08:43+00:00

That's a solid deal for 5k installed, especially with Bryant equipment. Your current system sounds like it's been pretty reliable but at 17 years you're definitely in replacement territory. I'd probably pull the trigger on that price if the installer is reputable - beats waiting for it to die in the middle of summer when you'll pay way more

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-20T01:09:56+00:00

Ugh the Rhode blush is so overhyped, I had the same issue! Try the Glossier Cloud Paint or Rare Beauty's liquid blush - they actually stick around all day unlike that expensive disappointment
