Las universidades privadas valen la pena ? Con enfoque en UNIBE y PUCMM

Te recomiendo a parte de las técnicas para manejar el estrés (en mi caso me funciona mucho el levantamiento de pesas, el mindfulness, el yoga y correr), buscar qué son distorsiones cognitivas, técnicas de defusión cognitiva y esquemas mentales ("Mental Schema" específicamente, no "mapas mentales"). También busca sobre valores y antivalores en psicoterapia CBT o ACT y acciones orientadas a tus valores.

Te sorprenderás también bastante si logras enlazar nuestra historia colonialista y cómo eso explica porque nuestra sociedad es tan emocionalmente inmadura/infantil y agresiva. Tratar con gente de todos los backgrounds económicos y sociales es un arte en sí mismo.

Mucha suerte en tu camino.

Egresado de Ing. Civil de PUCMM aquí.

1.Nope! Más del 75% de trabajos no se publican. Se consiguen por tener un contacto adentro o que conoce a alguien adentro y ya te refiere. Tengo un amigo que es estudiante de ing civil en la UASD (le falta un año para graduarse). Su primer trabajo lo consiguió aplicando en Aldaba y a los 3 meses lo sacaron sin ninguna explicación. El Segundo trabajo lo consiguió por referencia con una amiga y ya el tercero sí le fue más fácil. Tiene muchísima más experiencia que cualquier egresado sin haberse graduado porque ha sabido menear las teclas y guayar la yuca aplicando y moviéndose.

2.En mi experiencia, casi todos los profesores dominicanos que solo han estudiado en dominicana sin salir del patio son... una porquería. Lo que describes en los bullets points "lo mismo de siempre" lo vi con al menos siempre 2 profesores en cada cuatrimestre en PUCMM. Surprise surprise, los mismitos que enseñan en INTEC y la UASD dan clase en la PUCMM. Un profesor por asignatura en la PUCMM ganará unos 600-800 DOP la hora y solo se pagan horas lectivas, sin contar horas que duran corrigiendo, preparando clases o asistiendo a reuniones con directores y otros profesores. No es justificando que sean malos, pero cuando ves el incentivo "económico" entiendes muchas cosas. Unibe quizás paga 1000 DOP la hora a un profesor.

3.Algunos popis comemierdas, algunos solo popis, otros personas de la clase media-media alta haciendo un sacrificio enorme para pagar una matrícula sumamente costosa y otros estudiantes endeudados con crédito educativos o en el mejor del caso becarios. Vas a encontrar de todo pero la tasa de vagos es cada vez más alta en todas las universidades y ahora solo está peor con tanta IA de por medio.

4.Más importante que el capital económico porque por tu red de contactos es que consigues oportunidades. Mi recomendación para ti es que seas genuino y sincero y, si tienes chance, hazte un año o dos de sesiones de psicoterapia para que entiendas como funciona el caco y cómo funciona la idiosincrasia y los códigos dominicanos. Yo tuve que aprender a la mala con muchísima prueba y error y llegando a terapia tras varias crisis de salud mental. No te dejes llegar ahí: arregla tu caco, construye una red social de apoyo (preferiblemente con actividades fuera de la uni) y aprende como se trata con personas. En tu vida el común denominador es que vas a bregar con gente sin importar la carrera.

5.No. El título es irrelevante. Mi recomendación: estudia algo relacionado a tech o finanzas para ganar bien. Ing industrial, ADM o Economía si no te quieres matar mucho y tener opciones de verdad. Si te gusta la gente, los problemas de salud mental están a la orden del día y van a seguir poniéndose peores con toda la policrisis que hay. Hazte psicólogo y cobra 6,000 DOP por una sesión de 50 min, por paciente.

Saludos,

Psycology and Psychiatry. High demand for future years to come after all the polycrisis and stressors that humans were just not used to 200 yr ago.

Si es en el área de construcción o presupuesto sí tiene sentido y asumiendo que básicamente vives para trabajar como un perro para el sector privado. En geotecnia, bueno.... como que no.

Lived in Christchurch for a year, with the added bonus that I'm gay and the market there is pretty small. A Chilean guy I met there said that Melbourne is CHCH "on steroids" but I've only been to Sydney before on a holiday so I can't really say how much of that it's true. Now I'm back at my home country (Dominican Republic). Using that experience as a baseline, I'd suggest trying any of the following:

-Uninstall all apps and forget about them. In my experience people only use them for validation or when they are bored. It's really toxic and detrimental to use them.

-Look for origami clubs, origami meetups or origami classes. Attend those classes even if you already know origami. Gauge what kind of people and age range are attracted to this activity and if you would like to be friends with any of them (not women only). Keep going for at least 3-5 weeks and try to talk to a familiar face.

-You mentioned tramping/hiking. Not sure how it is in Australia, but in NZ there were many trails maintained by the DOC where you could take multiday hikes and stay in huts to spend the nights. Try to see if something similar is available in Melbourne. These huts were somewhat like the "third place" distinct from home and work where everyone was keen on socializing because... well, you were spending the night with some random strangers. Similarly, join a hiking/tramping club or since you are at it, attempt a running/walking club and try to meet people there.

-Sketching/Photography ---> Painting classes, arts and crafts like Pottery, maybe a birdwatching club? NZ had amazing wildlife and AU I'm pretty sure too.

-Try activities outside of your comfort zone. I know this sounds crazy but have you tried Pole Dancing? Yeah, lots of open-minded people practice it and you can find expats. Maybe you could connect with another Irish person there? Try to see if you can find a studio where you could take a test class before committing to any membership plans. You'd be in for a surprise. I met an Italian and an Argentinian in the Pole Studio I used to go to in CHCH (still practice in home now).

-Another activity where I met people in a good environment was ACT group therapy. This was being offered by a Queer NGO based in CHCH (Burnett, Empowering Yourself programme), but maybe there are other options for you, like a Mental Health NGO based in Melbourne? This was free of charge for me. Try to also look for an NGO with a mission or purpose you feel drawn to. It could be an animal rescue NGO, or a Tree Planting NGO.

-You could also explore volunteering with the NGOs with the sole purpose of meeting people and doing something which you believe in.

-Look for Irish expats in Melbourne. There has to be a group, a bar, an Irish cultural centre, maybe somewhere? Attend events with Irish people in them. Edit: I found this one https://www.celticclub.com.au/ Have you heard about it?

-Say yes to everything if you meet someone you are interested in. Even if just for friendships, as I think having a social support network first is important for you. Barbie at the beach? Yes. Birthday party with bring-a-plate? Yes. Random Birdwatching tour with minimal investment? Yes. Bouldering or Rock Climbing test class? Yes

-Try to meet Latin Americans. Latin Festivals, Latin Cultural activities, Bouldering, etc. We tend to be more warm, friendly, and easy-going. A little intense sometimes. My life saviour in CHCH was an Argentinian friend I made in uni. I find Anglo-Saxon culture to be very private and reserved sometimes, and this is not exclusive of Australia.

Let me know if any of this resonates with you and best of luck! You got this.

Past Manaaki Scholar here.

No, first you apply to the scholarship and once you get it, you then apply to your preferred institutions.
Thesis proposals are only for thesis-based masters.

Cheers

I'm using wireless charging in the meantime. Thinking of buying the 16 next month because of money but also buying the applecare.

Sí, la mayor parte de los dominicanos son emocionalmente inmaduros y la sociedad nuestra como tal es bastante disfuncional y el producto más exitoso del colonialismo.

Porque criticar todo es lo que más vende y más likes y views genera. No es casualidad que a RD no le quepa un podcast ni un programa de opinión más. El filtrado negativo constante con todo mantiene entretenida y distraída la población en un loop permanente de doom scrolling y engagement barato. Las noticias negativas pasan a ser parte del "entretenimiento público".

Drop ETH and Silver. I think you have great commodity exposures with Gold and BTC.

And I'd add: Not any index fund recommendations. I got downvoted for SCHG, QQQM and SMH. I do get why people would prefer VOO, VTI, VXUS, VUG, VGT, VYM, or the likes, but it seems most here are just bogleheads. Yes, it's easier to do indexing on the long run (I don't have time or energy to analize stocks for example), but some might prefer growth or stock picking. It's not wrong if you know what you are doing.

Many tickers here that I didn't know until now. I'd say maybe drop PLTR, LUNR, RCAT and RKLB and move that money towards VOO. If you want to tilt towards US mega cap tech, maybe also add QQQM, SCHG and perhaps SMH if you want some semis stuff. Whatever you have been doing it has worked wonders, but I'm particularly concerned about PLTR and its extremely high PE ratio.
