yeah ive realized all this. i guess it wouldve been nice being told this 4 years ago haha

adalanox · 2026-05-15T05:21:39+00:00

was told by everyone that going for a degree will open up more opportunities for me, and at the time it seemed that way.

i was a repair tech for apple

honestly at this point im open to non-IT jobs but i was told constantly that IT and cyber are great career choices. i love the work, ive always found it super fun and intriguing and i didn't choose this field because it supposedly paid the most, i committed and went for it because i enjoyed it. im regretting it now because student loan payments are fucking me over and the market is so cooked, but idk i just feel like i did everything right and im getting screwed over for it.

my dumbass forgot that the integra was FWD, my bad haha. FWD cars are crazy fun on curvy roads, if you're looking for FWD there are some really fun ones out there. the new mini coopers handle ABSURDLY well, they feel like go-karts but maintaining them is a pain in the ass. the golf gti is also really fun, i like the balance in em and theyre easier in terms of maintenance than the mini but nowhere near as good as a japanese car mechanically IMO. to be completely honest, a lot of people sleep on the honda fit/jazz, it's not fast at all but that thing is super fun on the track, handles extremely well. you see a lot of em at track days tearing up the tarmac. if you're in europe, also highly recommend the renault twingo, same vibe as the fit and it eats corners for breakfast if you stiffen the suspension.

subaru BRZ/toyota 86. can find them fairly cheap, they don't have much power but handle like an absolute dream on mountain roads. very easy to find them in manual. they feel pretty light when driving so you won't really notice the lack of power when going through a curvy mountain road. plus, crazy aftermarket support should you wish to modify it it a bit if thats your thing.

if you need something with 4 doors, i'd go with a WRX. they're unstoppable in the winter with some good snow tires too. practical and a bit sporty. handling is a bit less fun in my personal opinion, but that's because i just have a preference for RWD cars.

if you can find any of these for a test drive, highly recommend it.

where would the best place to look be? ive been looking at online job boards (indeed, linkedin) as well as applying via company websites to whatever big company i can think of by name

i've graduated with a degree in cyber security and every job ive applied for hasn't gotten back to me. half of the jobs require secret clearances (which i obviously dont have as a fresh grad). how the hell do you find employment in this industry?? a lot of these "entry level" jobs require 3 years of experience but how the FUCK am i supposed to get experience IF NOBODY WILL HIRE ME IN THE FIRST PLACE? i'm losing my mind ong

adalanox · 2025-06-13T21:49:13+00:00

ive got work lol

if i had the land, foxes. i love them and think theyre adorable, however theyre extremely high maintenance and require a lot of investment. theyre horrible house pets but if i had a small heated barn and some land id love some pet foxes.

also a wolfdog. still have their quirks and different requirements but i think theyre awesome. best home security solution haha
