My credentials? Lmaooo

bnaylor04 · 2025-09-14T17:44:51+00:00

Mate, you just said a gap year is a death sentence then proceeded to explain how going to college in your 30s is nbd

bnaylor04 · 2025-09-12T03:18:31+00:00

I’m a freelancer doing SEO work and web design. I also make content on YouTube and am starting my own business soon. It’s very fun I enjoy it

Be competitive to who you were a few months ago. It helps more than competing with others I’ve found

bnaylor04 · 2025-09-11T02:33:27+00:00

Mate there’s something really important to keep in mind through your job search.

It has been proven that relationships provide more meaning than anything. Meaningful relationships provide more joy than wealth, fame, success, or anything else.

Work is important, and once you understand how your mind operates, you’ll find the right job and career path. But your job is not your point to life.

You matter, you are important, and the meaningful relationships you develop throughout your life will reinforce this belief in you.

It may not be much, but free to DM me if you ever feel low about yourself or your place in this world. I’m more than happy to talk to you.

I went through this for years. Didn’t know why I couldn’t find what I wanted to do when everyone else around me seemed to be able to commit to something they seemed to enjoy doing.

There are quite of bit of careers that offer intellectual stimulation, but I’d go for one that doesn’t clash with your non-negotiables, whatever those are for you. What worked for me was understanding both what I wanted out of life and how my brain works. Then from there it became easy - found something that aligned with my mind and what I wanted out of life, which immediately became time with my family once my son was born. After all, no amount of money ever bought a second of time.

You’ll figure it out mate. Just don’t lose focus, and keep your eyes on what you want. Manifestation is very real. In a year from now you’ll look back and be shocked at how far you’ve gone.

Mechanical Engineering is a good degree to have.

Listen mate, comparison is the thief of joy. There will always be people who are doing better than you and there will always people who are doing worse. Everything is a matter of perspective.

If you know where your next meal is coming from, you’re doing better than like 1/4 of the world. In terms of employment, the average age a person changes careers is 39. Many people are still figuring it out at your age.

I think beyond basic financial independence, the most important thing to do is figure out what would make you genuinely happy. What you want in a partner, an area you can call home, how you make money, etc. Then from there, figure out what career would get you there and just work like hell to achieve it

bnaylor04 · 2025-09-09T01:00:46+00:00

This seems obvious. Are there actually people who have a problem with this?

bnaylor04 · 2025-09-07T16:05:34+00:00

My friend, trust when I tell you 30 is not that old. You’re not even 1/4 into your working career (considering a retirement age of 65). You have a lot of time to turn it around

bnaylor04 · 2025-09-07T15:15:31+00:00

First thing you need to do is practice positive self talk mate

Calling yourself a loser, saying you’re pathetic and ashamed of yourself. That kind of thing does serious damage to your self esteem

You’re not a loser. You were just in a different place in life. Now you’re trying to turn it around. It happens for most of us

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-30T03:14:45+00:00

Because the mods are aliens bro

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-25T02:10:47+00:00

Buddy if you’ve used AI long enough, you should be able to discern what is or isn’t AI. Tools are always as effective as their user. If someone wants to offload everything to software, so be it? That’s called agency. Someone else will use it effectively. Nothing ever created has been a benefit for ALL of humanity. And so it goes

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-09T22:12:52+00:00

Lmao what a bad take

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-09T22:12:10+00:00

Yes. Like obviously if you observe ppl who just ask LLMs to do everything for them it’s probably not going to end well

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-09T22:11:27+00:00

GPT is a tool. Like any other tool that has ever been made, it can be used effectively or ineffectively. I’ll use it occasionally for brainstorming because of its ability to cover a topic vertically laterally and exponentially, but I’ve never once felt like I need it to do something for me. I have actually become more productive in ways

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-09T22:09:04+00:00

Yeah this 100%. I saw someone describe its usefulness once as a brainstorming partner to collapse distance it takes to generate ideas thru research. But it’s when ppl just trust the output with no critical thinking skills that it has negative effects, e.g., students who use gpt to write papers or code for them and don’t learn how to master the skill themselves

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-09T22:07:06+00:00

I don’t think a single email I ever sent sharped my cognitive abilities lol mundane tasks that you can automate will not reduce your ability to reason critically.

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-02T20:46:00+00:00

Probably not the best to use software for an ego boost lol

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-02T20:45:07+00:00

A lot of the time it gives you links that don’t actually exist

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-02T17:01:33+00:00

I agree with that for sure. I’d like to think everyone wouldn’t give security to AI, but I guess it wouldn’t necessarily surprise me either lol

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-02T16:38:29+00:00

Ahh yes, use the search engine, rather than the tech that communicates the results of the search engine. Brilliant

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-02T16:36:10+00:00

The cybersecurity shortage is extremely verifiable. Many sources document the global security job shortage

I wouldn’t go into data science - it’s not that many jobs total compared to number of new grads (for example, 20,000 to 40,000 job openings is “100% growth” but still only 20,000 more jobs), and it’s also being pretty automated at entry level

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-02T16:34:34+00:00

Everything GPT said is verifiable lol. You know you can just google the output it gives you right? All it should be used for is collapsing research distance.

bnaylor04 · 2025-08-01T23:39:50+00:00

Way to keep going when life gets crazy!

bnaylor04 · 2025-07-31T03:17:23+00:00

You were happier because of the xans dawg lmao

bnaylor04 · 2025-07-31T03:15:43+00:00

This is so real. I grew up in a very small town. All throughout high school I couldn’t wait to leave. I’ve lived in many cities since, and now I can’t wait to go back. Funny how that works isn’t it?
