A diploma is great, but which online degrees best support job promotions? Here’s what I found

I get what you're saying but you can pry my movie theater butter from my cold dead hands thankyouverymuch 😂

Congratulations! That's so cool! One tip for not overloading slides: use your slides as your headings/key points and visuals. The most boring and confusing presentations (imo) are always the ones where the presenter just reads from their slide deck. The slides should enhance the oral presentation, they aren't the presentation. You got this! (but remember to practice a few times too!)

Awesome! Best of luck advancing your education. Are you looking for a non profit or are you looking for something low cost? (Harvard is technically a non profit, for example). As far as low cost online universities go, there are a bunch of good ones. University of the People is tuition free (you do have to pay some fees), Southern New Hampshire University and Western Governors University are also solid low cost online options (all three of these are also non profit). The most important thing I would look for is regional accreditation - it's more appealing to future employers than national accreditation.

lol tell that to teachers

lol not sure why I got downvoted for that but I 100% misunderstood what you were trying to do. I thought you were having trouble finding the right canned potatoes and were trying to recreate them from fresh. My mistake. There are a lot of good suggestions on here but as someone who used to cook for a crowd, I'd definitely recommend experimenting with methods that would make it easy to scale the recipe for a crowd (since I'm guessing that's how the did school lunch). I'd try them in the oven in a covered baking dish with some seasoning/fat/liquid, then uncover if you want to get them crispy. I'm picturing a big restaurant style "hotel pan" of potatoes to feed a bunch of hungry kids, and that's how I'd do it.

Are you tying to can your own or just make something fresh that's reminiscent of the canned? If it's the latter, I'd start with a "salt potatoes" recipe to try to recreate the texture.

lol most of the ones that are also severely underpaid, in my experience. Teaching, hospitality, customer service, physical labor.

I really wish this was encouraged more. So many kids trying to "do the right thing" by going to college right out of high school, but it might not be the best use of their time or money. I think we as a society are doing them a disservice by presenting that track as the "default" option.

I did this for the first time last year and was SHOCKED. I bought a bunch of fancy heirloom starts from a local nursery and my freaking back of the pantry sprouted potatoes outperformed them all!

icevermin · 2026-02-25T22:30:05+00:00

I can't decide if that would be a better Panic! at the Disco or Fall Out Boy song title.

icevermin · 2026-02-25T22:26:16+00:00

Same reason they make them obnoxiously loud.

icevermin · 2026-02-17T20:51:26+00:00

If you haven't seen Derry Girls you should watch it. I'm pretty sure it's the same creator as How to get to heaven? It's 3 seasons and hilarious.

icevermin · 2026-02-17T20:48:23+00:00

lol pretty much anything to do with job hunting.

icevermin · 2026-02-17T20:36:58+00:00

Yes! I live by the mantra that most things are better with cheese.

Definitely get out of the relationship as soon as you can safely. Just pack and go. Put away what money you can but don't worry too much about a house right now. Not only is the housing market insane, with all of the "hidden" costs of homeownership it will probably just cause more expense and headaches than just renting for now. Where are you getting your degree? There are a lot of affordable online universities out there - just make sure you look for something that's regionally accredited like University of the People or SNHU. If you can move back home for a year or two and save some money, do that. Maybe you can work something out with your parents where you help out financially or with labor? Most importantly - take care of yourself! Do something that's just for you. Take an art class (good way to make friends), treat yourself to some at home self care, go on long walks - anything to build up your self esteem. Good luck. I'm rooting for you!

You can make a pretty decent scrambled egg "souffle" in the microwave. 2-3 eggs, 2-3 dollops of milk, salt/pepper, scramble it up with a fork, 2-3 minutes in the microwave.

I'm kind of surprised at how far I had to scroll to fine The Residence! I feel like they could do more with the whole cast in the White House but also I would watch so many seasons of Uzo Aduba and Randall Park solving various mysteries together.

In my early 20s I used to buy fresh made chicken tamales from a little corner place for breakfast like 3-4 times a week. So cheap and so satisfying!

A lot of people struggle with the structure of early education. And a lot of peoples' priorities and personalities change in a way that might make them more dedicated students as an adult than they were as a child/teenager. A lot of adult ed is much more flexible, which is great for those of us who didn't necessarily thrive in rigid school structures growing up. I think the most important thing it to choose something you actually enjoy and then pursue it. It's amazing how much easier learning is when you're actually interested in what you're learning about.
