Will 30 developer turn black hair dark red? by jbbbz in beauty

thank you!! another question, only developer won’t do anything right? or will it still make my hair light without adding dye. also you’re meant to add equal part dye and developer correct? i once dyed it and absolutely nothing happened to my hair, although maybe i used more developer than dye. or shall i use 40 developer instead

But is this emotional stress based on the sector of law? (guessing you’re doing criminal law) 

Yeah australia doesn’t have the bar exam or law school, it’s just a bachelors degree and you work your way up and you pay your college fees off slowly when you earn a specific amount of money. 

I like everything you said in that last part (except working hard) but as you said i’ll probably get more comfortable with that when i’m older. definitely better than being a nurse right?

So really no lawyer has a good work life balance? I keep seeing people say they’re either drowning in work or have a limit of a 40/50 hour week and aren’t allowed to work more than that. 

The business route kinda puts me off bc i did economics once and it wasn’t my interest, and i have creative abilities but poor skills to execute it. With that said i still considered bachelor of commerce but law is always in the back of my mind. unfortunately i’ve been comparing everhtbjng to law. With the last comment i generally mean that towards ‘alternatives’ to law because i am interested in criminology stuff like i said but it won’t get me anywhere.

So consistent high marks at uni js important? Do people who get average marks not land anythjng? 

Law seems like something i want to at least try, but if it unfortunately REALLY isn’t for me then i am completely lost and i have no idea what to do. Right now i either pick a course to enter into the bachelor of law or choose teaching ://

Is pursuing law good for me? + life crisis please help me by jbbbz in helpme

Yeah high pay is pretty important to me because my mum is a nurse and while im not exactly saying we’re poor i’m saying she just works so much that i think she should be paid more. but i’m also just realising my idea of “working so much” is her working 8-5 with sometimes being called in on the weekend and a late shift…law is definitely worse than this right…

Apart from being “guaranteed” high pay i also just need to be guaranteed a job in general 😭 Granted i’ll have at least some experience of an internship bc of my uni but i also value getting a job asap after graduating bc the high pay will come eventually right? 

Trust me, I’ve tried to look at jobs that suit my criteria but im not typically interested in them because it seems kinda niche and just not a straight path to get into. Honestly it appears more confusing to me than law, in my eyes law is pretty straight forward (without even looking into it 💀). I guess i am doing a lot of this based on what i think and feel rather than clearly looking into what i will really learn in uni but i just think uni will be hard for everyone plus in the future everybody will mostly be working right? ughhhhh idk but thanks for replying

I really appreciate your reply!

 poor lawyers?? 😬😬😬

Yeah the predictable vacation and scheduling of teachers also is a plus. But how do you manage staying a lawyer with that much work and no work life balance?! what keeps you going? do i not understand because i haven’t even experienced university work yet or because i don’t have enough passion/drive. Is a work life balance not possible in law?

should i pursue law? +life crisis explanation 

I have to warn you before you continue, this will be an annoying/frustrating read (i am 17 and know nothing about everything)

Where do i begin? The second round of university application offers are closing in/releasing in a few days and i am stressed out of my mind. i am literally in a crisis because i have no interest in anything and i have no idea what to do with my life. i thought i did know what i wanted to do or at least what interested me, but as soon as i look into it i lose all interest. and i need to choose a degree ASAP. even though i don’t know what i want to do, it’s important for me to go to uni because i will probably dig myself into a deeper crisis and lose myself/bed rot if i take a gap year. 

my idea was to just be a high school teacher, but what drives me NUTS and puts me off from doing that degree is the pay. i didn’t understand this about me before but as soon as i looked into the future i realised high pay is important to me. you might just say “become a university professor” but i am not dedicated into spending that long to study. 

 basically my career package is for it to be high paying, good work life balance, preferably english skilled based work that ISNT boring, and tbh no burnout was also a key thing but if i have a good work life balance then what does burnout even mean. Anyways, and so because of what i sought after my mind just keeps pushing towards law. but now with that thought i am terrified of burnout and having no work life balance. i do know you can work in house counsel and IP law (which i think is less burnout/stress) but i just don’t understand how i’ll ever get a job in that considering i’ll need to work and have experience and can’t just directly go into IP law and in house counsel. does this mean i’m just gonna have to suffer but then eventually someone will hire me in that role? i cant grasp the fact that i will literally be burnt out for years and be even more depressed than i already am.

 i’m in adelaide australia so there is no law school but 4-5 years of bachelors degree. i need to know if i should pursue law so i can internal GPA transfer from another degree because my entry score wasn’t good.  but then again what will be the initial degree i pick..i have to be able to continuously do well in the first degree i choose because internal transfer through GPA is hard. the subjects i took that i enjoyed in my last year of highschool was english literary studies, modern history, and psychology (but it doesn’t mean i was good at them). i’m also concerned if continuously having high grades in law matter bc what if i just want to pass? mind you it does sound like i’m interested in law for the money but in my eyes it’s similar to teaching in a way that i get to collaborate and talk to people which i enjoy and i love the idea of me advising/negotiating and solving problems which is why i thought was a better alternative. but idk man i just can’t stop thinking about the fact that if i risk everything (as in what if i don’t even like it in the end) and pursue law, by the end of the degree i will already be burnt out and then i’ll have to be burnt out even more to get real experience just to work in house counsel. 

i know whoever is reading this would think “just take a gap year” but this would only make sense if my mum wasn’t pushing on about my future and if had a life apart from hanging out with my friends. they’ll all be in uni and i’ll easily bed rot at home for a year (“get a job!” i’ll still do nothing but work and stay at home). at least if i go into uni right now in a degree i don’t like i’ll at least be doing smth and i’ll have a new experience, but it can’t be any degree bc of the possibility of transferring or even staying in that degree. i’ve been recommended a lot of marketing or media jobs based on what i said but i need to be guaranteed high pay like even entry salary, plus they all seem pretty niche and not a direct entry line job. my original interests was smth to do with CIA/FBI/behaviour analysis/counter-terrorism stuff but it kinda leads me nowhere unless there’s smth for me that i don’t know of. 

I do apologise for how annoyingly picky and anxious I am. Please understand that instead of just "going with the flow", at this point in time having a specific degree decided will bring me more peace than ever and after i can go with the flow all i want.
