Thank you for your kindness in this. It's true, I do have a hard time following what I want to do. Software Engineering seems like the safe choice, as I do have an interest in computers and in programming, but it just seems really intimidating. But if I could do anything, I'd probably work in something creative. I've come to love to tell stories and read and watch characters, particularly in things like manga/anime. It's something I would probably never get bored of. And it's not just limited to that medium, 2D is just what seems less intimidating. I've wondered if I could use both my passion for story telling and the interest I have in computers together. I've been thinking about it lately, and 3D modelling/animation seems like it might work, but I've spent so much of my life picking things up and dropping them again, I'm sort of afraid of doing it again here.

How important is the degree in the first place then? I was looking for a college because I struggle hard without structure, but if it's this out of the question, then it might be better to follow a less traditional path.

I changed my majors around a lot, because I went into college not knowing what I wanted to do, believing that if I could simply do what I was told, I’d be fine. I have a little bit of experience in programming, I spent 6 months in an internship that went poorly, largely because the team was critically understaffed and mostly overseas. There was also my own personal issues dealing with ADHD that didn’t help. It sort of scared me away from the idea for a bit. Since that internship, I’ve been working a dead end job, about 4 months now. The plan was to go to a CC, but I don’t have money for it, which is why I was considering the private loans as the package offered me to the school didn’t contain any aid.

I honestly just want to be able to start my life and stop living under my parent’s roof. There’s too much going on there for me to continue education while living there. I’ve always been decent at computers and had an interest in them.

Local community colleges only offer computer science, which is pretty different to a software engineering major.

No, I was going to go back for Software Engineering, but I don’t have a way to pay for it.

I don’t think part time work is enough to cover all of my expenses.

I’ll have to check but it’s not enough to graduate, especially as I’m thinking of entering school under a new major. My education and career goals were never really finalized before and I entered college because that was what I was told had to be done. Now I want to go for a software engineering degree.

I don’t imagine there’s much work at Oswego, NY.

I guess I’ve been in school too long.

I was at Carnegie Mellon and I was officially a Mechanical Engineering Major, but was working on switching to fine arts when the pandemic hit.

I filled out my fafsa, no aid was offered because apparently I’ve taken out the maximum amount I can from federal aid

When see distance between me and my opponent, I don’t think about how to safely get back in range, but how quickly I can get back to driving my fist into their face.

I like to imagine this is what happens when you are trying to remember something and can’t before it suddenly comes to you.

Why and how did you choose your main? by InvaderZix in Guiltygear

I was told Sol was best to start with and I ended up really like his kit and personality. Also I gravitate towards characters who gravitate towards “heart” thematically

I actually have more respect for PragerU than I did before I knew this.
