I'm 25 and never went to college but i want to get some sort of education. A four year school is out of the question because it's too expensive and time consuming so it will probably be community college for me.
note: this probably won't affect me in anyway other than me being able to say i graduated
What should i get? There's so much to choose from, AS AA AAS Certificates of Tech, Marketable Skills Achievement, it's so confusing. pls help.
Do NOT go to a for-profit college!
Check out your local community college. See what looks interesting for some basics. GL
AS or don't bother.

There's just so much to go for. There is one for Geology, I thought that would sound cool to have on my resume. The ones I'm looking at are public, they're much cheaper.
>>16940316
There are some that look like they lean more to industry. It seems they cut out a lot of the gen eds and replace them with other classes. I also thought of doing one with arts. Maybe I'll learn to draw or somefin..
What kind of programing/computer related job is easy enough to learn in a few months that will earn something better than shit wedge?
>>16940300
Use google you fag. If you get the proper certifications, you should be set to have a basic IT job.
>>16940300
The best you're hoping for is Web Developer or Tech Support.
You can't get any jobs with good salary on just a few months of learning, let alone experience.
>>16940325
I get it that it'll take a while to get really paid... but I'm curious what won't be a retarded path towards something decent. C+? C#? Java? I mean, learning any of these will likely lead to some kind of job... but what's best? I'm smart, but seeking advice here because you fags are god-tier computer fucks and would have a better perspective on the subject I feel.
so heres the story
Im in a mental hospital and meet a girl aged 33 im 21. I developed feelings for her and told her she rejected saying I should get those thoughts out of my head due to the age difference. Later she told me that if I were 25 she would go with me. We grew closer the last days and Im wondering what I can do to make her overlook the age difference and still make this happen. What do? Im leaving the hospital wednesday.
She gave you a LOGIC reason why she doesn't want you. That is rare for women to make up LOGIC excuse. And the fact you were in mental hospital doesn't help you one bit.
Move on.
>I want to be with an older woman I met in a mental hospital
Just dodge the bullet, man. She's giving you every opportunity to dodge the bullet, and you're just determined to make it hit you square in the chest
Leave her alone, for both of you
So you both have problems serious enough to end up on a mental ward, but you think you've found dating material?
Please consider what you've just said.
Ok guys this is the first time im posting here, but i really don't know what else to do.
Ive been struggling with depression on and off since 2012, the year i finished school. Shit got really bad for me since my school days weren't the most fun, i had problems with bullying, even the teachers tried to fuck me over whenever they could. Basically i left school feeling like a worthless piece of shit. Feeling is still quite present to day, but i have had better days. My girlfriend at that time built me up a lot for 2 years and i was deciding to volunteer for some...

>>16940259
Just reading this made me a bit sad. But nothing horrible is going for you atm.
>i really enjoyed working with the kids.
This is what you want to get going.
>i applied for a school to become a kindergarden teacher like i originally planned.
That is good.
>hurt myself before, but yesterday i did . it felt right and real
Yea, you do this because you mostly wanted to feel something. Just remember the dopamine...

yeah i can't really talk to my parents, they never really understood this kind of shit. I've been trying to open up to them lately with some success, but usually my best bet is my roommate(who's also my male best friend) and my female best friend, which I've know for about 16 years now. both suffer from depression as well, so i can talk to them about that, but im fucking afraid to tell them about the self harm.
Hello everyone, I've come to this board looking for help... I have this crush on this girl at my high school and I was looking for advice to become friends with her in hopes of a dating relationship in the future. Please give me some tips and ask questions
>go up to girl when she is by herself
>ask her if she would like to go to the movies/dinner some time
>if she says no, move on
>>16940275
>to
Run I'm trying to get to that stage, but idk if she even thinks of me as her friend.
>>16940256
>>16940284
She doesn't have to think of you as a friend. That's not a requirement. You don't want to be her friend anyway. Skip that step.
Don't drag it out. If she rejects you, you've learned something for the next girl you crush on.
Wife was fooling around with two guys involved with the cartels in mexico while visiting family there and was killed by them when they found out that her uncle was involved with a rival cartel. In a way I'm glad she got what she deserved for cheating but than I feel bad for it happening. Is it ok to have hate?
I can't give you an answer from the perspective of morality, but from a practical standpoint, that hated likely doesn't do you any benefit. It's just a negative feeling you'll carry with you when you could be joyful about something else
karma does exist OP :) buy yourself a nice cold beer.
Hate is a natural emotion. It's nonsense to say we should always try to suppress it, or treat it like something alien.
In the last hours i've been going a lot to the bathroom. i pee a bit, not much, in fact, lesser quantities than normal, if not just a few drops, but i feel my pee in my penis the whole time and i need to constantly go back and forth there.
what is going on?
Does your back hurt? Any problems standing up? Probably a UTI, or kidney infection. Drink cranberry juice and high quantity of water.
Wait a ONE day. If it still prevails, seek medical attention aka urologist.
Ignoring the problem will most likely result in your penis falling off (probably an urinal infection). Also most of these problems can be solved by pills when treated with no delay.
>>16940183
I've always had back problems but never had any problem standing up. So nothing different in regards to that. The only real issue is my pee pee really.
How do I find a girlfriend?
>>16940125
Spoiler alert: not on 4chan.

A compass, a well-read cartographer, and a plucky sidekick.

bump. I need advice on how to stop being a petty insecure jealous person.
Meet more people. You probably feel this way because you don't have many interpersonal relationships.
>>16941032
Thank you, friend.
Meeting people is hard, but ultimately a good cure for "oneitis."
Is it true that if you "respond too fast" that you will push her away?
Or is it true that if she likes you then it wont matter?
>texting girl
>she responds immediately
>she keeps doing it
>not sure if should do it back or wait a few minutes or more each time
>panicking intensifies
>>16940074
I usually text back immediately or risk forgetting about doing it, so it means nothing to me, but if someone is noticeably texting slower and slower each time I'll start taking more time to text because I don't want to be too foreword, I lost a relationship over the fact.
Don't overthink it, if you're on your phone I see nothing wrong with replying quickly,
>>16940074
If you overthink it , you are essentially playing a game/being a mental effer.
If you read a text, respond to it. It's pretty simple. Do as you normally would, it's inevitable.
I'm scared of numbers, like infinite. I have an obsession with counting the population. 107 billion people have walked the Earth according to the Population Reference Bureau. I think it boils down to knowing that the increase of population has no reason to stop ever, unless some outside force stops it.
Autism.
>I'm scared of numbers, like infinite.
That isn't a problem?
Try to ask a question.
Become a mathematician and over come your fear
Hey, /adv/. Second-time poster on this board.
I guess I'll go straight to it.
I usually spend my weekdays working nine to five, and commuting 7 to 9 and then 5 yo 7. So I have 7 to 8 to walk the dog, then around 3 hours until bed time at 11.
I usually spend this time either on 4chan, where I can meet people who are usually male, around my age, who share my interests, but who are usually rude and with whom I can't form any sorts of long-lasting relationships.
Or, I can go to sites like omgegle, where I have to plow throw a botnet to find some humans. These humans are usually a lot younger than me, but they might be female. Our common interests aren't usually as strong - books I've read ten years ago and they''re reading now.
So, I'm a really solitary person, so those two options are pretty much my only contact with real people. Where do I have it better? Between the rude but relatable NEETS of my own age and gender, or between the polite but boring girls who are around half my age?
How should I spend m free 3 hours a day?
>>16940005
Smoke weed and jack off.
>>16940061
It's really more of an "I'm dying for human contact and don't know where to get it from" problem.
Jacking off is something I can do pretty fast by checking out some porn, so that's not realy a problem. Weed, I wouldn't know how to get in touch with someone to score it, and on top of it there's the legality problem, not to mention it's expensive. I'm barely scraping enough money to survive so adding weed to the buy list wouldn't be good.
Where to get human contact?
It is irony that in our modern world we ask such stupid questions but it is truth.
Look for GF?
Try to do some team sport? Then hang out with them?
Play online games? Get people you meet to chat?
Go out and meet other lonely looking people? :-D
What about your former schoolmates?
Jezus this question is hard.
Both of my roommates are going to be out of town come Wednesday for a week, and I'll finally have the house all to myself for more than a few hours. I haven't had this in about three years.
What should I do with the house all to myself?
Masturbate to porn playing through the speakers.
>>16939998
Came here to post this.
It's the only sensible response.
Walk around naked, eat their food.
>Hope you're having fun! :)
What did she mean by this?
>>16939984
Stop.
Youre reading too much into vague comments
Just stop.
>>16939984
She meant die in a fire.
>>16939984
So many ways to take this....context?
You spend 8-10 hours a day working to come into a class that shits all over you and gives no fucks about what you're saying.
Repeat 5x a week, 250 days a year. Summers are BS teacher training.
Good luck anon.
NEEEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR a teacher. I'd rather clean toilets for a living.
Two of my friends are teachers and my sister-in-law is a teacher. Two of them teach younger kids and don't really seem to complain too much about their jobs. One does sometimes but he teaches in a poor town so most of the people are ignorant and don't take care of their children so they have shitty kids. So he has to deal with shitty parents every once in awhile. The other friend teaches high school, also in a shit town, so he has to do deal shitty kids with shitty attitudes on daily basis.
So I guess from that I can assume if you teach kids in a decent part...
