What's the best paying job a 23 year old male can get to help pay for college? I really want out of retail. I live in the Houston area where there are a lot of Chemical plants and refineries if that helps any.
Get a job that relates to your major.
>>17255965
Apply for jobs at chemical plants and refineries.
>>17255965
Until you get your degree maintance in a refinery can be suprisly good pay. Most of it will be routine base stuff, but since it is a refinery this is hazardous potential

/adv/ i just graduated and I'm really depressed thinking that I'll probably end-up working in a boring office for a shitty 9-5 job for my whole life. How do you avoided this situation guys?
>>17255936
regardless, most people who graduate are going to be stuck working a job they dislike for a little while. You have to gain experience and once you do this it's going to be easier to move on to other things you'll actually enjoy.
You have to be able to shoot for things outside your comfort zone. If there's a job you're not sure about, apply anyways and check it out.
As long as you make sure to keep some savings up in case you get inbetween jobs, you'll be fine.

We just stayed at home after highschool.
Then played vidya for 10 years.

Thank you for the advice but there isn't much of a choice after University and I really can't think of a subject or a job i'd like to apply
Alright /adv/ I come to you since /fit/ are always a bunch of memers. This is my current body. I used to be obese a small 2? years back and with lifting and dieting i currently achieved this. That said I'm not a complete noob to the gym so I am probably past newbie gains.
So now let's get down to business I want to turn this body into something ottermodeish yknow.
So questions.
first of all how do I achieve this?
What do I do with carbs?
Is it actually achievable for me?
I really want to know because my body/looks have given me...

Lol u are far from fat. Work on your chest. And consider shaving till you ascend, you look like shit with it now. Once you get fit, you can pull it off.but not now
you need protein. Id suggest getting whey protein and eating chicken. Also use one of those invererted boards for doing sit ups to help you define your ans and work on your pectorals I would suggest free weights again use the inverted board to do inverted bench press to define your pecs underneath and do regular bench press and incline bench. maybe do some shoulder raises for your shoulders and do some exercises for your forearms I don't know what to call them but you curl your hands in to your forearms while holding weights then do your curls for biceps and you might as...

I was gonna shave this week. really thanks for your advice btw!
My boyfriend and his brothers have no problem being naked in front of each other and their parents. Is this normal? I'm completely creeped out by it. I was over the other day, and his brother came home from work. Not realising they had company over, he walked naked through the hall to the shower, and bumped into me. He apologised profusely.
When I asked my boyfriend about it, he didn't see a problem. I was mortified, and asked what if his parents, or other family, had seen his brother naked. Then he gave me a really weird look, like he couldn't understand what the problem was, and said "they're my parents. They raised me. They've seen me naked plenty of times. I don't see the problem." WTF?! He later clarified that his mother is never naked around them, but his father has no problem joining them nude in the sauna, and that my boyfriend has similarly walked from his room to the shower nude, bumped into his mother, and spoken to her like that before. WTF
This is weird, isn't it? Or am I too uptight? Surely it's not healthy for adult children to be comfortable with their parents seeing them naked.
>>17255787
For me, it's not weird at all.
I walked in front of my parents naked all the time and they did the same, when we lived together.
you're the weirdo
op, you might have some unresolved childhood issues.
Hey advice, you guys helped me out so much in the past and I appreciate all of you anons. During this saga of my life; I'm thinking of taking a semester off from my 4 year university and working. I plan on returning in the Spring, but I just don't have the money to continue right now. This would be my second year in college. Right now I'm a graphic designer making 12$ a hour. My family is super poor and my mother and I are the only ones in our family of five with an income. What should I do?
Self bump
An hero
>work
>support family
>go back to school when you can
If your family is super poor and you and your mom are the only ones with an income, what the fuck do you think the consequence will be for them? Immense trauma, mother with intense guilt, scarring your other family members, funeral costs, less money, etc.
If you want to 'get out', do something you like. Hike, play sports, shitpost on 4chan, talk to friends, read a book, whatever. Just don't commit suicide....

I've just been to see a room to rent. The guy is from my country and seems legit. However I have searched for what his name appears to be judging by his email address and can't find any evidence of him.
I've said I'll take the room and he said that's great and can we get things done this as soon as possible.
Although I'm prone to paranoia I don't want to get scammed here.
How can I ask and what can I ask for, in a way that isn't rude, to see something that will give me grounds to get my money back or something...

What?
Can I ask to get some confirmation from the landlord first?
I presume he's going to just ask me to send him the deposit to make sure I'm serious about moving in. But if I do that and he dissapears I literally have no leg to stand on.
The guy is already doing me a favour by pushing the move-in date forward a week so I don't want to sound like I don't trust him.
>>17255758
Yes you can.
Guys, I never thought I'd have THIS kind of problem but I need some advice.
A girl that I know (objectively 8/10) asked me to go to prom with her. I know for a fact, that I can fuck her if I go and I also know she's super kinky.
Here's the problem: It's this saturday and I'd rather stay at home, jerk off and play vidya.
Question: How do I politely decline without losing my chance of fucking her later?
>>17255707
Literally do what you want.
Just tell her you can't go to prom for some unfortunate reason.
You probably will lose your chance to fuck her though, because most likely she plans on getting laid, regardless of if it's with you or whatever other guy she goes with.
I say go and just have fun, man.
Why is it so important for you to be Forever Alone?
>>17255726
It's not like I've never fucked a girl before. I did even have a few relationships that lasted for a while.
But I don't really see the point in going to prom and fucking her. I might as well just jerk off. Same effect, but less exhausting.
What do men do when they want attention?
I can't just go half-shirtless somewhere and put my tits on a desk.
>>17255689
>I can't just go half-shirtless somewhere and put my tits on a desk.
Why not?
Men tend to ignore girls they don't find attractive. They don't exist.
If they often start a chat chances are they are already in the bag.
>>17255701
Because somehow the only fragment of dignity and self-respect I have left just had to be the one that keeps me from trannying up for disgusting old dudes.
Also, I'd make a really fucking ugly woman.
Recently my shower has been all kinds of fucked up at my apartment and only sprays out hot water that burns me. So I went to the front office to submit a maintenance request and after I finished that the girl at the front told me I could use her shower, since mine was really hot. L
Was I being hit on? Because I sort of felt like I was but In might be reading too much into it.
Without a lot of info to go on, I'd say maybe. You should just experiment with it and see how it goes. Take her up on her offer, use her shower, then try to make conversation after.
>>17255698
Honestly it's probably too late now. My shower has been fixed and I'm not going to be going to the front desk all the time just to talk to her.
I'm just shit at figuring out what flirting is. Even when I do find a girl that likes me I can't do anything with her because I don't know that she likes me.
>>17255723
Just pretend your shower is still broken and try it once to see how it goes, you idiot
A shitty haircut has just collapsed my entire self-esteem and concept of self-worth for the time being.
Wat do.
>>17255626
Shave your head.
>>17255626
>>17255626
I don't understand why simple questions like this are posted.
>go get it fixed elsewhere or by yourself
>if it's too short shave it off learn to Rock shaved head
>if you are female wear hats
>if none of the above works do confidence building exercises
And if none of those work then admit you want the attention...

Shave your head for charity.
Make a massive deal about it, attention whore the shit out of it.
My sister says one of her coworkers thinks I'm cute and "likes" me. She's said this more than once now..
And today she asked if I wanted her to hook it up
How do I say yes without sounding like I'm desperate? I'm not sure if she was serious or not
'Sure'
'Yes'
'Ok'
>>17255617
pretty much this. I don't understand the problem OP.
But like she mentioned it earlier today and time has passed, how do I bring it up again without being awkward?
Just started to play go. Any tips on how to get better other than just practice a lot?
Trying to get good at go is more futile than trying to get good at chess.
>>17255551
Books.
Videos.
Play with lots of people.
Play with people who are at your level or are better than you.
give up because a machine is already better than you anyway
Guy is ignoring me. What do I do
Pic related?
background please
Probably because you're annoying as fuck.
What can you get from friendship that you can't get on 4chan?
Human contact
>>17255508
