realize that there are people twice your age in twice as much debt with half as many prospects
23 is young, really young. many people dont even get a degree by 30
there are kids down south in the states your age, your situation, except with 150 000 USD debt

you are not in a bad spot at all
>>71796879
look on the bright side, at least you aren't like me: A 23yo junior transfer student at a state college on your parent's dime... but oh wait serious medical conditions* will prevent you from finishing your credits and graduating before you are 25

you need a hobby, id suggest something manly like hunting but nobody will give you a gun with your mental history
soooo, you have to figure something out that will take you off your pc and away from reddit (i can tell you browse it at least 4h a day)
get a hobby and start lifting, even just half an hour a day 5 days a week, do ABABA with B being cardio and A being weights, running will also help with your depression and weight issues.
as for the job? get a job planting trees in the summer, contact all the local conservation authorities where you live and go plant trees. its good for your body and good for the environment.

but all around me are familiar faces...I mean, a lot of my friends are graduating this year, and I've been lying about me "having 2 more courses in the fall"...when I'm gonna have to take 1 year off due to bad grades with the faculty.
Fuck, I've reached that point in my life where success is not measures by how many answers you can get right on jeopardy or how well versed you are in history and philosophy. I used to think I could be well off with all these abstract riches, but I seriously am not. I want a fucking job and I want to succeed, I wanna get married and I wanna get a house and car. But right now it seems like it's literally decades away.
Why does /pol/ attract a bunch of whiny faggots? Grow the fuck up. You're the dip shit that flunked out and blamed depression. You don't get your foot in the door of politics by lining up a summer job, you start by being the filing bitch (read intern). I'm sure the University you dropped out of has plenty of Summer internship programs, but you wouldn't know because you flunked out. All you had to do was show up and take the tests. College wasn't even that hard.

You need a philosophy to deal with the depression.
Other than that you need to start over. Fresh. 23 is fucking young to start over. I know someone who went back to school at 29, another at 43.
But you need to deal with the depression.
Maybe watch this video.
Maybe read a Trump book. START OVER I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. 'POLITICAL TALENTS' aren't worth much. Could you jin th emilitary? It's much better to join as a college graduate. If you ROTC they pay for it all along.

>>71796879
I'm in a similar boat pal. Most adults don't do things with their undergrad major. You should finish your degree, but regardless try to get a temp job. They are sympathetic to white males, which odds are you are, and can get your foot in the door of a job. The only way you get a job if you're not talking to people in the field is by brute forcing applications making yourself look marketable and even then that doesn't work all the time. Life isn't over my dude and if you're dealing with depression on and off you should go take time for yourself and think about what you really want and take the steps to get there. Also don't cry about failing uni the >leaf system tries to get kids to drop out. US schools are all about safe space and sucking off undergrads. Unluckily enough for me I went to a difficult one and am being thrown into a job pool with kids that went to retard schools and developed stellar resumes. Once you enter the working world your problems will dissipate and you will be judged by your actions and your impressions on people and thats something to be eternally hopeful about. Other than the credit card debt though don't spend money that isn't yours you should feel guilty taking your parents money. Money is a representation of time and effort and if you didn't put time and effort in don't spend it.

I know your pain, OP. I'm 30. I have schizoaffective disorder. I had multiple breakdowns in school and dropped out a bunch of times, the last 6 credits shy of my degree. But I went back and got my BA a few years ago. It took me 8 years but I did it. Don't give up. Finish school. I live in my mom's basement now, but I'm going to go teach soon and pay off my $5,000 in student loan debt. After that I'll buy a cat and a sailboat and sail around the world. Hang in there bro.
>>71796879
Man up, Pepe. You have future and people who care for you. These are the only things you need to be strong.
My mother died in January and i don't have friends and in the same situation like you - out of money but cant work.

i have lost friends because i did not support them when they were fuckups, feels bad man but thats life
>when I'm gonna have to take 1 year off due to bad grades with the faculty.
you are lucky they will let you back in, some schools will just say seeya thanks for the $$$. in the mean time you can use that year to build up contacts. politics is all about social contacts. any 18 year old highschool graduate bozo can run for MP and lots of them often win. its kind of disgusting actually how often canadians vote for someone with zero experience to run their riding.
>I used to think I could be well off with all these abstract riches, but I seriously am not. I want a fucking job and I want to succeed, I wanna get married and I wanna get a house and car
heres probably the most sagely advice you will receive in this thread: the average house price in toronto is $1.2M, its the same in vancouver. you will not scrape $240k for a downpayment and make $135k a year any time soon. your only hope is to get your degree and get out of the cities. living in toronto or vancouver is a fucking scam, you will be poor forever.

Thanks for the honest reply
I don't plan on living in big cities. My home town is waterloo, so for now it's alright. And you're absolutely right about the gaming. Truth be told, it's not even a big part of my life. I'm not much of a gamer anyway, i just got on a nostalia binge one day and decided to play AoE II a bit on and off.
How can I pursue politics on the side? I honestly don't see myself doing anything else besides becoming a writer, and to me that seems even more of a challenge than getting into politics.

waterloo is a liberal shithole, you cant pursue politics there, you have to go more rural and get a main job, get into politics in other ways by volunteering for the party, going door to door, work you way up from the bottom in your spare time.

First of all, /r9k/.
Here's what you can do for your depression.
1) See a doctor, get medication. It helps.
2) Start working out because it changes your brain chemistry.
3) Practice meditation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, etc. You have to force yourself to think positive.
4) Remember that determinism is a useless ideology. You can actually change your brain's mRNA expression patterns via your behaviors.
5) Find outdoor activities to do and stop staying inside all the time; sunlight makes you happier.
6) Trust me. I'm a scientist.

Not much.
Quit my job, applied for and got accepted to teach english in Korea.
I've been hanging out for the last couple months fucking around, reading and studying for the lsat. Getting between 170-173 on my timed practice tests.
With the way the legal industry is going I'm pretty much only going to law school if I can get into a t14 (I think I have a decent shot at Georgetown) or a steep tuition cut at a t2.
I'm sober 5 months today after 3.5 years of alcoholism.
I've been averaging 40 mile weeks for several months now and I weigh as much as I did in highschool (179-84 lbs down from 195-200 lbs).
Been with my gf for almost five months now.
Things are as good as ever.
I took her virginity and she's my first long term relationship.
The sex keeps getting better and better.
It could be better (moving back in with my parents soon to save a little money before I head to Korea, gf is going to stay stateside for 2 months while I'm in Korea to finish up her BA meaning there'll be a little more than 3 months where we'll be able to see each other weekly or not at all), I have contingency plans if law school doesn't work out but they're far from fully fleshed out now. I'm on antidepressants (have been for about 2 months now). I feel loads better but there's some uncertainty about how I'll be able to take my prescription out of the country.
But life is good.
I'm very happy.

Guys, I will be re-taking a library tech exam on Tuesday. I'm sure I'm wasting my time, but it's such a dream job for me.

What else can I do? I fucking need this.
>>71799729
You should at least see a doctor. They can help you. Sorry you don't like meds. I've taken them, and yes they have side effects (decreased pleasure from sex is one of them), but not being a mental wreck all the time is worth it, IMO.
>>71796879

University degree is a long term investment m8. On a long enough timeline, the university degree will pay off much much more than not having a university degree. That being said, I'm a huge faggot for not having the mustering up the will to finish strong.
I don't know exactly what it was that made me so lethargic, probably a combination of a lot of retarded things like this website for instance (not that I hate you guys, it's just /pol/ is such a waste of time for me, literally days wasted away with no return on the biggest investment of all [time]).

British Columbia, Kamloops (our local university here is TRU)
They don't want you to possess a firearms license, my recruiters told me they would rather train you on how to shoot from the ground up. I actually attained my security clearence and am just waiting right now.
As for University, not really. If I had to pick it would probably have been political science. Police recrutiers told me they have so many applicants with police&justice and criminology that they don't pick from those hiring pools very much because they like to see broad experience.
but what would I do with a political science degree? Not to mention I have a friend doing that and he told me they were writing essays on how Donald Trump is going to be mad for America and the problems with racism in American politics; and having taken the redpill I would probably get banned from most of those classes for having differing opinions.
So instead I just worked my ass off and built up a shit ton of money, bought a nice car, gained some broad experience, made a youtube channel (no I'm not linking it here) with videos that have over a million views and I'm hoping that I can make some difference out there if I get accepted in with the police.
If I would have attended university none of this would have happened. Now whether this will come back and bite me in the ass in the future remains to be seen, but I'm thinking it wont.
Also police officers do start around 50-60k a year but with overtime make upwards to 80,000 a year. Within 5 years most of them are clearing 100k simply due to the fact of overtime alone. I know because I know a lot of police officers.
>>71797283
Oh yeah, in order to get into politics family needs money. Have to buy you way in.

>>71800442
>University degree is a long term investment m8. On a long enough timeline, the university degree will pay off much much more than not having a university degree.
That can be true, depending on what you major in. On the flip side, many of the degrees are trash and the economy is so shit you cant find jobs doing the shit you studied for (excluding a few fields)
The arguement that it will pay off in the long run used to be true (again depending on the degree) but when you actually get out and look for work you will find employers are more concerned on your experience in the field rather than a piece of paper that states you are qualified.
For example, take a look at the tech sector. If you have a portfolio with projects and shit proving you can work in that field and experience they will hire you over somebody with a degree. Chances are that job is going to go to some east indian anyway but you get the drift.
It's like that for a lot of fields. I'm not saying the degree is going to hurt you, but going 40-100k in debt and having to spend years paying that off just to start making profits compared to somebody who spent those years working and making money and building up their work experience and focusing on the projects they want to focus on are going to be better off.
The days of university degrees being the answer are long gone. The market is flooded with them. Employers want experience and proof you can do the job. Again there are some fields where this simply is not the case, but a lot of those jobs are being taken by foreigners who those companies can pay substantially lower wages to.

>Try to accomplish something everyday

>what would I do with a political science degree?
Have expanded your mind and met some really fucking cool people / proffs.
>having taken the redpill I would probably get banned from most of those classes for having differing opinions.
You'd be surprised. I had a friend write an essay for a political science class a few years ago who's thesis was that we should stop all aid to Africa (solution to overpopulation for present resources etc). The proff told him that this was a terrible idea, but he still did well on the eassay because it was done correctly. Any academic worth their weight in salt isn't petty enough to let their own opinions interfere with that. Of course, YMMV.
>worked my ass off ... come back and bite me
If you're happy, don't bother thinking about "what if". Ignorance is bliss, and you'd just be trading well deserved contentment for meaningless reminiscing. Learn from the past and think about the future.
>start around 50-60k a year but with overtime make upwards to 80,000 a year
Ahh. I was wondering about the figure because I took the other path and am starting at something similar.
side bar:
>would rather train you on how to shoot from the ground up
That's all well and good, but it adds a hobby, job skill proficiency and MUCH NEEDED knowledge of the legal framework on the enforcement side. Consider getting it anyway, even after you become a cop (I had a young cop from a town over in my club level handgun course a few years ago), we can own some pretty cool shit here, and you'd always have an available range.

OP, you have a gf at least. I can't even let myself feel the love my parents show because i think it makes me look weak.

Holy fuck so many losers in this thread lmao. No wonder why you cunts hate woman and black people

I love women and black women.
But I am a loser as luck will have it.
Wifes only still with me cause I get her off like a stallion
>>71803279
Its really telling a lot about this board. Remember these are the guys talking about other ppl being degenerate, worthless leeches.
>>71802947
Are you attractive? If you are then just fake being confident until you land a girlfriend and become confident for real.
If you're ugly I have no advice for you.
i can easily fix your and my own lives
but only theoretically
like I have a clear layout of what I have to do and how I have to do it, and 90% it will work
but I just cant act
should I get adderall or something like this?
>>71803424
No. Adderall will fucking ruin you.

I could pass alright, but I dont go out in public much.
I only really go out if i need to, if a rare event that friends invite me to hang out, or to work.
I havent even told any of my friends other than my one closest that i left school.
>>71803502
Then go for it, mate. If you're really at rock bottom then you're fucking free as can be. You can literally do whatever you want, try whatever you want, indulge in whatever you want. If you're at rock bottom then any decision you make will either be a good one or a neutral one.
So go for it I guess.
>>71798032
Stay strong brother. All things must pass.
>>71803732
Is there anything tangible you actually want?
>>71796879
Join le military, you have enough credits to skip a few ranks and in 8 credits go officer. Do that for a few years and unfuck your shitty life.
Toughen up Ontariobro. I just finished a bachelor's at U of T I started in 2008. It could always be worse my man.
>>71802947
The only advice I can give you is to get into IT. Just get some certificates in whatever field you prefer or learn to program and set up a Github account with your projects.
There's a huge shortage of skilled people in IT and guess what employers actually prefer natives over Pajeet.
>>71796879
it can always get worse. just practice the performance that is courting women with positive rhetoric, because once that goes, she goes.
>>71803832
not at rock bottom tho
Get a job
Get a hobby
Fuck your gf
Do something fun
Apply again next year

>>71803962
Not really. For a long time i have convinced myself i was content with that I had and that "content" was happy. I am comfortable with what I have materially, but I hate myself and just can't find much a good reason to think otherwise. nothing to be proud of.
I don't need anything tangible, though money would ease my financial burden and ease some anxiety over that. Work/money and Happiness are my only wants, the latter being the most important overall.
Seriously, there are lawyers that hated their jobs and joined up anyway.

Become a career military man with that degree maple-nigger. Become an officer and grind till you become staff-level.
It's all bureaucracy from there
>>71796879
OP I was in a co-op program doing an Actuarial Degree and paid back all my loans with my co-op and still have 8000$ saved. Also, the government offered me an additional 32000$ credit if I ever wanted to go back to school. I might go back for another degree but I'll save upto 20000$ before I return so I have sufficient margin to live a comfortable life on scholarship instead of loans.
I am telling you this because I would have been in your position if I didnt have a co-op program. Therefore, I'd suggest you to take some time off, work your ass off in a retail job, pay back your debt and save enough money to complete your credit. Also, I'd suggest you enrolling in another degree if you want some real career prospects or become a cop
>>71802947
Join the military and finish your degree in basket weaving while enlisted. At the end of your enlistment you can just become an officer and jack off in the military for the rest of your life if you can't find a job.
>>71801994
Except you're not starting out. You are as advanced in life as a 12 year old. Gtfo /pol/ and do something about it faggot

>>6k euro left in my bank account
You say that like its a negative point. No wonder greece went to shit, what the hell do you expect from farming olives and having some nice beaches
I'd be really happy to have 6k cash readily available
>>71804979
I have no degree, no job (impossible to find a job)
and only 6k
what would you do in my situation?
>>71805028
smuggle refugees
>>71805028
>impossible to find job
With that mindset for sure.
Apply more, what does sitting on your ass accomplish? Even if you do not get the jobs, the experience is usefull. If you still have 6k on your account you have all the ressources to make yourself look presentable and the time is obviously there aswell, considering you can shitpost on /pol/.

You will be so grateful to me when I give you hope, respect and a future that you will do anything for me without thought or question. It takes a depressed and defeated man to know the value of pride. I will give you back that pride and it will be the greatest gift you have ever received.

Your biggest issue is your motivation and depression. You need to fix that asap. It'll fuck you hard. Don't get caught up on things. What I've learned so far from life is that happiness is the key, and you can even be poor and happy if you don't want to make a lot of money. Make sure you have hobbies you enjoy, people you enjoy, etc. Cut the negativity out of your life. Have goals, with smaller goals and work towards the smaller goals. Reward yourself every time you complete one. Don't get caught up on the past, it's done. Assess the situation, make a plan to improve it, and start working on that. The past is done and your only option is to move forward. Remember that you're the only person that can change your situation and no one really cares that much about it.

>>71796879
All depends what you would like to be doing with your life. Obviously you like it as smug as it is.
It's okay man, not everyone can succeed. Join the Navy and get into a technical field--electrician, power plant operator, intelligence, etc. You'll at least learn how to handle your own shit.

Happiness is worthless. It's only goodness and righteousness that matter. And being right.

>>71796879
Could be worse i just turned 27 and my major in environmental science does me no good as the jobs it gets me are all seasonal minimum wage jobs or unpayed internships. So im now a cashier at a grocery store because it has better prospects and ways to go up the corporate ladder. Sure $12 an hour is kind of shit but its better then working at 0 an hour.
I mean im talking about working 1-2 years as an unpayed intern just so i can get a job with the park service. Thats basically slavery right there. Yet since its a government job they hire any gay, tranny, or non white person like its going out of style.
Why not do something different take the year off of school and work at something pay off your loans then decide if you want to go back.

Maybe he was living in a nice open area away from it all, but little did he realize that main wireless communication of a country gone through his brains from one city to another, then cancer happens. Such is life.

No it's not. I've been homeless and built a business that made 400-500k/yr. When you've experienced both you'll realize that happiness is key, and also that it's easy to achieve your dreams.

I've lived in NYC my whole life and I'm an electrical engineer, finally moving out in June, I'm seriously terrified about something like this happening to a massive number of people in a decade or two.
I do barely use my phone but still, there's wifi, cell towers etc. Maybe I should go full tinfoil and get faraday caging for my bedroom when I move
>>71802176
hes retarded
>>71808260
> get faraday caging for my bedroom
hah, i actually know people here in BC who do that
>>71808258
I have incredible little doubt I've been through way worse shit than you. Happiness is literally worthless. The only thing worth a single shit in this world is righteousness.
>>71808260

I know the established science but there's still the nagging paranoia in the back of my head that we're not being told the full extent of the dangers. Especially with cell towers.
>>71808667
I can't imagine how it would feel being told I'm dying, my heart really goes out to anyone in that situation. Literally my nightmare
>>71809476
Contemplating your own mortality is actually very good though, too many people are scared of death when it's the one destination we all share. Obviously nobody wants to die 'early' but we all need to realise that nothing is in our control and to make the most of our short lives whilst we can.

Shh, these types of people don't understand and their confirmation bias runs wild.
>>71796879
Leafbro please pay attention carefully.
1-The first step for you is to find the way to complete those credits in order to get your degree. Try to check out if there are online options, or classes at night. If not, then you'll have to sacrifice more time and effort, but it'll be worth it.
2-Since you won't be having many lessons, please try to find a job either as a tutor or something else, so you can have some extra income, and avoid getting more debt.
3-Once you have your degree in your pocket there are only 2 ways up: Going to Law school or getting in the military. Not sure how's the system in Canada, but in some countries, after you complete the appropriate training, you become an officer.
If you don't do this, teaching will be the only possible option.
>>71806621
That's terrible anon
Please don't lose hope!
I hope things will go well for you, and please keep in mind that you'll always have us, your shitposter friends on /pol/
>>71805494
Anon, please don't give up just yet
Maybe you could try learning a trade, related to mechanics, that would be a good start. Never underestimate the power of empirical and practical education!
Maybe you won't be designing robots next year, but you could be modifying engines and things like that. Please give yourself the chance to try!

Well done burgerbro.
Leaf, don't get down, you have a duty towards your family and girlfriend: remember that to cry and whine won't solve anything, look for advice as you are doing and ACT.
Never lull yourself into negative thoughts, never let bad feelings get you, it's a destructive pattern.
I was overweight (1,80 m x 109 kg and I was always 'oh I'm fat, nothing I can do, it won't get better'), then I got on diet in September and now I'm 86 kg, I'm swimming and on September I'll start working out.
I'm graduating within Sept-Oct and my health and physical form are getting better by the day.
Don't think, ACT.

Right there with ya OP, I won't be graduating until I'm 26 because I was a degenerate that did way too many drugs when I was younger and had to drop out. Luckily I'm in a stem field with a very high demand and will only have maybe 5-8k in debt when I graduate. It sucks when people ask how old you are in class but I look young so I typically blend right in.
Everything I do in my life is browse internet do my retarded clerk work and sleep.
At least I have no debt haha
