I am 26-year-old unemployed Indian male. What should I do?
Firstly, stop thinking about your age. We are living in a society where everything is time bound. Everything follows a timeline. According to people, you should have gained at least 3 years of work experience. Don't give a damn to any shit. And if you keep on thinking that I'm 26 and unemployed, then very soon you will going to post that I'm 28, single and unemployed. Obviously, you don't want this to happen. Let me tell you my story. I'm also 26 years old girl and soon going to turn 27. My condition was same as yours an year back. Even I used to think about all these things but gained nothing. Failed in many competitive exams. Then one fine day, I deactivated everything, facebook, instagram WhatsApp, everything which was distracting me and then worked hard to achieve my goal and finally I proved myself. Since then, no one asked me about my age, years I remained unemployed, nothing. Marriage proposals started flooding. I forgot to tell about my qualifications and how long I remained unemployed. Well, I'm an engineering graduate from an average college. Sitting at home since 2014 to 2017, unemployed. Hope you can understand my condition. But one thing which kept me going was hope and my instincts. I do not listen to anyone. I just follow my instincts. And then finally proved myself. If I would have taken a private job or any other job to remain busy and free from societal pressure, might be I will end up being depressed. It doesn't matter how long you remain unemployed. What matter is, steps you take to come out of that situation. Trust me, the one who are not following their heart and just doing job to earn their daily bread, their condition is worse that yours. I believe being unemployed is better than doing the job which doesn't interests you. This unemployment condition taught me so many lessons. Once you become employed, then you will realise that you were growing mentally and emotionally. So, just don't think about past. Free yourself from all the regrets and think about the reasons. Then dedicatedly, work towards it and after some months, you will be on track. And most importantly, keep yourself away from negativity and negative people. All the best and hope you will post some good news soon. Be optimistic.
18 year old guy dating a 23 year old woman?
Alright so I searched around and couldn't find any sort of question that could help answer my problem at hand. I have been spending time with this 23 year old 2-3 times a week. She is amazing, a lot of fun to spend with and I can talk to her for hours. I completely enjoy waking up next to her in the morning and she can turn a shitty day into a good one. My main concern is our age difference, she will be turning 24 in April before I turn 19. She has graduated from college and I am just beginning my freshman year. The noticeable differences continue however we do both want to date each other. There are a few factors standing in our way mainly the fact that we work together and I am her subordinate. I would need to quit my job to insure she does not get fired, but she is most certainly worth it (if the relationship were a guarantee to work). I am very hesitant that upon quitting my job this relationship will not work out due the age difference (especially the part about me not being 21) and the fact that we are currently in very different stages of our lives. Please do not tell me I am not mature enough to handle this sort of relationship (I know who I am and I have grown a lot from my cocky asshole i can get with any girl stage when I was 16) and most importantly she can see that. I just need some advice on whether or not you think this could work... and why you think that... Thank you in advance ...
Is an 18 year old boy with $80 in the bank, no job, no debt, no expenses and not in school doing well for himself?
IMHO - and thanks for the A2A.I would not say “not doing well”. I would say that at the age of 18, it’s time that you have a job (past time in my own opinion), and it’s imperative to finish schooling. In this day and age, nearly everywhere you go wants at minimum a High School Diploma or GED.Jobs out there are not easy to get when you are not able to show that you were dedicated enough to follow through on education. When they see that, they will wonder if you will follow through on performing well on the job with them.Also, not having debt is nice, but you also have built up no credit. If there is nothing in your name and there is no financial history, you need to get something put into your name (such as an electric bill…), or you will not be able to show a good credit history. That goes back to not being able to get a job because a prospective employer will not feel confident that you will do a good job working for them. Some employers check credit histories before they will even consider giving you a job.In today’s economy, credit history and education are key to success. Finish school or get a GED. Then get a job, if you don’t already have one.
Are there any benefits of having two Associates degrees?
Not really. An AA in English is not a vocational qualifier for any jobs and the AA you have is sufficient for "has some college" on job applications. However, an AAS in some vocational/trade area might have considerable value - particularly in this economy. Even if you never work in the field, just being trades qualified makes you a candidate to manage them once you have the bachelor's degree. But the real advantage is that, if you get the right one, there's always some work to be had. "Fixers of things" is coming into a labor shortage position whereas "readers of literature" has never been a high demand occupational group. I'd suggest an AAS in something highly vocational and possibly even stereotypical "man's work" because those are about to be extremely labor short.
How hard is life without a college degree?
I am currently a first semester freshman in college, and it's just not what i thought it would be. It's not like i'm failing my classes or anything, but i just feel like this isn't right for me. I want to know how much of a living i could make if i quit school after this semester (Around christmas time), moved back home for about 3 months, then moved somewhere else (probably out east). My lifestyle doesn't cost too much. I can usually get by with just eating an instant breakfast and $10 pizza box from pizza hut everyday. Other than having a T.V. i wouldn't need much else, except for the occasional video game. I have about $500 saved up right now, plus however much i would make in those 3 months i was home. There is also a chance i could move out east with my sister (since she's graduating after this semester) and live with her until i find a good job and place to live. I guess my question really is how good of a living could i make for myself if i quit college now?
I'm 26 years old, living with parents, unemployed - am I a loser?
No, you are not a loser . . .It doesn't matter if you are male or female in this economy! I have a feeling Hello Kitty can dish it out but can't take it. I'd encourage you to look at joining the Guard or Reserves if they are near you. It would get you out of the house, meet some new people (and potential contacts) and give you some money for tuition to get a degree that is more in demand. If that's not an option, can you take on some part time work while you figure out your next move? Are you interested in starting a business at all? I saw on TV where 2 lawyers started a part time business selling ugly Christmas sweters online. They ended up quitting their day jobs and doing the ugly Christmas sweaters full time. You'll get through this. Promise.
Is 27 too old to go back to college?
You are absolutely not too old! If you can get the means to go back to college don't even worry about the other students. You will socialize, make friends, and get along fine just like other students. Yes, older students do still go to colleges with the "younger" ones. You don't have to take night classes and online classes only. From my perspective, it hasn't been the least bit awkward or anything having older students in classes. College is diverse, you have super young freshman and new students that take a break to study abroad or save money. Your situation isn't that rare. You'd be surprised how many people are often in the very same position you are, feeling the same worries. My campus has high school students taking college classes too (some special program on campus where their junior and senior year are their freshman and soph. year of college). Anyway, you should totally go back to school. Good Luck!
