Say hi to L'il Sebastian for me.

I dont see what Star Lord has to do with it.

He's making Parks and Rec references.

Chris Pratt, an actor on Parks and Rec, also plays Star Lord.

I didn't make the Chris Pratt reference. I was far more direct.

True, it was less of a reference than a wrecking ball.

No no, it was. Carry on.

To the best of my knowledge you're just a few years older than me and now I'm worried.

You know what they say: In the end, death and diplomats will come for us all.

Oh ok. I didn't get the reference

Currently a student, didn't think much about careers when I was a kid, tbh. Kinda wanted to be a police officer for a bit when I was younger.

Currently, I hope to get into writing and/or filmmaking. If that doesn't work, probably will just go with military.

My true focus hasn't changed much, to be fair: I didn't know what to do until 7th grade (before that I always answered to the question with cliché responses like "teacher" or "soccer player"), when I became interested in economics and became a pseud -- currently in the 1st year of HS and digging into macro, this is so fucking enjoyable -- and my shifts always happened to be into the field of finances. So basically yea, trying to find spare time to work up my skills and hopefully studying through an Econ Bachelor's when this hell ends.

Literally sums up the last year or so of my life

Except as you can see by my sig, I ended up doing the latter.

Thanks for the advice ESTERNiAL

Re:my earlier post
You said:-
Programming is not a bad focus. There's still a big demand for capable programmers.

If you can get into data science, even better.

That’s would be a bit difficult though, it would be pretty damn good if I could. I coded way back when and most places used minis. To give you an idea, it was when pcs with 3 megabyte discs ruled the earth- so this fossil is dead as far as most IT is concerned.

Cheers for the encouragement though. Its a pity I didn't keep au fait with it otherwise things might be different.

I'm glad that you replied as I need to print out my earlier posting. I've got an appointment later today with a disability advisor. They're meant to assist me in some way, we'll see.

Currently in that terrifying state between being a university student and having to go out into the dreary world, though I do also have a summer job at the moment.

When I was younger I think I wanted to either be a soldier, cop, or professional lazy person. Now I plan on seducing a rich older women and being a trophy husband, much easier then getting shot at.

What? I love getting shot at.

The hard part is dealing with briefings or leadership that wants to flex

Heh, I guess everyone has their thing. Yeah, once I got to know people in the military I realized it probably wasn't for me for various reasons, an overabundance of bullshit for one.

I mean I don't have a problem with the people I've come to know, it's more their stories of life in the military are not the best recruitment material.

I mean you learn to deal with bullshit. It’s also largely dependent on your MOS and unit. I happen to be smart and scored high enough on my ASVAB to get any MOS I wanted. So now I get to be generally left alone to do what I do, which involves tracking certain persons down and making sure bad things happen to them.

It’s fantastic

Noice, I haven't fully written it off but its not at the top of my list.

I’d recommend going officer and/or Air Force, better pay and treatment

Or you can be manly man and go Army. Or I guess Muhrines as well if you really want, I guess.

I never considered Navy personally because I’m claustrophobic and the idea of living on a ship irks me. I’m not going to do this as a career, tbh, but if I do, I’m going officer. I’m pretty set to be making quite a bit of money with a future career in the CIA or NSA. The Army’s just a stepping stone for me to become a better human.
