You may not feel passion for engineering because you're addicted to the vice that is gambling and acquiring. When you're addicted to something, its very tough to have interest or passion in other things. You rarely hear about alcoholics having many real hobbies.

Im not saying you have to be an engineer, but it gets scary when you type things like the above; you're relating other people's work and jobs versus your addiction and hobby.

From the cancelled auction to the possibly leaving home to the admitted addiction, you have got a lot on your plate and I want you to take it seriously. This isnt a pitch for an engineering career, this is just a pitch to take this seriously.
Talk to me on PM.

I think it has to do with more than gambling. Something is not right. Back in high school, I was sober and didn't gamble, my hobbies diminished when schoolwork got hard. Yeah, I made myself addicted to schoolwork of my own will, I had a lot of pressure from my family and strong peer pressure made me to someone I didn't want to be. I lived in a wealthy and educated neighborhood with high competition. Culturally, this is normal from my family's origin. Basically, I pushed myself to be someone I didn't want to be, then failed with addiction. Now I am trying to fix the derailing.

I went to a school that's super competitive on my own will, without really thinking it was a good fit for me. It was not and lost more interest in schoolwork (and Engineering). I tried so hard that I only studied and got 3.5/4.0 but nothing else. Until I'm 23, I didn't know how to listen to myself on genuine interests. I did what I'd be good at, not what I liked. That's the biggest mistake I found, family and friends never told me so glad I asked for help here.

That's when I started to get depressed and lost interest in lots of things, then there comes gambling.

That's why I quit harvesting. I had a very bad sign, so I stopped on my own on Convention Day 1.

Since I was very little, I always felt job and major are obligations (to pay bills/support family etc), which should be treated seriously. I treated seriously and always on-time, but the rest were not so pretty. Someone here told me I have an undiscovered mental health problem I developed over the years of not listening to myself, so it's going in the right direction. It has to do with addiction (as well as only being focusing on 1 thing) it wasn't discovered.

True and I made myself into a social alcoholic during college...

Now not really because I don't enjoy drinking and nobody around me expects me to.

Truth is I never wanted to drink and under 21 was a great excuse not to drink. Never cared for fake ID, which people around me had.

The result is I got sick after the party, by doing what I genuinely didn't want to do. I did it because of peer pressure, and I was 21 back then so I didn't know how to listen to myself. Now I quit faking myself, that's better right?

Yes to everything, addictions oftentimes fill holes in our lives. You're heard and valued here but we're not enough, this is way over our heads. I appreciate that someone here may have told you something that helped but please know we aren't professionals and you should speak to one. Much love, going to be done here because I can't help.

Sent you a PM.

Yeah we aren’t professionals, but people here told me where to and what to get help. That’s the most important thing I gained from here lately. Appreciate your comment.
 
@greenchip

I wish you all the best.

I'm not going to tell you what you should do (in this thread), but I will tell you what I see from your posts.

You don't like being an engineer. You have a upcoming problem with housing (costs). The mental stress is getting to you.
These look like the biggest three issues you have (which they are huge, not going to lie).
Good news: you are still at the star of your adult life. And you are adulting so hard right now.

I just want to repeat to really drive it home:
You don't like being an engineer. You have a upcoming problem with housing (costs). The mental stress is getting to you.

I will say this:
Work From Home options are out there for a number of different industries.
When you WFH, you can live anywhere there is internet (even cheaper (possibly better?) places than CA).
You have a lot of friends here that want to see you succeed.

I know you have PMs to a few people here already, but if you want another person to talk to, hit me up as well.

Yeah I hate being an Engineer, like ewww why I became one it's the biggest mistake in my life! I finished chores for my family since I'm still jobless. I realized I enjoy laundry, cleaning the house, etc. Honestly, with the same level of pay as a Janitor vs Engineer job I can get, I want to be a Janitor. I'd love to see people get happy with places being clean.

If I'm forced to pick to be an Engineer or a Servant, I will pick Servant. That's how much I hate it.

Ideally, I can forget about Engineering, it haunts my mind. I strongly dislike talking about new phones or technology when I am off-duty, but I liked it when I started Engineering.

I like clean things, so I enjoyed cleaning LE bike tires. I don't like hands-on stuff other than cleaning, hate making my hands dirty (although liked when I was a kid).

I see my heart is getting uglier with Engineering. My life got so much uglier. I want to purify and detox that BS, yeah cleaning here too!

There is a reason most of the chips I sell are clean. I carefully wash them one by one. Cleaner chips are easier to sell.

@Carnth Can you PM me more about remote options? I applied to a lot of remote jobs around 2021-2022, but they were super competitive like 400 applicants in a day for 1 position.
 
@louBdub pros and cons? I need to know both before making decisions. I’ve looked into Alabama, why people (not here, but Google search) keep talking badly about it?


I went to a different state for college, learned pros and cons became ok I can move. Then I didn’t learn the pros of cons of college itself… can’t make the same mistake again.

I’m the type of person who thinks what’s on social media is fake and I want to know the true facts, than popular fact. Slots are easy to win at social media right. Nobody will be like I make money on slots every time in reality. They just show the pros, not the cons like slots being shit tight.
