Still my favorite scene from that show. Those people were getting so mad lol
I hate my life, I hate my looks, I wish I can restart my life.
I missed out on the most fun part of teen and 20s. **** my life. Trying my best to get cancer seriously because I can’t even get a McJob I want due to my degree

And in your 30s you'll ruminate and be depressed because you wasted your best part of your 20s and 30s whining and moaning instead of getting help.
And in your 50s you'll pine about and be upset because you wasted your best part of your 30s and 40s ruminating and being depressed instead of getting help.
And in your 70s you'll wail and be forlorn because you wasted your best part of your 50s and 60s pining and being upset.
At some point your posts don't belong here because it isn't something that's bullsh*t. Go start your own thread. And maybe think before posting, since we have actual PCFers and loved ones currently fighting their own battles with cancer.
My heart breaks for you man, I hope you find what you need.
Probably won't. Going to cancel my college degree by contacting their legal department. For most people degree should help, but in my case it's preventing from getting a job in a field other than the one relevant to my degree. Like a handcuff.
I see myself homeless in the streets, hospital, or imprisoned if I'm unable to leave my field. Yeah, I ain't gonna smile in front of anyone unless I genuinely enjoy the situation from my heart like chipping, fashion, or video games. Screw deceptive smiling
If anyone is going to take advantage of my situation by lowballing my $1s, I will just destroy my $1 chip one lowballed and throw it away. 99% of the people here won't I swear, but bad apples are everywhere.
Your degree is not preventing you from getting a job, please stop repeating that.
Please find a residential crisis center in your area. This is not giving up, this is admitting you need help. I know you use this place to vent but you do so with cries for help knowing we can't actually help you. We care, but we become numb when you repeat problems without solutions.
Don't do that. Just don't list your degree on job applications if you think that degree is hindering you.
FWIW, my bachelor's degree is in a field that I strongly disliked, and I haven't used it for 25 years. However, it opened the door to getting a graduate degree in my current field, and I would not be where I am today if I hadn't got it.
This this this.
You clearly need help that we cannot give you. Find someone in your area who can, and get that help now.
If you don't, things will only get worse.

I am trying my best and in the same hole, can't get out. Spending hundreds of hours being inefficient on resumes and applying. I really want to know what I need to work on to have a better future.
My family member is very angry at how I am not getting results, she won't listen to my situation.
Yes PCF and chipping community is the only place I feel love/empathy/kindness of human beings, so I vented out a lot. It also, helps me stay away from gambling because I am already happy about my hobby (this is a true statement without any exaggeration). I didn't know about fake friends until last year, so the ones I had from college were fake and I was spoiling them due to desperation for friends.
Never heard of the Residential Crisis Center. Will look it up, only called mental health support. They recommended to cancel my degree. Talking about college (2016-2021) makes me cry and I can't do that in front of interviewers. I see nightmares every day and have been treated for that.
McJobs don't want me and my friend helped me get a job at Target. The degree was a no to his manager.
Look one up right now, please, type that then your zip code. Handle the money later, just get your head right. Lots of people go through this especially at your age; we dont understand everything about how your mind is working right now, but these people see it everyday. This is over your head.
I will and won't show any form of ID or social. I will straight up tell that I ain't got anything.
Love it. I can conceal it and won't be a crime right? But 5 years is a long time to hide out.
If I get caught, I won't be in trouble, right? I am someone who always try to be on the rules, so don't want to lose job because "I lied" on job app.

Just list your relevant experience for the job you are applying for. Don’t list anything else, they aren’t asking for that.
Get the job first.
Then prove your worth.
Then talk about what a degree might do to help your place of employment.
None of this is overnight. None of this is overnight. None of this is overnight.
You have to have patience. Like 70-80 years worth. You seem to want to rush things and have everything in black and white. NOBODY gets that.
Everybody has to wait, and you have to really SEE what’s going on in life and what is important and what isn’t.
Maybe you are a hermit. They are severely misunderstood and almost extinct. Nobody goes and lives in a cave far from civilization anymore. It used to be pretty common, every town knew of one in their hills. Now they just go to California it looks like.
BTW our village is still looking for workers. We get a new mayor in November so lots of opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
IANAL, but I don't believe omitting this information could possibly be a crime except in very specific circumstances (like applying for a federal job that requires a security clearance).
Some people might consider this unethical, but I disagree. It's good practice to tailor a resume or job application to the position you're trying to get. You should never provide false information, of course, but leaving out a degree that is irrelevant to the job you're trying to get is fine.

A resume is where you list RELEVANT job skills and experience. Applying for a job not in your field? Dont list it. At best it makes you look like you are waiting for a better job to come along and you will jump ship in a few months. At worst it makes you look like a douche that thinks he is better than everyone.
I've had 26 different jobs in my life. I assure you, I never put all the jobs I've had on a resume - and I've had background checks run for a printing job, state police and fire.
I didn't get a degree. I couldn't afford to take the ACTs. It was $50 that neither I nor my mother had to spare. I hate listening to people with all that extra money complain about how hard life is.
Your life is what you make it. Right now you sound like the player at the tournament complaining about a bad beat, even though they have an above average chip stack.

What's bullshit are idiots in front of you on the highway that clean their windshield and their spray goes all over your car.

Is it worse if they're doing it on purpose or if they don't know that's what happens?
For sure worse if it's a clueless idiot. If it's on purpose there's already a situation going on so it's fair game

I’m still doing what I need to do. Just not enjoying it and nice to get a lower paying job than higher paying job that’ll end up in hospital. I don’t want to die because of Engineering stress. I attempted suicide a few times in college and never attempted afterwards. My doctor also told me to completely forget about it as long as I don’t get flashbacks.
I’ll be fine if I forget about ladies, alcohol, and leave Engineering. I don’t care about Engineering and something I hate talking off-duty. I hate hate when people ask how to repair stuff and treat me like a free tech support. I straight up tell them, how much do I get paid or ignore. $25/h is not even close to average, they get paid $60/h equivalent. Better to get a job outside. I HATE Engineering more than any politician and hating something is our freedom. Removing distraction is helping me a lot. Seems I have nice chips because I’ve been flipping stuff since I’m 11, including garbage hunting of what all the spoiled kids threw away including an iPhone that’s little old, brand new UGGs, Canadian coins, and etc. That’s the most fun thing I did in college, making thousands per year, helping me buy what I’d never able to afford.
I’ll just make college go to dark. It’ll just worsen my PTSD which I’m getting help for years. Yeah don’t listing it would work. It’s the ugliest part of my life and trying to move on. Nightmares are just awful.

I’m really trying to understand why this would bother anyone.
Is it disrespectful to your car, and then by extension, you?
Is it damaging your car finish?
Is it making it hard for you to see, thus causing a dangerous safety incident?
Do people ACTUALLY yell at clouds for raining on their cars?
What about the dust the passing cars in the other lane deposit on your car?
Insects on the windshield? - maybe you could sue the state for not controlling their insects.
God, what would happen if someone walking by sneezed on your car?

I wish I got paid as much as $25 an hour. But all I do is save lives. Sometimes, the lives people that think their life is so bad.
If you are as old as I think you are, you have access to far more money than I did at the same age. I won't swap PTSD stories, because I simply won't go there. I handled it, you can too. But your public sob stories are tiresome for those of us that had it bad.

Agreed. It’s getting a little old. “I wanted vanilla and all they have is chocolate”.
Let’s get real here. The human species as a whole doesn’t care about individuals. Not me, and not you. There’s plenty of gene diversity around without ours. So you have to care for yourself, because the species isn’t going to do it for you.
Nobody wants to hang with Negative Norman. If you can’t say something positive, just don’t say anything at all. And if that hurts, well, that’s just really your problem, not anyone else’s to solve.
Bruce said it best - “you have to learn to live with what you can’t rise above.”
And Richard Bach - “argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they are yours.”
