I picked up my degree/diploma yesterday. It feels good to be out of there.
@cee Still looking for a job.
@xianc78 @cee That's the hard part.
Unless you don't get along well with your parents, my advice is don't be in a hurry to leave. As long as your parents are ok with you hanging around a while longer (maybe work out a small rent), take the time to save up a bunch of money. It ain't like the old days when you could make enough for an ok pad on just any old job.

@icedquinn @cee @xianc78 My problem with the Military (and -- for the record, I was going to join the Army at one point, quite willingly, only a really good job offer came up just before) is that it really feels like the whole apparatus is about the elites fucking around in places they don't need to be. You aren't in control of your own destiny anymore, and your a pawn for someone else's.
People die and the elites laugh hysterically. I wouldn't want to be a part of that unless I knew I could game the system hard.

@cee @icedquinn @xianc78 Australia isn't nearly free enough a country for my tastes lol
We'll all meet up somewhere in the USA. Build a castle in a Florida swamp maybe.

o sweet jesus.
My parents at one point were trying to set me up for an Airforce position at a NATO base. I was in contact with the recruiter, and of course they said I was perfect for the position.
Glad I in the end turned them down.
My job atm is boring and nothing much, but at least I have my own place now and essentially living my own life.

*I know it's literally a Boomer video, but it's still pretty funny
**The recruiter on the phone literally gave me the schpeel of "diversity is our greatest strength" xD
Its sad when parents just stand in the way of their children's lives. You know, once you are on your own though, your folks will chill out.
