You have to play it smart getting into law or else you'll end up a sub-six figure schmuck like OP, but I'm still only in law school so take my commentary with a grain of salt. The Khan Academy prep is decent for the LSAT and helps you schedule practices.

It's honestly a god tier conversation starter though. Telling 'war stories' about dumbass clients arguing over petty things and stupid criminals gets people wide eyed and eagier to hear more juicy details. You can even use a few artistic liberties to make them even more kino, and its not even wrong since you aren't supposed to tell outsiders about the matters you work on.

Corporate law may have more prestige and money, but it's soulless and often really boring, unfulfilling work. The main saving grace is that it is more intellectually challenging, but that can only get you so far if you don't genuinely enjoy the work. I would still recommend any law student to aim to at least get some corporate experience over a summer.

And besides - the money isn't *that* much different until you get to partner tier levels - and doing so at a top tier corporate firm is really fucking hard, takes a long time, and requires an ungodly amount of work. Better option is to make partner at a smaller form or start your own practice after 5-10 years.

As someone in the medical field, I can say for sure that in most countries it is definitely NOT as /lit/ of a lifestyle as it might have used to be. I know it's very alluring to think that a psychiatrist will live the life of Freud, psychoanalysing away, but the truth is that most of psychiatry now is based off of old dogma that's dug itself into the minds of the old guard. As long as the mind/body dualism isn't gotten rid of, psychiatry will be nothing more than a medicine dispensing field.

If you want something truly /lit/, either go into psychology or do something non-medical. The other medical jobs are even less of a /lit/ lifestyle than psych I can tell you that.

I don't know about that... in my field (archaeology/classics) the reputation of the school still helps in job searches, you get access better funding; so more travel opportunities to conferences for networking, more time in Europe (at the academies in Rome or Athens, digs or programs to learn languages), better libraries and auxiliary collections like papyri and coins, are more rigorous, I think, then other schools, and the teachers are more prestigious for letters of references.

Landscaping is a very underrated job. It's pretty difficult physically, but if you are a moderately fit man you will be fine. If you are not fit it will make you fit. Pays well, work hard for the duration of your shift, no bullshit small talk/unnecessary waiting around. Feel fulfilled that you were physically active and did your job well. Get to come home and still entertain your hobbies, sit and read or draw until it's time to sleep. Secretly comfy.

Sounds nice.
Also, threadly remember that Edgar Poe, one of the most influent writers and aesthetic thinkers of the 19th century, considered landscaping to be the ultimate form of art, the one closest to God's own craft.

Well, I have a detached view of the events that befall people. Every so often I meet individuals that have empathy even for total stranger's tragedies, which always interesting.

One time I mentioned the unabomber and a girl asked me who that was and I was like: oh just some guy who mailed bombs to people. She'd never heard of him and asked me why someone would do that with genuine disgust in her voice and face.

I have that, but sometimes I just finds events funny, even when they happen to my family or to myself (but perhaps that's because nothing too tragic has happened to my family). It's a very dual feeling.

No, I'm an officer.

Whether enlisting is worth it depends a lot on your personal situation and what you want long term, whereas I would and do recommend the officer route for anyone who's qualified and has even the slightest interest. You should at least look into your options.

A NEET that revels in vileness and filth like that physiogynomic gremlin has become not enlightened but blinded. Sus lota in volutabro luti. Wasting your entire existence, one with such an abundance of free time on what petty trifles? Filth, garbage, and destroying yourself. All for what? Poisonous passing pleasures that are here one moment and gone the next. The rest of that time when separated from them, you lead a life of disquietude and misery, which is what drove you to drown out your life with an unceasing torrent of distractions feeding vices like lust. Rather than rise above any of this, it is as though you actually hate being a NEET and instead are driven to such a pit of despair that he needs some sort of external affirmation that he is "awesome". On the contrary, such NEETs are not awesome but abominable; they do not separate themselves from the world but surrender to it; they are like children given a tool or a gun (i.e. NEETdom) which they cannot handle or know how to operate and ultimately misuse it in such a way that leads to their own utter and total destruction.

Unemployed. Accounting and finance graduate. Have been unemployed for 4 months.

I don't want to work. All I want to do is study. Working kills me. It's so fucking pointless. All the jobs and internships I have had have been pointless. they add nothing to humanity. I f someone paid me minimum wage to to spin in a circle for 6 hours that would count as employed and productive as it adds to gdp and employment statitistics.

I am a student, and I currently work as a cleaner in a butcher's shop. I have also recently got another job, at the same large retailer I quit working for 9 months ago.
I am in the empty space/nothingness between high school and university, anticipating mediocre marks, and I have no such notion of what lies beyond my BA - at an average university, of course.
