Start thinking about career possibilities during High School. Research what careers you might want to pursue. I did not do this, and am doing it now after college. While in college: join groups, make connections, make a Linkedin, do a co-rec sport like flag football, don't waste time alone in your dorm like I did. And definitely get an internship. Guess that's it based on my experience.

Also don't say no to a job. I did this twice because I thought they were things that were below me, and I ended up doing nothing in the meantime. Lesson learned for me -every job is important and serves a function. What I've learned about myself is that I've spent too much time in the digital world, and I'm slowly trying to fix things.

Gaming / Re: More Halo 5 gameplay

I think it looks fun, but I am more concerned about campaign than anything else. Also wondering if MC will be able to do all of these moves, or if it is multiplayer-only.

The Flood / Re: Pierce Brosnan was the penultimate Bond
« on: November 13, 2014, 03:11:45 PM »
He is the Bond I am most familiar with. Growing up in the 90's the first Bond film I saw was Goldeneye, then Tomorrow Never Dies, and the World is not Enough. My friends and I also adored playing 007 Nightfire. Die Another Day also has a lot of nostalgia value for me. He looks like more of what James Bond would to me when compared to Daniel Craig. Again, probably because he is the first I saw.

Serious / I'm starting to lose it
« on: November 05, 2014, 12:13:26 PM »
Yes, after taking a drive to Dunkin Donuts and Nardelli's and talking to myself along the way about how meaningless life is. (This is how pathetic I am, I have to drive to places a few times a week to get food just to do something with my life. All I can think about while I'm driving is how much of a relief it would be to get destroyed by an 18 wheeler) Other people are working even those jobs and contributing to society while I have done nothing. I have three months of work experience and I am 22 years old. Video games consumed me since I was ten years old. Can't find a job? Just play to feel better. Rejected? Play. No social life or friends? Play. It's getting to the point where I want an accident or something horrible to happen to me because I don't have a purpose in life. Yes, I got my stupid degree but that doesn't mean shit.

I don't even know what to think anymore other than dying would be a relief so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. Unattractive, abandoned by "friends" because they know you're no fun to be around, never satisfied with your appearance, having to fake smiling and being polite and courteous to other people. No one or anyone matters. If you die, the world will continue. You only see the world through your own eyes. I went through college just because my parents wanted me to it. Video games ruled my life to the point where they were purpose of living: "If I kill myself then I won't be able to play this game." That's seriously how I used to think. And now it seems like everything's crumbling around me. I don't want to do anything, that's the point. Yes, I've been trying to get a job for six months, but it's meaningless when you don't know what you want to do. I am un-hire-able. They just need to take a look at my resume to see I haven't done jack shit in my life. I like to be realistic, and the truth is I don't matter when there is 7.5 billion people alive. I wish I was never born in the first place. Well that's it. Reality hit me and I can't deal with it.

I can't get any as much as I want to. When you want to kill yourself because you don't have a job you shouldn't be playing video games. But I already downloaded the MCC.

Once you've been out of work for six months, there's little you can do to find work.
In other words, an hero it. Got it.


I'd hate to say it, but I am considering it. Or at least hoping I get into some accident and die so I don't have to worry about these things.

When you don't have a lot of paid work experience, it's hard to put a resume together.

What you need to do is draw on the work, volunteering, or educational experience that is the most relevant to the job you are applying for, and highlight the soft, transferrable skills that you have, in addition to the technical skills the job requires.

You may not be able to meet all the technical qualifications for the job, but if you can zero in on those soft skills and express that you are a well rounded and motivated individual, you may get a shot.

You can spin the voting thing by highlighting the community service element, which could be useful if you decide to stick to teaching. You can also highlight technical skills with the Excel seminar and using the smartphone app.

I wouldn't write off the substitute teacher thing if I were you. There are DOZENS of very useful soft skills you can pick up and emphasize from it. Dealing with different groups of people, organizing and presenting a study plan, communicating with the main teacher as a team (TEAMWORK EXPERIENCE IS A HUGE RESUME PLUS!), etc.
I don't really want to substitute though...I don't want to be around kids, I want to be around people my own age so I can have a social life with fellow co-workers and maybe ask out that hot woman at the office. Being a sub seems awful. I already was made fun of once in high school, the last thing I need is to go back and go through it again with disrespectful kids. Every time there is a sub it's pretty much code word for do whatever you want. And I'm not a person that is good at dealing out discipline.

I want to hear opinions and input on this. Is it worth subbing for $75 a day and getting disrespected by teenagers? We all know that having a sub basically means they can do whatever they want. I feel like it will put me in an awkward position.

The Flood / Re: Does anyone here just feel worthless?
« on: November 01, 2014, 02:36:35 PM »
Yep. No ambition to do anything for a career. And I'm done with college and don't know what to do. All I want to do is play video games and they've consumed me since I was 11. So I'm very close to losing it. It would be better if I wasn't born in the first place because of how indecisive I am. Life doesn't feel like anything to me anymore.
Why don't you try to take a break from video games and focus on your career? I find with myself I can start gaming as a stress reliever and get caught up in it and have no ambitions until I take a break from it.

As for the OP, my advice would be to get in the mind set that everything you do matters. Even if you are in a dead end job, you are still contributing to society, and if you want more then find out how to and try to do it.
It's not as easy as people think to just start out. Trust me, I have been applying for decent entry level things since May. I do not want to settle for minimum wage in the mean time or something that is demeaning. And still, there's isn't one thing I want to do. I just look for anything that interests me that requires a liberal arts degree, but so far no luck.

Got yelled at by my dad because I said I didn't want to do it. I just don't want to be around kids, I want co-workers my own age.Substituting just has the connotation that you couldn't find anything else, it's not a career. I just don't know what to do anymore. I literally cannot decide what to do with my life -so much that I'm starting to wish I didn't exist in the first place so I wouldn't have to worry about it. If I don't find a job within in a year...that's it, my life is pretty much over and I might as well kill myself.
Maybe you could be a professor at UConn? That way you don't have to deal with kids.

That would be awesome if I was in your class. I'd completely blackmail the shit out of you for straight As.
>years to get master
>then even more years to get a PhD
Too much schooling. I want to get into the workforce to gain more experience. And I'm not exactly the academic type. I finished with a 2.966 in Liberal Arts. That is just absolute shit. Literally I cannot decide on a single occupation that I would want to do, and now it is really starting to affect me. Definitely not thinking good thoughts tonight.
A 3.0 can't be too bad though. I mean isn't that just straight Bs? Bs aren't that bad.
I guess...I barely just missed the 3.0. If I could re-do college I could. I didn't network and I didn't get an internship, and all because I wanted as much time to play video games as possible. And it's hurting me now.

 Didn't make any connections, didn't have any fun or go crazy...and I still can;t get over video games, I just want to play the MCC and that's the only thing on my mind, I can't get over it. It's an addiction. I feel like I have to be the best player I can be and get hyper competitive and get as many achievements as possible to be better than others to feel like I'm actually doing something, but it's a fake sense of accomplishment. So much of my life has been wasted playing games. Living with my parents with no social life...and all my friends have forgotten me, or wouldn't want to associate with someone as lazy as me. They all have jobs and girlfriends they frack. I'm the one who's left behind and not where they're supposed to be. It feels like I can never grow up. This doesn't feel like living at all. I put off things for video games in the past, and still do.
