Yeah I’m reading at least 5 hours a day right now.
I want to study something that will allow me to refine my skills and knowledge prior to law school, but those degrees don’t generally have a wide enough job market if I fail at law school.
I was asking if you’d studied anything afterwards.
Because when you say you quit, that usually means you switched to something else.
No, I quit. Why would I waste any more of my time?
You didn’t switch to a different major?
Also, a whole lot of good-paying jobs don't really ask you to have good studies.
Being overqualified is a big thing, companies know that highly-qualified morons want big salaries.
I want a fair salary that matches the work I do.
Law school is hard, if I fail, then an English major won’t get me far.
I’ll probably try business as a minor and computer science as a major.
Those open up some good options
Do a trade
Like electrician or plumber
Welder, mechanic
They're pretty easy and you can earn good money
☝️ True! As long as you are not lazy. If you're hard working you will have VIRTUALLY NO COMPETITION WITH YOUR PEERS 🤦
This image is perfectly accurate.
@druiz Gay people are awfully discriminated against. When a straight guy talks about how he wished he got with a hot teacher in high school it's all cool, but when I talk about how I wish the hot high school priest abused his priestly trust with me suddenly it's weird. Terrible!
There's this one TV show in Spain about a secret service that "solves" problems whenever a timeline might get distorted and it leaves some great imagery.
lol
The episodes tend to work like this:
· Timeline is about to get distorted OR rival secret service is actually trying to fuck up history
· They go to the place/time
· Shit goes down
· They go back to modern times, sometimes bringing back "clones" of famous people
The protagonists are 16th century Flanders soldier, 19th century scholar girl and 21st century paramedic.
Some of the shit where they've intervened:
· 1588, writer Lope de Veza is about to board the wrong ship.
· Himmler is about to find a time-traveling portal.
· A hack fraud businessman has somehow travelled back to 1520 to escape from the people he scammed.
· El Quijote might not ever be published after a deal with the publisher goes bad.
· The war of 1808 (🇪🇸 vs 🇫🇷) has had 2 episodes: one about an eventual guerrilla captain and one about the greatgrandfather of the 1st post-Franco president Adolfo Suárez.
· Velázquez, who is now in the future, notices that a painting that had burned in 1734 is being auctioned for an insane amount of money.
· Felipe II gets mad after the Spanish Armada is defeated by the Brits and tries to change A LOT of history.
· The Soviet Union actually captures Hitchcock when he visits the 1958 San Sebastián International Film Festival.
· META STUFF - In 1966, some cheesy TV show follows the structure of the secret time-travelling service. I've never seen a TV show with a meta self-parodying episode as its season finale.
I once read that other countries were considering recreating the show for their own audiences.
Italy, France and the UK could probably have some amazing versions if they tried.
