I WOULD suggest you do AmeriCorps... but it's very diverse. Even the mostly-white states's programs (maine, vermont) are not-metaphorically gay.

2018-10-08 23:10:52 UTC  

I don't know if you could hide your power level. Also you don't make much money in AmeriCorps.

2018-10-08 23:11:07 UTC  

That's gonna be a yikes from me chief.

2018-10-08 23:11:21 UTC  

Don't blame you. I did my AmeriCorps years before being redpilled.

2018-10-08 23:11:25 UTC  

I couldn't handle it now.

2018-10-08 23:11:49 UTC  

I've got to wake up in the morning and be able to send the "Good morning kings, lets get this bread" tweet.

2018-10-08 23:11:57 UTC  

I can't do that unless I am getting that bread

2018-10-08 23:13:03 UTC  

How much does it make?

2018-10-08 23:13:18 UTC  

You said 20k a season but how long is a season?

2018-10-08 23:15:06 UTC  

20k for 3.5 months if there's a burdensome amount of over time and hazard pay.

2018-10-08 23:15:43 UTC  

With less experience you'll make less per hour. I can't tell you if the physical pain and "hurry up and wait" chaos/monotony is worth it.

2018-10-08 23:15:59 UTC  

And, of course, small, but non-zero chance of injury or death.

2018-10-08 23:16:13 UTC  

It's probably less deadly than driving a semi truck though.

2018-10-08 23:16:39 UTC  

Honestly 20k a month doesn't sound that bad

2018-10-08 23:16:48 UTC  

Oh no, I meant per summer

2018-10-08 23:16:50 UTC  

Yeah my bad

2018-10-08 23:17:00 UTC  

Do I need to go to school for it?

2018-10-08 23:17:51 UTC  

Like a college or something where I have to listen to why I should let black transvestites breastfeed my son and pay them an arm and a leg for it?

2018-10-08 23:18:38 UTC  

No, I know people who have gotten on engine and hand crews without college degrees.

2018-10-08 23:19:15 UTC  

You might need to attend a fire school, which is a skills focused thing (with physical test), depending on what org you're applying to.

2018-10-08 23:19:28 UTC  

Sometimes the agency provides it, sometimes it outsources it.

2018-10-08 23:21:55 UTC  

Would I have to pay for that, and if so how much?

2018-10-08 23:24:55 UTC  

I hate to say "it depends."

2018-10-08 23:25:15 UTC  

Look for "wildland fire red card certifications"

2018-10-08 23:34:39 UTC  

I am getting a ton of like private companies on google too

2018-10-08 23:37:24 UTC  

It's directing me to the usajobs.com website so I think I will check that tomorrow and see if that sheds anymore light on the situation.

2018-10-08 23:37:27 UTC  

Yeah, don't fork over much money.

2018-10-08 23:37:34 UTC  

Oh cool

2018-10-08 23:37:39 UTC  

It is reddit-tier, but it might have some info

2018-10-08 23:37:40 UTC  

Minimal soy

2018-10-08 23:42:49 UTC  

Yeah it's got a really good thread

2018-10-08 23:43:04 UTC  

Dude is a year younger than me but the same story.

2018-10-08 23:44:03 UTC  

I'll look into the air force too.

2018-10-08 23:44:22 UTC  

It'll make my parents happy but not my gf, it really do be like that sometimes.

2018-10-08 23:49:43 UTC  

Only you can know what is best for you. Good luck!

2018-10-08 23:49:54 UTC  

Yeah thanks man!

Hey everyone. I just want to start by sharing something that has done more for my mental health than anything else I've done. It's called vipassana meditation, and it's the technique Buddha taught. Everyone is a bundle of knots, and this technique eventually unties all those knots. www.dhamma.org is the website for finding courses, which are offered at a dozen centers in the US. The organization is financed completely by the donations of previous students. If you have the time, and you don't have severe unresolved trauma, I can't recommend it highly enough.

2018-10-09 05:27:14 UTC  

No rituals or blind acceptance involved. It's very rational, and you will be able to see for yourself how your mind and body influence each other and how you create your own suffering.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Just got a meeting set up with my recruiter

2018-10-09 21:26:00 UTC
