Not who you are replying to, but I’ve found that PhDs struggle with employment because they are overqualified and lack field experience. I am mentoring a post doc right now and he’s unbelievably smart, but he can’t land a job for love or money. It’s a hard go out there right now if you’re specialized like he is.

He is a chemical engineer with 10 years post doc. Does water treatment, pit water modeling, deals with mine tailings, contaminated soils, etc. I would love to rent his brain if I could.

You’re not wrong with generalist degrees, but degrees where you are something at the end still need that base training.

You can’t just walk into an civil engineer’s firm and start building bridges.

Meh, I got my bachelor’s, worked, and then got my graduate degree, and still had to work my way up from nothing as well.

I see degrees as a way of improving your cap on the position you can hold.

2nd on the left isn’t sure she wants what’s for dinner

Lmao @ dungeon crawling

You are right, though. It’s not fair to any partner if you expect them to fulfill the hole in your emotional wellness. All you are doing is setting yourself up to be emotionally fragile and codependent on them.

If you’re like me, you won’t listen to the information above, but I promise you that I learned this the hard way.

Be careful out there, on your own and away from home. You don’t have your support network like you would at home (wherever that may be).

HHH was part of the group. just because it mentions Shawn, doesn’t mean he has to be in the photo, considering he led said group

it’s a pretty mild procedure. Nerve wracking, but the pain level overall is quite low. I was more stressed than anything.

This is so fucking good

I do that too. Millenials unite.

I love that this is the first comment as this clip lives rent free in my head

I’m with you, but I couldn’t find an uncensored version in the 3 seconds I spent looking.

Good. Good. Let the hate flow though you.

Only when we are sick of tolerating environmental damage will we roll up our collective sleeves and do something about it. In the meantime, I’ll wait for a corporation to make little nicotine patches for the squirrels and monetize it some how; further distracting me from the horrors of this plane of existence

Presumptious. The meme is clearly getting at the Prussian flag.

I would just like to point out, regardless of Violet’s identity, this kind of post, or more the discussion around it stinks of Reddit content. This is the type of stuff that made Reddit suck.

Sure she posts thirsty stuff, but that’s just a shitpost style. Upvote, downvote, or block and move on. If you suspect it’s bait don’t eat it.

We do, but then life gets in the way. This week we are dealing with an outbreak of hand foot and mouth, which our house has been flattened with every spring for the last 3 years.
