@Owl1 1.It will take time to get used to it, don't expect to get situated quickly
2.Learn from other people if you can, but there may be things you learn yourself
3.Just try and keep your nose clean, and (usually) your managers (hopefully) won't give you too much problems...
4. At the same time try your best not to volunteer for things, because they'll usually expect you to say yes each time
Hope this helps!

@EaglyPurahfan Perfect analysis!
...darn now I want to rewatch it... well played...

@blindsquarel Shouldn't be too bad then!

@TheBigBlue That is one of the best parts of the game lol!

That is quite a pickle. Fast food it is!

@Professor_Plumber
I’m weirdly exited for tomorrow. I know the work won’t be fun, but I’m still exited. Probably will wear off pretty quickly.

@blindsquarel No actually use that excitement, try and keep it for as long as you can! It's more useful to be excited than (in my case) nervousness...

@Professor_Plumber are you planning on seeing across the spider verse in Theaters

@blindsquarel are you saying I should grab a hearty burger breakfast?

Hopefully I enjoy it. Worst case scenario I eliminate construction from the career list.

@EaglyPurahfan

My 13 year old casually asked "Oh, I saw you were playing Fortnite earlier?" And started getting on me for not playing with him and saying I don't have it on my Switch.
Yeah, so he saw me build something and dive from the sky in TotK.
...maybe that's why the cool kids love it?

@Anti-Matter Reddit isn't closing, just a bulk of subreddits are going dark in protest of some rule changes.

RIP

Although that may be a good thing. Reddit sucks. ( I know it isn’t shutting down, but still)

@blindsquarel this will very much hurt the site even though it is only 48h.

@blindsquarel ok, hmm, pretty much all the Apple subreddits are going dark indefinitely, those are some of the biggest and most popular subs on the site.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko I really appreciate the entrepreneurship but consider going to the Uni first, landing a job without a degree could prove hard. I'm not claiming your experience will be the same as I got a good one as soon as I could, but I feel like you should take advantage of the fact that you will be able to get one - you don't ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO commit all your time and effort to work yet.

Eh, I'd argue college isn't as important as it used to be, everyone I talk to seems to regret what major they picked and wished they had time to pick...

First, let me add to the people who wanted to pick a different major.

Now that it's out of the way - I want to give some advice before giving advice. If anyone feels like I'm giving bad advice or that it doesn't transmit well to your situation - DO NOT follow it. I had my life thrown out of the loop big time because I followed an advice from a person who thought I wasn't good enough and said I wouldn't do well. It turned out I exceeded even my own expectations.

All in all - nobody knows your situation better than you so be careful when following anyone's advice. I found out that not following it and doing things your own way can be very beneficial on its own.

So, my advice is to get a degree, any degree you want, but maybe get it. I don't know about how much it's worth in US, so maybe try a European university. Time is your resource, and sometimes sacrificing 3 to 5 years can give you a salary boost that will give you returns in another 5 years.

If you want to join the workforce at 16 without getting a degree at 21 - 23, it seems very beneficial at first - you are 5 to 7 years ahead with salaries and experience. But what if a degree gives you a 2x paid job? You will get back on track with finances in another 5 years, and you will have a decent job and education to back you up.

The reason is simple, I have not encountered a single person without a degree in my work. Our degrees vary greatly, but we have them.

But as I said, your situation can be VERY different, so it you feel it doesn't apply to you, please disregard my ramblings. After all - and this is something not many people will tell you - everyone is eager to give advice, but you will be the one living with the consequences.
