I just started this job five months ago. Thought I would be able to stick it out since I wasn’t finding anything else.. but it’s not good. 30k a year after tax, no benefits or PTO. My car died - so I’ve been using a friends extra - but I can’t much longer since she’s moving come the new year. I haven’t been able to save much since this just doesn’t give me enough to buy food, gas, rent, etc...

How do I move? Been trying for a second job but I’m not sure if I’ll get it(interviewed yesterday)

I have a BA in HR. Current job is admin assistant at a non profit.

I want a career that is lucrative, opportunity for growth, safe from automation, with an emphasis on helping others and making lives better. Time in school is not really an issue for me, as I like school and see student debt as an investment in myself and future and if I can find a career that pays well, while giving me what I want, then I do not see an issue.

I am currently working for a non profit, and while I love the work and enjoy what I do, there is not much money here. I have a BA in HR and am planning on taking some psych classes as well to up my GPA to possibly do grad school, if its needed.

I have thought a lot about Neuropsychology, Clinical Psychology, LPC, MCSW, neurology.

I applied for my dream job and am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. How do I handle the rejection? Is there a way that I might be able to change their mind or something? I want this position more than anything and I am so worried that I won’t get it.

I worked throughout my time in college. Went back after three years. Majored in HR. Have a ton of experience.... how bad is it?

Plan: compliance officer

Currently: working in internal audit. Have 9 years IA experience. 2 in general management.

Got AS in accounting in 2017. Graduating with BA in HR in two days. Work experience has been accumulated before BA.

Plan on getting CFE cert in August.

Any advice on how to clean this up/make me look more marketable for a career in Compliance? Should I get my MBA?

Regardless of if you like her or not.. Candace Owens has been posting a lot about motherhood and it’s importance. And something struck me today. She says “you are the CEO of your home”. And I don’t know why, but I just... started to cry. That is what I’m missing. That is what I want. I felt very.. seen. And heard. And validated.

Working with a nutritionist. He says to try metformin. I am petrified - honestly. I was on bc before my diagnosis and it made everything worse - that was about six years ago now. Been trying to stay away from drugs because I am so scared that it will get worse... but I want to lose weight and have a normal cycle and I’ve heard it helps.

I’m fat. My sister and my mom bought me clothes for Christmas and I feel horrible about my body in them. I don’t feel sexy or confident - I feel even more fat and boated and like a balloon... my mom says I need to have more ‘color’ and my sister told me that I should have some going out clothes but I don’t like them. I feel awful. And now I’m crying and reminded of how much weight I’ve gained and how flabby and terrible I look...

I’ve noticed that when someone is emotionally intense I get overwhelmed and sometimes carry that intensity with me/allow it to turn into stress. I don’t want to do this because I don’t want to be so attracted to someone’s emotions - but I don’t know how to remove myself actively/in the moment. I’ve been told that I seem calm on the outside - so it seems people cannot tell that I’m having this reaction on the inside. I want to be as calm as I am on the outside, on the inside. I don’t usually absorb emotions like this. I am able to emphasize and then detach when I need to but I cannot seem to so with strong emotions (intense anger, sadness, etc).

DudeBro keeps irritating me. I met him five years ago and I’ve had him in and out of my life ever since. He has steamrolled my boundaries, pressured me into sex, been relentless with keeping me around(only to throw me away when a new girl comes into the picture). I had enough recently when he told me he was getting back with his ex, who I told him he shouldn’t be with but if he wanted to fuck up his life, go for it. I blocked him on everything. HE MADE NEW ACCOUNTS TO TRY AND TALK TO ME. I promptly told him to fuck off. Today he tried to add me on Snapchat with a new account. I’ve blocked him on everything - his number, on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat... and yet he still won’t leave me alon
