Well, you aren't French. I think. Exactement not exactemente (I think).
-
yup. but half of us are online at midnight so...
-
.... Norwegian? The job market everywhere is bad (just Canada is more educated in general, so it's hard for someone with no post-secondary), housing is starting to be built, crime is better around here than in America, taxes are higher, but the government helps (or at least tries to) more.
-
So I was right. Hell yea. My brain still works.
-
Yup, but it pays well, and I need time to mature and figure myself out. My father is a smart man, and this is what he's recommending. I'll spend about 5 years on the apprenticeship. It's good to have as a fallback career. Because it's nice here. There's quite a few good sides to Canada.
-
I assume everyone here is American unless otherwise stated lol. You also used the wording 'community college', which is an American term. A college did accept me, but I failed out. I was in a Vet Assistant program. I've decided I'm not ready for college/uni just yet.

The job market is horrible for people who don't have post-secondary in Canada. About 10% of Canadians have trades, about 25% have college and about 39% have university. That's 74% of the population with post-secondary training. Oh! I forgot terminology is different in America. University is where you get a bachelor's, a master's, or a PhD. College is where you get a certificate, a diploma, or a bachelor's.

A Red Seal Trade is a trade that can be done anywhere in Canada, regardless of province or territory. I guess my plan is to learn a trade, which should take about 5 years. I get income during that. I'd also be taking high School upgrading courses. I'd then apply to uni, get a bachelor's in physics and get a master's in astrophysics. I'd be about 30 when I finish that. The Canadian Space Agency should have expanded enough by that time that I can work for them. If not, I'm sure the Canadian Armed Forces (probably the Royal Canadian Air Force) and/or the Department of National Defence would find an astrophysics major quite useful. If not, there's a lot of research being done in my hometown. Yup. Very sure. My grades are too low.

I did NOT do well in school. I had the potential to get the Governor General's Academic Medal (do the best in my high school), but I wasted my potential and wasted my time. how what?
-
My father is making a very good argument for a Red Seal Trade how what?
-
HA. no. I have no job currently and I'm in a city where I have little support My father is currently trying to convince me to go into a skilled trade, even though I don't really want to. He probably has the best idea because he knows me well and has travelled much of the same path. He dropped out of school, joined the military, became an electrician and an architectural draughter, went back to school, got a Bachelor's in Engineering technology, and then a Master's in Building Science, and became a science and tech teacher. I eventually want to get a Master's in Astrophysics. I've mostly given up on university for now. I need to raise my high school grades, and I need a job.

I've been out since September 1, 2025
-
(alleviate) Depends on what you do next. I went to college and failed out.
-
I had a difficult teenage life, mostly because of the choices I made. I was loved, but I behaved poorly much of the time. I regret it, but not much I can do anymore. I burnt multiple bridges, and I can't move back in with them because I don't mesh well with the family. I also think way too much about the future. That adds a lot to my stress levels.
-
I've never figured out how to alleviate the stress safely. It's always been a problem, and it usually leads to a mental breakdown at peak stress. That's basically the only way the 'pressure' gets released. I'm close with my family but they can't really help me with this. I've also just lived a very stressful life after leaving home
-
I'm too stressed. I am probably so stressed that it's unhealthy.
-
I'd say use bandages on them just for a couple days. I think I'm mostly fine. Mostly. I get depressed sometimes, but I'm busier worrying about my direction in life. I'm more or less too worried to be depressed. I don't have the time to mope anymore. Good. Have you had water today? If not, go drink some water.
-
You should be fine then. The sensation of feeling 'off' and sore is probably from irritation and the skin starting to heal. Just keep the area clean and change the bandages if they get wet or dirty. *hugs*
-
How warm is the skin around the cuts? I'm a tad worried on the medical side.
-
I would recommend this music-wise if you want fanmade music :3 After you finish Mistborn Era 1, what do you think you'll read next?

Technically, the mechanical idea of springlocking can happen in real life. For example, modern garage doors use large torsion springs under extreme tension; if those snap, fragments go EVERYWHERE. Automotive clutch and brake spring assemblies use multiple high-tension springs. If released, parts can launch outward with force, and technicians can suffer hand and facial injuries. You can get the rest. oooo. Page 3131

Herr Federflugüberwachungsbehördenleiter von Hochdachfenstersims is pleased and makes you a Spinner Ferring.
