Computer Science Major
Already working as a programmer
On track for normal life
Feels like I dated a few girls, some of them for a short time, some of them for a long time. Some of them broke my heart, I broke some of their hearts. One of them I broke her heart and she broke my heart. Read the usual suspects(dead white guys). Wrote some stuff I've shared with people, some I haven't. Confused, enthusiastic, pessimistic, motivated, lazy, and fascinated.

Obviously I was very concerned about getting a job.

19, NEET. I'd be an adept /lit/ poster if my fuckinf working memory didn't have to suck so bad. I wish ADD on no one.

Please compile these responses into a chart of some sort. I am interested in the demographic composition of /lit/

>>3692522
declaring anonymity is one of the most pointless things I can think of

29, earning my Masters in English this year, considering a PhD but seems like it's got more pitfalls than payouts. May stick with secondary teaching.

31, and for anyone that has read Underworld, I am about to give any kid I meet up with a shotgun any day now.

LL.M, LL.D.

>>3693581
>LL.D.
How's that worked out for you?

>>3693597

Right now? Nil. The LL.M. is all I needed to get a decent job. Actually, I was silent about it in my CV when it was in progress. I mainly did it as a retirement plan. When I hit 45 or 50 I will teach and leave the private sector and all its stress behind. Hopefully.

Interested in one? I'd recommend to do the sacrifice. At least for me it has been intellectually stimulating.

“At the age of 25 most people were finished. A whole god-damned nation of assholes driving automobiles, eating, having babies, doing everything in the worst way possible, like voting for the presidential candidate who reminded them most of themselves.”

If I wanted to post some of my work here for critique, is there any chance of someone just stealing it?
I know it sounds really self-entitled, and I try not to come off that way, but I just wanted to ask before I just posted my shit.
