I’m a good looking guy but I’m insecure about my teeth which I neglected during a dark depression when I was younger. Need to get them knocked out in a fight or get syphillis , so I get the push to get them fixed

I'm still unsure what do with work and school. I have 2 years of university left and the inequity and unfairness of the world really disturb me. I want to do something with business as it seems the best way to assure my own wellbeing (at least physically, socially and financially) but i also think the profession is a fucking joke and money is just a stupid concept in general so I want to have another skill to pair with business. both because it will give me an advantage over the regular business drones but also because i have zero faith in banks and fiat currency so incase shit really hits the fan i still want to have a tangible real world skill but going to like medical school is just way too fucking long expensive. maybe i should just do double major like finance with engineering and do another extra year at school. i'm blessed that i have parents who can afford it, but i abhor asking for money and favors and feeling like im in debt to someone or something.

If you want to check his poetry Keeper of Sheep is an excellent short book. His best work imo is Book of Disquiet which is in prose. You could read Tabaqueria (a poem) to get a taste of it.

Just be only an engineer. Get money and skill. Normal amount of schooling to. Or if you want to do medical shit just be a nurse. Real skill, no extra schooling(just the normal 4 years) and I don’t think the world will ever have to many nurses.

Or best when trying to have a real world skill while not caring for money and not wanting to be financial debt on your parents would go to trade school. Only 2 years of cheap schooling for a real life skill that’ll probably be used a lot even outside of work. Electron, welder, and the such
