Girls are only good to have kids with, anything else is fake, true love doesn't exist. Any girl who goes after the millionaire is untrustworthy. You need to homely type, that still has a nice pair of tits and would do anything for her kids. They are well within your reach with a liberal arts degree.

This. Grades alone aren't shit unless you're going to grad school. Just keep getting varied types of experience. Actually tons of shit you can do with an english degree, you just have to be flexible at first.

Hey, don't let silly things like the state stop you. I don't doubt, if you were determined enough, you could make it out there and slip under the radar of the authorities. You'll have to deal without many things you take for granted, like electricity and tapwater.

because of criminal/financial complications i haven't been able to pursue much formal education. i am taking classes in stage craft and would love to build fantastical sets for the theater (my major inspiration would be henry darger paintings and terry gilliam movies) i know it's a stretch, but anyone involved in the theater and could give me some hints?

posting in a troll thread

lawyers need a bachelors degree. so i opted for the easiest one and the one i'd have most fun getting, english lit.

people get mad at lawyers for plenty of reasons, and i suspect this misdirected "well *my* degree has more career opportunities and will ultimately pay more" mindset being reversed is one of those reasons

not a theater or film guy, but i have talked and listened to enough of them to know that you should make as many connections in the business as you can, and then some. Not just kinda sorta trying to make connections when the chance comes along, but actively, continuously, constantly doing it, and maintaining those connections so that you are a person they will think of when they need someone to design sets or whatever it is you want to do. Toil like a motherfucker, not just at improving your skill but just doing it a lot and doing it well so people trust YOU to work in THEIR plays.

Also, be willing to compromise and work with others, part of making and keeping connections is being decent to work with. People will want to work with a solid, practical guy more than they'd want to work with some whimsical guy who gives them all kinds of great stuff--that they can't use for whatever reason, and I do believe plays and films are a giant hassle and thus a vast number of things happen that result in sets needing to be changed.

that is really good advice. I know networking is everything and luckily i'm okay at that. I was just wondering how much schooling people look for in that field. I know for actors it is quite a lot but i don't know for the technical side
