  • I have two friends who recently graduated with electrical engineering degrees, and they can’t find work where they live. If you’re able to apply across the country and move, that may give you better results, but they are both now looking for jobs outside of their degree focus. One is actually doing IT for the university he earned his EE BS from, but there’s no opportunity for growth there because it’s an incredibly tiny school and community.

    It’s been over a decade since I worked in tech, but experience was king. I’m earning a degree in biology now, because by the time I left Microsoft I knew how easy it would be to automate my job
















  • My mom made that once, and was forbidden from ever doing so again! It was usually Mac and cheese with hotdogs or meatloaf in my house. And, no vegetables which is weird because my mom was a vegetarian

    I have sometimes (often, who’s kidding?) made vegan Mac N cheese with those fabulous lightlife hotdogs as an adult, totally followed in my mom’s footsteps xD. But I generally like to have bell pepper, onion, and swisschard/mustard greens mixed in because I’m not actually my mom





  • Edit: one of the answers below made me realize there may differences across generations and localities. I’m an elder millenial, and I’m in the US.

    It depends on where you are, if you’re in a loud bar or a club it’s more common to use the buddy system when going to the bathroom. Sometimes someone will ask you to go with them if they are stressed or annoyed at something and want to talk about it, but that’s rare in my experience.

    Take a lipstick or something and “touch up” your makeup. That way you’re waiting for them without seeming like you’re waiting. But yes, generally you wait until your friend is ready to return. If it’s a crowded restroom it’s okay to wait outside, it’s up to you if you want to tell your friend that you’ll just be outside the door

    It’s okay to say “oh, I’ll go with you” if you also need to use the restroom and it’s not a loud and energetic venue. Sometimes ya just gotta go and don’t realize until someone else is getting up lol
