Okay so maybe these are really ~~obviously and~~ dumb questions, but how do people pick majors? How do you decide what you want to do with the rest of your life? And how do you do that here? With all the inpredictability, how do you figure that out in Vallo? How do you plan for that?

Kind of related, is anyone hiring? I think maybe a gap summer or something might help. ~~Or it won't. Maybe I'm just destined to be~~ Maybe. ~~Why does no one tell you being an adult is so hard? Or am I just really bad at everything? Can't con~~ Can't hurt, right?

	I don’t know about figuring it out in Vallo, but I’ve known what I want to do for a while. Do you have something you’re passionate about? Something you’re really good at? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Is self-sabotage an Olympic sport?

I like clothes and fashion, but I don’t know if it’s enough to make a career of it. Maybe as an influencer, but I probably need more marketing skills than I have. I actually do like helping people, but that’s incredibly vague. I’m very organized, and I did some assistant work, but it was PR, and I’m not sure if that’s really needed here. Do the residents of Vallo need a pr manager? A social media expert? And then there’s the magic, which could lend itself to a career. Just not sure what, if I did want to incorporate it.

What did you want to do at home?

	There might be someone who could really use an assistant of some kind, or something in PR. It’s just a place to start, right? Nothing has to be forever. I wanted to get into the FBI. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I don’t even know if~~ ~~it’s like everyone else~~ Yeah. Guess there’s always the want ads. And the internet go figuring out how to make a thin resume look good. That’s ambitious. Why the FBI specifically? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose you have to decide what makes you feel the most useful. Or what is most fulfilling. After a while you can get into a rhythm that just sort of comes back after every time the world momentarily falls apart. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	~~But what if nothing makes me feel useful?~~ Sounds like you're speaking from experience. What's that for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	it is certainly difficult to choose what course of study you wish to follow. I spent a long time narrowing it down. Of course one can always change one's mind later and study different things, but there is always the worry one might be sent home before one can learn everything there is that is useful to know....

	Also knowing what's actually useful is hard to know, too. That's something that's got to be figured out. What'd you narrow it down to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
