Advice neededEngineering career help? Been out of the field too long?
Posted July 7, 2022 by ghoul2 in STEM

Hi, I have an engineering degree, I graduated before covid and now I have been working in a different field in the meantime.

I would like to get back into engineering but I feel my degree is nearly worthless by now since I haven't used it, it's an oddly specific field, where the stuff I studied pretty much only applies to a small number of employees. If I'd studied something more general like mechanical engineering or civil engineering it would be way easier to apply myself.

I've even considered going back to school. But I don't even know where to begin, i feel so far out of it.

Everytime I start looking for better jobs I just feel a bunch of disdain for myself, for studying something less general in the first place, and also for waiting this long to look for a "good job". I don't have any relevant experience and I don't have any of the qualifications anybody wants, even though I know I am smart enough to do the jobs. I just can't compete with new grads because I'm rusty af now.

Advice appreciated. And thank you for reading.

Girl is when makeup

Yup that's literally the only difference. So what they're really doing is telling a happy dude he's not a dude he's a lady because his face is more feminine featured than most men

Shit guys, I'm a man. I'll just delete my account, now...

Oh wait, politely excusing myself from a space where I'm not welcome is not very manly. Now I'm confused. Someone please tell me what my gender is, I don't know how to act or what clothes to wear!

"it's not a cult"

"Nobody becomes trans because of the internet" or whatever

They're so insecure they need everyone to be and think exactly like them.

Christ, they are all so creepy with comments like this.

FeministunderyrbedOctober 12, 2024

Especially because a lot of the commenters are most likely a lot older than OP.

It's seriously so disturbing and disgusting. I actually felt my skin crawling with some of them.

I’ll never understand why TIMs are so eager to “crack eggs”. Misery loves company, I guess.

The filter also gave him plastic surgery on his nose and a brow lift.

And a shaved chin along with other subtler details.

I can’t even tell, are they two separate pictures or did the filter add the open mouth because women MUST have the glazed over eyes and receiving mouth. No wonder the transgender population came marching, it’s their whole philosophy about womanhood right?

JernsaxaOctober 12, 2024

Had the same thought, but the angle seems slightly different in the second picture.

So…woman is when eyeliner and lip filler. Got it.

TIMs go five minutes without being groomers challenge failed again, I see.

LavenderLoverOctober 12, 2024

So glad someone posted these. Kinda hard for them to beat the groomer allegations when they post comments like these under videos of young men and boys who look vaguely GNC...

the goal is trans ideology is to prey on teenagers and vulnerable people and make them hate theirselves for the body that they have. It is a result within patriarchy as well. They paint transitioning as if you’re becoming a new person, as this is why people rush into it without any thought. If you’re lucky enough, you can see though all of the bullshit lies and tactics that especially the public serves on a plate. I hate having to hide how I really feel about them to save my future from getting ruined (despite feeling empathy for those who have been manipulated, especially young children to teenagers) because even some of the people around me that are sworn friends don’t even understand its fatal flaws

I am out to my friends about my views, but I have to keep my disgust, fury, and head-smacking disbelief at the stupidity of gender ideology in check.

ThegoldeststarsOctober 12, 2024

They see themselves as a girl with a filter, get a boner and decide they want to be a woman and get a boner all the time. Think I figured it out

TrappedInACarOctober 12, 2024

They’re so obsessed with “cracking eggs.” But it’s not a cult, oh no, couldn’t possibly be.

I thought this was just a man with a TikTok makeup filter on (some of those filters seem to be quite advanced now). Is it a man with a makeup filter who is pretending to be a woman? He literally just looks clownish 🤣

Edit: Sorry, didn't read the full title and post, so it is just a dude playing with filters and TiMs came in saying they're beautiful women like the filter of makeup on a man... Bro what 🤣
