Reply to LPT Your body is on autopilot a lot more than you realize. Everyone's autopilot is an idiot. Life's easier and you screw up less when you realize this, and think intentionally and take actions accordingly so the autopilot can't screw things up. by 12jonboy12
Get cancer, have your parasympathetic nervous system be damaged
Have to take executive function of every task
Makes you really good at picking up new physical skills
Learn firedancing, poledancing, knife throwing, lockpicking

Reply to LPT: Do not fall for the whole pursue "working for your dream company" idea. You will be so much better off if you have a wonderful, respectful, considerate boss at some normal business who actually values and respects you/your work, and allows you to become successful and proficient in your field. by Dismal_Body_2731
Damn, I just don't know what to do
I've got an internship with a great company and I'm already doing the exact thing I am getting my degree for (working with microgrids and renewables). I've been treated with nothing but respect and understanding despite being the goddamn intern. They pay me well, but for dull timers the pay is average or a bit below. But our health insurance is better than the hospital's, plus vision and dental
However, I don't like the area. It's a super small, college town. I'm 26, almost 27, so I'm hitting an awkward demographic. Too old for the college kids, too young for the rest of the community, which is very family oriented. Great town to raise a family in, but I'm single and don't know if I want kids. My team also works long hours, not something I'm into either as a disabled person.
So yeah, I don't know if I want to stay on. Pros are doing the exact type of work I am getting my degree for, really good team and manager, great benefits, peaceful area. Cons are the lower pay, very small town with nothing to do and hard to meet people my age (so harder to find a spouse), and long hours
