Graduation Update

[Ronald Zeeman]

@Ronald Zeeman I don't really see why a doctorate level degree would be necessary to be a technician.

Here you are underestimating you ability, In Canada a technician is a two year diploma, next is a technologist three year diploma, then undergraduate degree four years university and next graduate degree which you can go straight too if really gifted. Could be done in two years or less. Do not settle for less tan you are capable of. I did to a certain extent, It's not about prestige, rather what can you contribute.

Congratulations Faye! May good oppurtunities come your way from now on.

Congratulations. I still can't be taught can't do 3td grade math or reading comprehension. I even failed my basic computer Google docs test twice I couldn't take again.

So @Ronald Zeeman take your youngest son's learning disability and I just can't say the insult without getting in trouble. That's how much of a dumb retard I am. I can tell the BCS guy is up to here with my mental breakdowns.

@Tony Ramirez I don't know how to do the computer programming that you do. Different people have different talents.

I can't do computer programming. I just learned how to use Mac OS self taught.

My son's learning disability, went away as soon as he reached puberty, talking to my wife seems it was something he got from her dad. Her dads brothers helped him got him an apprenticeship as a butcher. Then bought a shop for him as a investment. Seeing this shows how important friends and family can be. If social supports do not exist. When my parents passed, us siblings bought my oldest brother a condo, where he lived until he passed himself a few years later.

I did as did the school system failed me.
It's too late for me and no one can understand that.

Maybe there were too many food options at the table.

Sounds like it's best for you to look for friendships to build in outside organizations at meetup.com or something like that. Look at school as "just school" and work as "just work" unless someone is coming up to you.

I don't consider meeting strangers off of the Internet in real life as a safe practice and we don't attend unnecessary activities in our home. Gas costs money. I don't have an income. Even if I did, I don't drive. I'll just have to suck it up and manage the loneliness like I had to throughout my teens and twenties. Daydreaming helps me feel less lonely. My daydreams are probably as close to a real life peer friendship and /or boyfriend that I shall ever have. At 33 years of age, it's probably about time I accepted that. Perhaps I should try to let go of the daydreams too. After all, it is also kind of like taunting oneself with what one will never really have.

The meetups typically happen in public spaces only. If someone is hosting at a personal home, which has happened before, you do not have to attend or can leave such meetups. It is free to sign up for meetup.com and most meetups do not charge. You do not need to join meetups that charge. Only organizers who start a meetup group must pay. Some organizers will try to collect money to help their expenses with running a meetup.com group, but you do not have to subscribe to that.

The only other way you can try to meet people is to volunteer through volunteer organizations or church if you like being religious.

All of these recommendations are reasonably safe. Anything can happen anywhere, including even at your own home. Having and income and driving do make a huge difference. Can you walk miles somewhere maybe and carry a bag with a towel, shampoo, and deodorant with you so that you may be able to clean up and not be too sweaty to others?
This lack of accessibility you have and your degree of risk taking contribute significantly to your social life.
My best wishes to you.
