can I get an advice

[pale shard]

Umm basically I dropped out of school and I agree it's my fault I haven't studied for a long time(been 2 or 3 years)
I just decided I can't just give up
I have to be my own help and support

I want to study fashion designing, but the the problem is I can't figure out what subjects to choose....
Arts isn't available for private candidates
And Ig I'll have to take Math, English asl, chemistry, biology and physics
Idk what other subjects to pick

Also, will it affect me in future with joining a college if I had 2-3 years of gap in studies?

[sonic violet]

fashion deign

then choose dt

design technology

[granite moss]

Yes

[sonic violet]

thats actually a lot

bru u have been chillin

[pale shard]

Idk what to do
I can't just give up on me
I used be so creative and science lovin' kid
But then I used to get bullied and because of my beliefs It was unsafe I had to leave school
I just gave up one me
But now I believe I should try again

[sonic violet]

ur beliefs?

everyone gets a second chance at life

[pale shard]

I was an atheist and exmuslim

[sonic violet]

it depends on how hard u try to earn it

[sonic violet]

oh

[pale shard]

I don't want to give up this time

[granite moss]

I'll be here to talk later

[pale shard]

In pakistan

[granite moss]

I can answer your questions don't worry, you'll be fine

[pale shard]

First step: move abroad

[full jungle]

It might have a slight affect, but it won't actually stop u. Many people continue school later in life and have taken bigger gaps. + Where do u wanna study?

[pale shard]

I would if I was able to
The whole point of why I wanna study is because I wanna move to someplace where I can persue my dreams

[pale shard]

I haven't decided yet, Idek much about universities tbh

[tiny tangle]

actual career advice? choose a better career path

realistically youre not going to be able to afford anything with a degree in fashion

[pale shard]

Ik it should be an arts/ fashion college

[pale shard]

There are people who live on with fashion designing no?

[tiny tangle]

its not a safe option at all lol theres a good chance theyll just end up with unemployment

[pale shard]

Mann idk what to do I am really into fashion
I was not even 14yet when learned to knit and crochet and made my own gloves and a beanie and made everything except for sweaters(I am learning to knit them now)

[nocturne lark]

take further maths

[pale shard]

Clothes designs really catch my attention all the time and I am always thinking innovatively about the designs I see online, thinking how I could add or subtract something from them

[nocturne lark]

yeah i agree with faris why r u doing a degree in fashion

[pale shard]

Because I've wanted to study fashion designing
I don't have any interest in science or anything else anymore

[tiny tangle]

i see where youre coming from but why not just keep this as a hobby

fashion designers arent really needed in society

[pale shard]

But I am not interested in any other career

What else would I choose for future?

[tiny tangle]

have you tried branching out and reading about other careers?

how old are you if you dont mind me asking

[pale shard]

Ig I should research about them

[tiny tangle]

at 13 i wanted to go into computer science and here i am at 17 preparing for medical school

[pale shard]

17

[tiny tangle]

people can change a lot

[pale shard]

I see

[tiny tangle]

id say so
at the end of the day its your choice

[full jungle]

u can always minor or double major in fashion designing!

[sonic violet]

btw this is ur last choice

https://tenor.com/view/dead-omg-hang-toilet-paper-what-gif-4983440139250139885

[pale shard]

😭

[sonic violet]

im jk

[pale shard]

Nahh I won't give up me😌

[pale shard]

I understand

I promised myself a better future and I'll keep that promise

[full jungle]

that's a really good mindset 🙂

[pale shard]

@pale shard Leave Cambridge, go to vocational school

And atleast try getting highschool diploma

[pale shard]

Won't they require matriculation ig

I was once forced by my parents to do matriculation after I left school
That's one of the reasons I gave up on me before
I wish I hadn't

I just couldn't do it
I don't feel like I can do matriculation

[vale ferry]

☠️

[pale shard]

Are you still an athiest "ex-Muslim"?

[granite moss]

Most universities want your igcse results to be atleast 3 years old and nothing more. Otherwise youd have to take it again

Likewise for A levels

[pale shard]

that is not what i expected 💀

yk getting a good job as a fashion designer is very unlikely imo

its not a safe career path

ngl you're better off doing something more safe, and then keep fashion design as a backup

like someone said, you could do a double major

but if you dont want to be homeless in the future, something else should be your main source of income, and fashion designing can be a second source or a side hustle

ive looked at multiple sources, and they say entry fashion designers make like 30k annually and COULD go up to 70k, which personally in this economy is not enough

the choice is yours

but i recommend doing something else as a main

[pale shard]

What about acting

[vale ferry]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[granite moss]

Idk why you guys are making fun of him

[vale ferry]

im laughing at the acting thing

[pale shard]

😾

[fervent valve]

being an atheist and an ex muslim and living in pakistan is like

asking to literally get murdered

@pale shard if nothing else works try economics

(i'm not a professional counselor)

[pale shard]

I hate subjects related to money
I don't get them and I get stuck in a web of different concepts

Seriously y'all are no help at all

Someone is laughing at me someone is giving inconvenient advice

[lyric barn]

you haven't been of any help to yourself in the past 2-3 years

fix yourself first before attempting to degrade others

you could have chosen homosexuality instead of atheism

atleast that would have landed you a job in a brothel

[vale ferry]

bro cooked himself then wonders why the advice we give wont work

[pale shard]

I'll remember this forever
Thanks for yet another scar

[winged kestrel]

Gave +1 Rep to @lyric barn (8)

[deep night]

I would say just learn stocks on the side, it’s a really good side hustle to have and really easy to learn if you put in a little effort. I’ve been doing it for some time now and made quick profits

[tight sluice]

i think u should try exploring more carreers because like other ppl have mentioned fashion desgining won't provide enough income for u. My cousin is a desginer and she regrets a lot not taking other major. you can do knitting and all as hobby. but choose a better carrer path.

u can even try smth like psych for a matter of fact

now that u have already taken a 2 year break take some more time to process everything

research and all will help

[pale shard]

is it our fault 💀

you arent interested in any career, you took a two year gap, and your beliefs..

not much anyone can do to help

[sterile frigate]

wtf was the point of saying this

[desert ginkgo]

why would you take 2-3 years off

thats really stupid

[vale ferry]

bro u aint him

''thanks for yet another scar'' weird ass mf

[granite moss]

How do you know what hes going through

You can't assume everyone is as privileged as you are

[pale shard]

If i make dumb decisions and then complain that other people are privileged, it’s my fault right?

[granite moss]

I don't understand, how are you so sure that that decision wasn't partially for a reason we may never know

Honestly guys, either approach this with respect or that you don't speak at all

[pale shard]

What respect 💀 how does someone even help this person

[full jungle]

literally

[pale shard]

Forge about beliefs for a second

[granite moss]

Then remain silent 🤷‍♀️

[pale shard]

But think about your career??? You aren’t interested it anything

And then you want help? And then you bash people who actually tried to give you advice

[granite moss]

I mean- alot of us are undergoing identity crisis lol

We don't know what we want to do with the remaining time we have on this planet

[granite moss]

Did he bash anyone..? look back and check pretty sure he's been trying to get as much info as possible with the ones he has

[full jungle]

it was still ridiculous to say they should've chosen homosexuality instead of atheism so that they'd get a job in a brothel like what the hell does that have to do with anything and is also like a very weird thing to say to someone?

[pale shard]

I think gay people have more respect in Pakistan than an atheist who was once a Muslim

I’m not saying what that guy said is correct

[granite moss]

Thas what I'm saying- people went past the point and just started to make fun of him

[pale shard]

This isn’t a perfect world where whatever you want to be will be accepted 💀

You have to think about your decisions, especially something as serious as this. Like dropping out for two years

[granite moss]

I'm not complaining lol, just asking yall to remain silent if u had no real advice

[granite moss]

Well- whats done is done and bro cant do shit to go back in time

[pale shard]

I said like 3 weeks ago that this person should do something else

Because fashion designing is too risky and most people dont make money

[granite moss]

There ya go, that's great!

[pale shard]

But OP is not interested in any career choice, so what can someone even tell them?

[granite moss]

Opinions matter too

[granite moss]

Well, hes tryna find out from second hand opinions. Ig thas the point of this channel

[pale shard]

At the end of the day he’s gonna have to do something

[granite moss]

Igtg

[pale shard]

If he wants to survive, there should be no excuses

[granite moss]

I have an exam in a few

[pale shard]

Gl

[full jungle]

good luck!

[full jungle]

oh I see

[full jungle]

yeah

Ok OP ur kinda at a very difficult point in ur life. For the gap years u took dw about those they don't matter to much esp if for uni ur applying abroad. Secondly if u really wanna do fashion designing how about doing it as a double major alongside another major that'd give u financial security? Or u could minor in fashion designing or even do postgrad in it after doing undergrad in something else maybe. As for beliefs I totally understand how difficult it must be for you, people can be so very harsh to people who hold different beliefs. Don't pay any mind to any disgusting comments! (in the thread and irl) There's nothing wrong with u at all. Perhaps u should use this as motivation to work harder so u can leave this place and settle somewhere else. Choosing a career and stuff is already so difficult bcs ur deciding what u might be doing for the rest of ur life, and it's even harder when you've got other shit going on in ur life and u may not be feeling very motivated or interested in anything. This is normal to feel, but u must try to make a decision. Something that I like was that ur determined not to give up, which is a good mindset. You're capable of giving urself a good life. There are people here and irl who're willing to help you

continue asking qs u feel like are important, people in this server (mostly) want to help everyone! Good luck

[lyric barn]

i went back through this thread

the people here have approached his question with the utmost respect

i am actually rather shocked at how patient some of the replies in this thread have been

[sterile frigate]

your response was not patient or respectful

[lyric barn]

this is also a very ignorant and weird thing to say to a group of people who are trying to give him advice

[sterile frigate]

[lyric barn]

the fact that he finds some of the advice inconvinient is mostly due to his own shortcomings, a lot of options have been proposed; he finds interest in none

and on top of that, he would go out of the way to bash the same hand that is trying to feed him

[sterile frigate]

the brothel comment is still weird and insensitive

anyways he’s probably not checking this anymore may as well leave it

[lyric barn]

yeah and he has already found the advice he was looking for honestly

so that should be the end of discussion

peace

[sterile frigate]

I hope you can use your religious beliefs constructively

peace

[lyric barn]

it wasnt a matter of religion anyway

peace

[granite moss]

Bruh

I'm not even gonna waste my time arguing with you

Anyway OP, I suggest you seek irl guidance rather than ask a buncha teenagers for advice like this lol

[full jungle]

no matter what else was said, it doesn't change the fact that the brothel comment was insensitive, unhelpful, and a weird one to make.

[full jungle]

yes exactly

[full jungle]

this is a good point

[full jungle]

my advice is still this, if u read this thread op

[vale ferry]

i identify as a computer axial tomography machine

[granite moss]

Real

[desert ginkgo]

um becz it dosent matter what hes going through

he didnt speicfy anything BAD happned to him he js said he dropped out nd is lost

which i dont understand , why would you drop out with no plan

most dropouts have a plan b4 they dropout

[tiny tangle]

i think u can assume that if he just dropped out with no plan then something bad mustve happened

anyway ppl gave their advice and he can choose whether or not to listen

youre acting like being ungrateful for advice is some huge sin lol its not a big deal

[fading jacinth]

its goofy when you cook yourself and get mad at people for reminding you that you're cooked

[tiny tangle]

thats true

[fading jacinth]

not everyone gets what they want thats the harsh reality, he shouldve just studied and focused on whatever he wants later

with a stable income

[tiny tangle]

OP u js gotta work on urself man ¯_(ツ)_/¯

exmuslim at 17 is crazy ngl go read your religions book thoroughly then make a decision

[fading jacinth]

true ive never seen a true man of god fail at what they want

[worn geode]

word!

[pale shard]

Hand that wants to see me sitting in a brothel.

[pale shard]

Lemme tell you your beliefs are shit anyway

[pale shard]

I didn't join this server to get sermons on what to believe and what not to believe.
Religion is my fuckin personal matter.

[tiny tangle]

okay bro enjoy your life

[pale shard]

Easy for you to say, you don't have fear of getting your head decapitated

[tiny tangle]

yep 👍

[granite moss]

This is pure on immaturity omg

I'm leaving this ambiguous on purpose

[foggy hamlet]

this entire thread is a fever dream

wtf happened here 😭

[lyric barn]

also the hand that doesn't want to see your head getting decapitated 😘 (in your own words)

[silent moon]

Follow your heart 🥰😍

[pale shard]

thissss sooo funnyy dawg im crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[pale shard]

@lyric barn put your mother at brothel first
