    Same here. As much as I'd like to use my diploma, I don't know if it'd be feasible in the long-run. I'm applying to unrelated fields, but I can't even get anything there...

    Your degree is useful, you just need to add onto it a bit. That's how science degrees are, there's a specific path to follow to get to the good jobs. If you like the research aspect, get a thesis masters and that'll give you +2 years of research experience, more credibility, hiring preference over people with bachelors, and open more doors for lab jobs with networking, and would allow you to become a teacher. Or you could go for a medical related grad degree like physician assistant, pharmacist, physical therapist etc. since your degree probably included most of the requirements for those schools already if it's the same as the U.S. - the government hires people with ecology specialties to work in national parks too, I think you said that was your concentration once.

    You are entitled to a good job - you got a good degree, don't be too hard on yourself.

    I'm similar. I have a degree that's mostly useless, yet I'm even having difficulty finding jobs outside of that field of work. I don't even have enough work completed to get my foot in the door in the animation world so I just need SOMETHING to make money. I feel like all I can get is jobs in retail, but I'm trying to get away from retail and find something that pays better, but no luck.

    My wife's been getting up at 5am for the past few weeks in order to read and write before we go to work. I thought I might try 6am myself today, because we go to bed early now and I feel like I don't have enough hours in the day.

    My eyes are burning. Send coffee.

    Is it? I still have CC 2015 and wanted to upgrade. But maybe I shouldn't.

    In all this crazy, fantastic, chaotic, magical, incredible world there is a state of being that exudes a reality where peace meets humanity fully and openly, and another state of being that allows us all to accept it freely.

    Whatever you do, don't use CC 2019 yet. I wanted to upload 5 medium size photos of my work to my computer, and after 3 hours of watching the programs hang and crash I used the previous version to do the same thing in 5 minutes. People are pretty mad about it.

    I sympathize. Math is so hard. I've struggled with it forever.

    My family finished decorating for Christmas today. All we had left to do was put our tree up and set up our nativity set. Both are up. Now that the house is fully decorated, we can focus on wrapping presents.

    Read and write at 5:00am? That's dedication. I have a hard time getting up at 7:00am.
