Hmm im not sure anything I can say will truly help, but I'd like to try. But I hope you're okay. I know things can get pretty tough in life, and your outlook seems pretty bleak given all the ups and downs. But I really hope that this degree works out for you. The fact that you're at a new university tells me that you still care enough to keep trying.

Even if we are in hell, Im happy to know that one person is stubborn enough to pursue something they're passionate about in the odds of it all. Seems like a fitting way to stick it to the system and do what makes you happy.

Anyway, I hope your situation improves. There's at least one stranger out there rooting for ya :)

Hey man, I appreciate it. I'm currently living with my folks right now, so I'm not struggling or stressed much, but even they can see the writing on the wall. We're in Hell, and it's not getting better anytime soon, so they're very supportive of me trying things to become more employable. As for things improving soon, I don't see that happening without a massive twist of fate, since modern politicians and techbros seem dead set on burning everything down for short term profits. Gonna do my best to face each day as it comes, though.

Value of labor will go up after a couple of decades, if only because the world population is imploding.
