  • electricians, plumbers

    Doesn’t require a college degree. May require trade school or an apprenticeship.

    math teachers

    Requires multiple degrees but they are extremely underpaid and while I do think the US could use more and better teachers, the funding of the public school system does not reflect that.

    chemists

    Probably ok prospects right now but the job market in general kinda sucks right now so you still might have trouble.

    etc etc etc.

    Computer science was an extremely desirable degree from an employment perspective up until a couple years ago, but now the computer science bubble is popping. But also in general the job market is awful right now. A lot of people I know with “practical” degrees like computer science, business, physics, and engineering are struggling to get jobs in the fields they majored in. And that’s not even getting into how awful the US system for becoming a doctor is…

















  • I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

    It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

    It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

    For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

    The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.
