Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

How did you get your first job? Apartment/house? Dating?

I ask because I really only did so after years of bouncing around from colleges, summer abroad programs, living with friends, and really just use Zillow or StreetEasy to look.

(I also ask because I want a distraction from the world that isn't entertainment or documentary/non-fiction and often daydream about what things I could have done different had I known things - real life skills - earlier.)

I think about this a lot

I think mentorship is really important. Ideally we can get that from our parents, but in many cases either they don't know the answers or are just shitty. You have to find someone that is doing the thing you want to do, or being the person you want to be, and ask them what they did to get there. Ideally multiple times.
