"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I've got a major problem. I just failed my first university year and might have to get straight into work if I can't appeal it. I was studying computer science with games development. I KNOW I'm good at what I do, the problem was entirely with my organisation and motivation.

I honestly hadn't given much thought to the possibility of being in any other field so my question is, how can I stay in the IT field without a degree? I'm considering getting a full-time job and studying for computer science again, part time. But then would I have to work an unrelated job while I'm studying again or is there a possibility of that being in the IT field?

Maybe full-time education just isnt for me. I've already repeated a year in college and studied an extra year in a sh!tty university which got me into my current (much better) university. Maybe this is really an opportunity in disguise...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have 2 friends who work at ESPN doing IT work. They have no degree. They make good money and love working at ESPN. They got the job by having experience in the field and knowing someone at ESPN who helped them out. You dont need a degree but it does not hurt either.

But you have to realize that his success wasn't focused on technology, it was primarily his ability to build a viable corporation with a business model which was unique at the time. He just also happened to be a developer.
