Good luck, I think you'll do great at whatever you set your mind to.

"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Do what makes you happy... and besides... someone has to fix all those leaky pipes...
What you do with your money is more important than how you earn it... you could have a not so glamorous job but at the same time be a good investor...

My father is a plumber, my father's brother is a plumber.
It's decent money. Much better if you own your own business and are a go-getter. But I'd consider both of them to be middle-class. Some companies offer better benefits and salaries than others and there's always union work, but I'm not sure if it's as lucrative as everyone thinks it is.
I work in IT administration right now. If I could make what I make here just laying pipe 40 hours a week, I'd almost consider it. Just because I know most of the people in the trade right now are losers and good men should always be able to find work SOMEWHERE. But I don't think I can. After 5 years, I'm making more than my father, a master plumber for about 30 years now.
It's blue-collar work, which means you're gonna break a sweat every day and you're paid by what you do moreso than what you know. You can "work your way up", but it takes time. If you wanna make money in a blue-collar field, you're eventually going to have to go into business for yourself and hire people to work under you. Otherwise you're just a wage-slave like everyone else. But that goes for ANY job.
Bottom line...if you don't WANT to do it, then don't. You're not passing up any "huge opportunity". You're not going to look back in 20 years and say, "My life would've been so much better if I had become a plumber". And if for some bizarre reason you do, just go to trade-school at night and learn it.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
