No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This is kinda hard to answer without knowing your situation. I mean if you could get into harvard could you cover the cost? So basically everyon has a limited set of options to follow. Even given that I can say I knew I wanted to be a science major based on my high school grades and fascination with how viruses replicate from the whirling blender experiment. I intended to do research and teach. I graduated but did not get through a PhD so that was out. I then worked in industry and found it really did not pay the bills well enough. Im lucky to have tech be this thing which almost anyone could do at the time if you were good with that stuff and make decent cash (you could say that its this way now but its really not the same). I worked in the field but with some serial unemployment but the only significant amount was in relation to the housing market crash. Now however im older and unemployed for over 2 years. So. Anyway. I guess im saying is you make choices from your options and even then things can go all over the place. Im glad I got a good liberal arts and sciences education because I kinda like learning. Im glad I did tech because you have to learn all the time. If I lived in a better society I think I would be generally happy. I sometimes think of things I could do different but I also see it pretty much going the same way really or not as its all kinda a roll of a die.
