    I just wanted to say that I made this thread not to just be an outlet for negatives, but positives as well. Encouraging things too. Smiley

    Not that anyone should hold back negative feelings here.

    I wish I'd known that as unbearable as it was living with my psychotic and abusive cousin last year, I would get out of there soon and that I would be okay.

    I wish I'd known that I would be able to overcome the death of my brother.

    I wish I'd known that as scared and alone as I felt when I left Islam, I would soon find a world of supportive and kind people on the internet, and make some of the best friends I've ever had. yes

    I was skimming through this thread and read that as  "I pulled those fingers out of my ass." Cheesy

    Great posts Abood, I have to agree with you about employers placing a lot of value in experience instead of just a college degree. That's why I think it's important for people to get an internship while they're still in college.

    Freelance stuff is good i suppose for temp stuff, not long term. Tongue

    New survey: 2012 Freelance Industry Report

    Some stats:

    - 47.2% of freelancers surveyed said they're the primary income earners in their household, 16.4% said they're on par with another family member, 36.4% not primary earners.

    - 90% are happier as freelancers (either strongly or moderately agree), 8% are undecided, 2% less happy.

    - 58% feel more secure as freelancers, 20% are undecided, 22% less secure.

    - 33% earn more as freelancers, 53% earn less, 14% haven't worked anything else so have nothing to compare with.

    - 52% have more free time as freelancers, 26% have less, 21.6% said it's about the same.

    - 43% said there's no way they'd go back to being an employee, 50% said it depends on the job, 5.3% said they'd absolutely go.

    Overall, it seems that freelancers are happy with their jobs, the only downside being the lower pay--which is nevertheless mostly good enough for them to be the primary earners, and is also made up for by the increase in freedom. And it seems that, contrary to popular belief, most feel quite secure in their jobs.

    I wish I had known how far a little confidence in myself could take me

    I wish I had known that Islam was complete bullshit instead of worrying about religion, spent my days in college/highschool selecting muslim friends so that I'd be guided to the right path lol

    I wish I had known from an early age to love myself and to take care of my body instead of starving and binge eating for 7 years.

    I think there's a different kind of understanding of how important education/career path and constant hard work along with it is when you've put yourself in the context of 'real life' experiences as opposed to within the learning system (a sort of childish angle of looking at it). Wish I had that balanced perspective about a year ago.

    Hopefully I've not irreversibly damaged my chances.
