I (22) worked a few years before deciding to go to uni. This list of careers will appear fairly far-fetched. It obviously isn’t a realistic career plan. It’s just to give an idea of absolutely every field that I’m interested in. If anyone else can think of any others that may align with my interests that’d be great

Careers I’m interested in:

Journalism

Academic Research (Sociology)

A Level Teaching

NGO work

Project management in the creative industry

Writer in the film/tv industry

I know most of these are a long shot/require hard work to get there, but would doing an English and Sociology degree be worth it? I know I’ll need to do a masters/further training afterwards

Did it seriously help you understand society and people better?

Did it influence what you want to do/what you’re doing now?

Did it make you less susceptible to manipulative societal forces? (e.g., the media)

It’s a short video about the psychology behind fashion. I found it rlly interesting but I’m not sure how solid the facts are/how respected fashion psychology is in the field

Studies mentioned in the video:

Enclothed Cognition — Adam & Galinsky (2012)

Extended Self — Belk (1988)

Clothing & Emotional Attachment — Dr. Dion Terrelonge

Colour Psychology Research — Kaya & Epps (2004)

Red Sneakers Effect — Bellezza, Gino & Keinan (2014)

I’ve always found work friends to be just that. I’ve gone to book clubs a few times and although I can talk to people and get along with them fairly easily it doesn’t turn into anything. Do most people just keep their friends from uni?

I’d love to know more about it if anyone has any info

I’d love to teach sociology and english. Is this possible? Could I teach English Literature for a few years and then go into teaching sociology with a bridging course in the subject?

I’ve never really talked about it other than to say I have a fairly low sex drive. I’m more grey than fully ace but still. I never crave penetrative/oral sex apart from on a few occasions after drinking. Does only being able to participate in it if it involves specific kinks still count as asexual or do many allos also experience that?
