25M here, highly considering going to school to get my degree in this field since it has been my passion for many years now, I need to finally take the risk and take the plunge. When looking at schools in the Chicago area, both of these options came up, I can't quite decide between the two and was looking for advice on which school is the better choice? Also, for those who have earned their degree from either school, was it worth it?

25 M here, I currently work at Whole Foods Market and can't stand it. Managers and Supervisors are beyond rude, my schedule sucks, and I can't stand being forced to stand for 6 to 8 hours all the damn time. I feel like I'm going to go crazy and snap one day because I can't take it anymore. Someone even asked me why I looked so down, when I explained why they laughed at me.

What am I doing wrong? I've applied to positions as a Bank Teller or a Receptionist, roles that have easily transferable skills, but no dice. I also have an Associates of the Arts and a Beginner's Cybersecurity Certificate, but every tech job seems to want a Bachelors Degree, which I can't afford right now. I feel really stuck and frustrated, I'm not really sure what to do anymore? I feel likr hard work gets you nowhere anymore and I'm destined to be a worthless peasant for the rest of my life.

What the fuck even is the other option anymore? I tried going to a Meetup Event at my local Indie Theater this past week and proceeded to have one of the worst nights of my life. The group says that they're meeting in the lounge, I'm immediately hit with a crowded room and an overwhelming noise of chatter. I start having a panic attack and have to go off into a corner to calm down, it was so bad that I started crying, I feel like such a loser for crying in public. The Event Organizer then states that they've moved to the line outside, I do find them and introduce myself, but nobody proceeds to talk with me. I try to interject a few times and I'm met with indifference and glares, they even turned their backs to me. What's wrong with me man? All I want to do is find people who I can talk to, and I can't find a single person to talk to. I'm currently sitting in bed crying while typing this, I'm really close to giving up.

Kind of a follow up to my previous post on here, thank you to everyone who was exceptionally nice and kins to me, I really do appreciate it. Anyway, I'm a movie buff and like going to the theater fairly often, I have an AMC A-List membership and I'm a frequent patron of the Music Box theater in Chicago, I used to go to the Alamo as well, but won't now due to the QR code bullshit. While I do enjoy going to the movies, I often go alone and feel a little sad and maybe a bit envious when I see others, sometimes couples, watching the film together. I have no one around me to share my passion with, most people my age (25 soon to be 26 btw) don't want to watch the movies I'm interested in, it's a very lonely and isolating feeling. If there's some way to be at peace with watching stuff alone or find people who share similar interests then I would appreciate the suggestions.
