I have three Associate Degrees and since being (possibly wrongfully might I add) terminated from my job, I've had plenty of time to horn my skills and talents. Yet at the end of the day I'd much rather be washing dishes. It beats having to depend on deliveries. Great side hustle, but not self-sustaining. Is this just burnout?

Burnout 100%. I went back to blue collar and couldn't be happier (other than maybe retiring from work).

Wait I'm confused did you get a new job as a dishwasher or do you just like washing dishes? If the latter, you can probably obtain a job washing dishes and get paid for it.

so I see that the Arrow is the name of the dog. I had assumed that Harry was referring to his cock. Like, that's his life's focus. He doesn't follow his nose, but rather, he follows his cock. A man of instinct, content to be led by it.

Why get three associate's degrees and not, you know, a bachelor's degree?

Also:

Not enough time, apparently.

Burnout from what?
Burnout is for people with demanding careers who are suffering actual psychological distress
You don't get burnout washing dishes or doing DoorDash

Too many prospects and hard to settle on one profession.

Yeah 3 associates degrees takes longer than 1 bachelors and is worth less. Just bounce around doing new jobs until you find one you like or at least don't mind doing and pays decent.

This isn't true. Although it's not skilled work you need to be trained for it's still very hard work.

As someone who has hired a lot of people, there may be some concern about the time spent in a 2 yr college.
A question if I may to OP. What kind of career were you shooting for?

That's a good point. Might be a good time to only admit to the pertinent degree/school and leave the rest off of the record.

That’s not necessarily true, the same credits can count towards two degrees at the same time. You can also get an associate degree before you graduate high school.

I could have done that. I chose not to.

Course you can. "Burnout" is just long-term occupational stress. You've never heard of gig economy workers being stressed and exhausted?

Are you OP? (I’m asking because it’s hard to tell whenever somebody clears their cookies).
I don’t think going to a 2 year school / community college is necessarily a bad thing. I guess the point is to transfer to a 4 year school and then complete the final two years there. Overall, the degree is the same either way in terms of career prospects, but it’s less expensive overall. So I don’t think doing community college after high school is a bad decision. And if there’s a gap between finishing community college and starting at a university, that’s life I guess, nothing is perfect. In the end it doesn’t matter.

Tbh I’ve used those apps before and sometimes they have statistics like "this person has done over 5,000 orders" or something. But can you imagine picking up food or getting groceries or something that many times? I find shopping boring and I don’t even have to do that much of it.
