Absolutely not. They should go into the trades. Master electrician > Master of business administration

I would just tell them it’s an option, so they know the only careers out there aren’t just lawyer / doctor / engineer to strive for. I think I’d rather my kid become a teacher or something else that really makes a difference in society than do what I do, I would rather want to make it easier for them to live on a lower-paying salary.

Teaching is definitely not easy and yes it’s low pay, which is why I wouldn’t want my kids to worry about taking a lower paying job if they find it rewarding, so they have a safety net in the end.
Have a few friends who are teachers and they really love it, and I think we just need more people in a variety of jobs no matter the pay. (Maybe lab work if they’re interested, working for a nonprofit, etc.)

Only if they play sports

Nope. Strongly advising against it.

I’m on the fence for it. Trades would be a great option. College is soo expensive but great life experiences and future potential. I will try to get them to just marry uber rich and not have to work 😂

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)!
