So what I’m hearing is that we’re officially the overachievers of the community? Though, having 73% of us with higher ed just confirms what I’ve always suspected: we’re clearly the ones winning the 'common sense' debate. Any men here brave enough to try and argue otherwise, or are you all just intimidated by the data? 😉

What’s the common sense debate?

Idk where the data is but I'd like to see what kind of degrees, avg salaries of degrees etc.
I have a buddy who doesn't have a degree but is making 6 figs while his wife with a degree stays at home.
And another buddy with a comp sci degree who can't find a job and his wife without a degree is a teacher...

We're all mature enough to know how to skew data points haha.

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
