If you want a corporate job and don’t know what kind, try go to your cbd at around 6pm and watch who looks the happiest. Ask them what they do and maybe even an interview or to take your cv if you’re a job searcher.

Ask people around you this question. The responses I’ve been getting are fascinating and have been a boon to my friendships: ‘what’s something you don’t get enough if from people around you’?
When you’re not sure if a certain job, training or qualification will be good for your career capital, shift the dates in your CV back for the number of years the thing is, then change your number, and do a randomised control trial of your CV with and without that qualification. You can even test multiple alternatives in one sitting. Perhaps an agency could be set up to market-test career paths on behalf of client’s. Of course, they might be short-sighted to changes in market conditions, but it’s a far more realistic insight into the career capital of a certain qualification than bullshit hear-say or prestige which seems to be most people’s default.
Julian Blanc from RSD points out that he doesn’t scan (‘checking out’) people because he attracts, not pursues, and is confidnent if anything will happen, he doesn’t have to do some kind of flirty eye or physical distance game. I imagine it conserves a lot of willpower too.
Teach for >insert poor foreign country here< programs are really poorly paid: $6000 AUD max incl. provisions for rent for one I looked at. I doubt it’s an effective career path for givers.
Can someone point me to that program that prints every lesswrong comment you’ve made in one page? It’s Wai Dao’s creation IIRC.
The self-interest rationale for effective altruism probably dips into self efficacy, compassion, gratitude, meaning and community.
If you’re ever interested in doing something random with a long time commitment that you might dislike part-of-the-way like join the French Foreign Legion, consider applying for an anthropology PhD first to study >insert random thing here<. You may hate the thing, but you could get a doctorate out of it!
The Bullshit rules. You can’t have an apartment till you have 5 years of service, you can’t have a computer or telephone without permission which is a pain to get and if you get a telephone you can’t have a cell subscription unless you’re RSM.(Regularisation Service Militaire, means you get your real name back or if you joined with your real name, confirming that you really are you, a process that can take 5 months.) So I can’t bring a laptop? Fuck this shit. I just read: https://www.reddit.com/r/FrenchForeignLegion/comments/1t7bky/why_you_should_join_your_own_army_instead_of_the
Want to learn hand to hand combat? I can count on 2 hands the number of times we’ve had combat training, and half of the time you’re just running around or doing pushups to “warm up”. I am NOT exaggerating. And combat drills? Advance in one line, see the enemy, lay down a base of fire till the second group or section flanks them on the right or left. THAT IS ALL YOU DO. You do urban combat training at CENZUB but because of the Language barrier, you have a lot of idiots running around having no idea what they’re doing because urban combat can get a little complicated at times and Legionnaires have to understand exactly what their orders are and what their job is. So glad I read this. I guess I won’t become the elite special forces soldier I have dreamed about.
P.S. I really do hate to talk shit about the Legion so here’s one very good reason for joining. You get to go to missions to other countries, some of them dangerous! There’s always another war right around the corner.
Then again, I can find danger like that on my own, like my time in Colombia where I was too chicken to go to FARC and Venezualan territories!
Tyler from RSD supports Peter Thiel’s thesis that non-deterministic attitudes to the future are instrumentally catastrophic, irrespective of the empirical truth value. Any variance that can’t be explained with known natural phenomenon? Close your eyes to it! This may not make sense if you haven’t read Zero to One. Tyler’s video here. Always fascinating watch very separate premises arriving at the same instrumental conclusions, independent of robust mechanisms promoting or identifying that idea in advance, let alone compatible systems of worldviews.

If I have been depressed from late primary school onwards from the perception of pressure for high achievement and the teasing from family and friend from the prospect of failure to achieve that doesn’t have to be attributed to a weakness of my volition. At the end of the day if I’m getting teased that person is being mean and it’s not going to motivate or get me to work more effectively, it’s just gonna lower my self esteem.

That’s true for some people. Mostly in social enviroments were people aren’t good at giving advice.
