Too late according to which criteria? Money? Definitely in the biological age when you can reasonably expect to not finish the school alive. And probable a bit earlier age.
Other quotation is for what to use school? If you definitely need a diplom to do what you want to do, that school makes sense.
Of you just want to learn something that is somehow useful, eg. for job promotion, than there are tons of great books, online video courses, many even free or cheap.
One my friend asked me about how to get to university in my country. When I dig deeper, it showed up she even don't need university for that topic of education and probable would do better without university at all.
That is interesting! What is your way to figure out which therapist is a good fit in just 15 minutes?
First of all, congratulation for taking the courage and charge and going for therapy! That by itself shows your dedication and determination π
Already many excellent answers here by others.
I would add, that you may ask about the way how therapy in their version is supposed to work. Otherwise you may just miss the essence of their questions and the whole thing would be ruined. So asking at the very beginning may be super helpful.
Being seriously depressed for six years looks to me like a great reason to go to a psychotherapist!
I myself was profoundly burned out and in deep crisis of meaning for 2-3 years, and hardly functioning about anything. Now, in retrospect, I regret to not see therapist early. I lost 3 years of my life that I will not get back. Mostly because neither I nor my close ones could help me, not even recommend me a therapy... Finally I get out of it with lot of self-help. But I bet it would be much more quick, and even cheaper if I would have some professional help.
Best luck! Life can be wonderful and you deserve it π
Second hand trauma unlocked π¬
But seriously now. Looks to me that you are looking for the combination of thing you enjoy and thing that brings you money. That can be a challenge but also very fulfilling. I know it - I lead a nonprofit organization that I profoundly believe in - it or both hard and easy.
You may look some YouTube videos about "life purpose". I have a good experience with Actualized.org.
Just enjoying the job π
Cool. Make sense. Sounds like a principle similar to !EffectiveAltruism@chirp.social.
Btw, current cryopreservation organizations (preferably nonprofit foundations rather then companies) have learnt from past mistakes. Eg Tomorrow Biostasis requires quite a big payment upfront that is invested in low risk way that is expected to provide profit at least 1% above inflation, and the profit is used to pay for maintaining the preservation and later for revival and reintegration into society. It is designed to be long term sustainable to prevent disposals.
As I see it, it is not a one direction transaction. Your dog give your their part, you did same. Would you get your beloved dog more health if you could? (I get it that not everyone can do it. But if that would not be an issue?)
But, ultimately, it is your decision.
Can you elaborate a bit, please?
Sounds reasonable. I do same.
