Which profession would you pick?
Rules are
You have to pick something, unemployment is not an option.
It has to be a normal, regular job.
You will be moderately successful at your job. Eg if you pick actor, you won't be a superstar but you won't go unemployed etiher. You'll be making the average salary for the profession, so about 60k for actors in the US.

I'd want to be an architect tbh. I was very interested in the field ever since I was a kid but I could never pursue it

Idk, can't make an informed pick because I don't even know all the specialties so now I would be just picking something out of popularity etc.
Oh I see, well how about this, would you want to be a surgeon or a clinician?

Damn dude, do you feel that way as a programmer? I thought it was a pretty respected job too. They earn more than doctors here.
Yeah, it doesn't help that I have been locked in my room for past 2 years. Only reason people even remotely respects programmers is because of the money they earn not the field it self.
I have countless anecdotes from my own life when the moment I tell someone I am programmer they instantly say "Oh you must earn a lot". No one ever does that to doctors despite them also earning good money.

You're right about that. I don't think any other field gets as much respect as medicine does tbh, since they directly deal with human life
But if you compare the overall life quality I think programmers do better. They can work anywhere, they're free and don't need to take tens of official qualification tests doctors have to take, they don't have nearly as much responsibility etc

How's the public opinion of doctors over there? Here the average person hates doctors. They're seen as arrogant, smug, money hungry. Patients physically attack their doctor occasionally. There's at least one instance every week

I agree but my main gripe with this profession is that its extremely boring. And all that freedom and money means jackshit if you are mentally damaged shutin. I feel like past 4 years of my life have been literally wasted because nothing happened in my life. On the other hand my sister works in the medical field and every day she comes home from work she has new stories to tell and almost every day is different for her.

People might whine and bitch about healthcare system itself but they respect doctors, never heard about people attacking a doctor jfl.

I didn't know it was that boring but it makes sense. Essentially all you're doing is solving problems and typing, right? Are other programmars in a similar situation?

Ah, I guess it's a middle eastern thing then. It usually goes like, a very risky surgery fails, the patients son goes, you killed my father, and stabs the doctor. It's especially common in the east, and part of the reason why no doctors wants to work there. To compansate for this, every doctor has to serve for 2 years in the east before they can practice independently.

People that make steroids. Is that a chemical engineer? I want to be able to synthesize test and other compounds from scratch.
Well it's very hard to do everything from scratch as one person. You'd need an entire lab of chemists, chemical engineers and analysts.
Or you can just buy some powder from china and prepare it like everyone else does

Yes. Don't get me wrong it's not a terrible field I just don't think its for me or for people that are similar to me.
It's a great field if you are normie with a social circle, friends etc. To them this job gives security and good financial situation so they can focus on their other life aspects.

Brutal, the "east" in Turkey sounds like some troglodyte containment zone, is it like super undeveloped?

I understand you better now. Since you are a shutin that wants a social life, and your current profession offers no options of socialising. If you had been in a more people related field, you'd have more interaction, thus you'd be happier

I know a couple of people in your situation. They're pretty intelligent, but shutins. Society, and their families labels them as shy, even though they are actually just anxious, and deeply crave human touch and interaction. But it's far easy to label them as ''introverts'' and they're pushed towards ''introverted'' fields. Computer science, electrical engineering, IT... With time they lose all passion for their field (if they had any to begin with) and slowly fall into depression. Without any meaningful validation in their lives, they just keep working like machines anyways as they usually don't have much else to do. They evolve into cynical, repugnant people with time. You can even hear other peopel saying, oh him, he's the IT guy, he's the computer freak, of course he'll be cynical. The whole thing is one messed up cycle that's almost impossible to escape from

jfl... yeah it is very underdeveloped to this day, and it's mostly the previous governments fault. That region is full of uneducated kurds that nobody wants to do anything with. They'll vote for the kurdish party anyways so why bother trying to gain their approval, was the way of thought. Until the 90's most people there didn't even know how to read and write as they had no access to education.
Today, it's better in better shape than what it used to be but still is far behind the western part.
If you were to divide turkey in half, like this, the western part would essentially be a european country socioeconomically, culturally and somewhat genetically. It's the eastern part that makes us middle easterners.

Probably a lawyer or a therapist because there easy, no hard labor, ac, high prestige and income but too much school. But knowing people's secrets would mogg.

do you seriosuly believe in homeopathy?
Yes, I know how controversial homeopathy is and how many successes may be due to the placebo effect. But the successes are there and that without drugs from the pharmaceutical industry.
The thing is, the human body has extreme self-healing powers, but modern medicine does not recognise these and at the same time tries to treat the symptoms rather than the actual causes.

If a living being cannot help itself, not even with the "healing plants from the garden of God" (as Maria Treben called it), then said living being should also die. This is how it is in nature.

I read that it's really popular in Germany compared to the rest of europe, any particular reason?

Can you explain it a little bit? I mean what does it do and how is it any different from just water? Doesn't homeopathy has it's own industry aswell? It's not like it'll be safe from capitalist influence

What exactly do you mean with exterme self healing powers, and how doesn't modern medicine recognize them? The entire field revolves around the body's ability to heal itself. Treatments are classified, as curative and noncurative. Certain disorders and diseases are impossible to cure with the current tech so they just treat the symptoms, what's wrong with that?

Can you give some examples to treating the symptom instead of the cause? I've heard this phrase many times before but never understood what it really meant

Well, what about autoimmune diseases and cancers? They're not even going to die immediately. Without modern medicine most would suffer greatly to the point of utter insanity. Prior to the common usage of steroids, rheumatoid arthritis patients would essentally have their hands crumble into a pile of rusted bone, and since it's not a lethal disease they'd have to live that way until their death. Nature is far from perfect after all. There's absolutely no reason why one should accept it as a guide

Well it came out of Germany so probably has something to do with that. It's also common in Switzerland too.
Some homeopaths tried to bring that shit over to Turkey but it backfired greatly. We already suffer from the Turkic folk medicine, we can't handle the german one on top of that.

It originated in Germany and I think we are still one of the most Nature-Loving Nations in Europe.
I think it has just grown to be a part of German culture with time, though a small part of course.

It was spreading here during early 2000s as well. My mom was very into it and almost fucking died because these meme-tier scammers. She recovered only when she started using normal medicine.

It's always the middle aged women that buy into this stuff. Same with acupuncture, energy therapies, and all variations of them. Sometimes it's just blind hope, I remembered a story I had heard

There was this wealthy women here. Wife of some rich factory-owner. She gets diagnosed with colorectal cancer. She apperantly led a healthy lifestyle, but you know cancer, if you get unlucky there's nothing you can do about it. It was late stage 4, so doctors told her there wasn't much hope even with treatment.
Then, from some random source on the internet, she hears that the blood of some endemic turtle in the western Turkey cures cancer. How fucking stupid is that, right? She was well educated too. But it's the only hope she has, so she just goes for it. Discontinues medical treatment and sends some of his husbands men to catch a couple of turtles. It takes them weeks since it's a rare species. Then they bring the poor turtles back, they cut them open and drain their blood. The woman drinks it, and states that she started feeling better already
Unfortunately, her symptoms worsen within a couple of months, and she has to be hospitalized. She then dies due to cancer related complications in the hospital.

I feel like stories like this are quite common, we just don't hear about them

Oh fuck, I made an mistake. I meant Naturopathy, not Homeopathy with the self-healing powers.
My brain sometimes mixes them up.
Homeopathy isn't really my topic to be honest. I think it's interesting, but I never had personal experience with it.

But you know what? I have to do some more research on that topic and then I will make an high-quality Thread about it in the future.
Your Post is bookmarked so I can answer your questions then and tag you.

Makes sense, Homeopathy states that liquids or substances that have been in contact or mixed with another, retain their “essence” and that’s what makes them work.
It’s bs, it’s like saying I’m a hamburger because i ate it once or I’m a sky scraper because I touched it
