inI finally looked up how many people actually use their degree, and the number floored me
Yeah I feel that, I got a history degree and now I sell insurance. My diploma is somewhere in a box in the garage, probably next to old phone chargers. You spend four years stressing about a major and the job market just does whatever it wants anyway.

inA guy in a 2011 forum thread told me podcasts would never last because nobody wants to listen to people talk, and now I think about him every time I finish a 2 hour episode
That 2011 guy has no idea how many hours of my life strangers talking have filled.

inPSA: Skip the $60 laser level gadget and spend $12 on a 4 foot spirit level instead
My old boss made us hang cabinets in a house in Gilbert with nothing but a chalk line and a 2 foot level, and those doors still shut smooth ten years later. The fancy tools don't fix bad eyes or a rushed hand, and most of the laser drift I've seen came from the tripod getting bumped, not the unit itself. Half the time the cheap tool forces you to slow down and actually check your marks twice, which is the whole job anyway.
