My gf is ditching her "dream" in animation for something a little less glamorous and I can already see the wall she's...

Animation is absolute hellish slave work. 80hr weeks standard, bad pay, 0 recognition

Link her to this thread, and we’ll run through it all with her.

She said she doesn't want to do that because she doesn't want to sit behind a computer screen all day.

What the fuck sohuld I recommend a girl I actually want to marry to do? I'd like her to be passionate about something but I feel like shes just jumping from vine to vine wasting time "looking for her passion"

yeah that's good and all, but passion doesn't get you jobs. my girlfriend was really passionate about being an animator too and it didn't pan out too well. there is a chance she'll make it, but it's really a longshot. That said, I have a degree in geology and I can tell you there ain't shit in the field of environmental sciences.

Did you put a ring on her yet?

Try and steer her in a decent direction with benevolent manipulation. Try and find something else she likes or something close that actually pays and piques her interest.
Honestly OP you should have seen this coming one day and din't have a plan? Being Canadian only excuses you from dipshittery for so long ya' know.

Put her in front of an oven, see if that does the trick.

knock her up and let her find her passion of being a mother.

He's a leaf, balls aren't in their vocabulary

Yeah I know passion doesn't make everything, I know her and I know she doesn't work hard and I know where this route is going to take her. I just want a girl who's passionate about something and works hard to make herself about it. I don't want to have the mother of my kids raising them weak

No, but I was planning to next year when she graduated the animation program she just dropped out of

I thought she was into animation and I was going to help her do that, but she's really jumping ship for some new shit she never even told me about before

she will raise my kids like underachieving pussies. I need a go getter girl like myself

Just say "No" to her. Also, do you have a good job?

politely inform the bitch she doesn't need a degree to make sandwiches

Make enough money to have her stay at home and raise your kids. Problem solved

I need to make a dentist appointment

Yes, 120k/year in leaf bucks so about 100k US

Another roastie thot 10 becomes an 8 because of tacky belly ring.

>so your plan is to break up with her? then why did you write this blog if you already know what you want to do?

Environmental studies isnt a dead end these though. I mean you could look at Aus's skilled worker visa list and find positions like Arboretum specialist or land conservation specialist.

What you should be doing is encouraging her to go into the E studies field that MAKES MONEY. So perhaps steer her towards something like land conservation or agriculture.

Yeah I know she was into animation that was your red flag that you should have been introducing her to a back up. This is why I playfully quiz my girlfriend about some medical shit and now she asks about what I'm studying while shes in first year comp sci.

if your still falling for the degree meme in 2018 your already screwed.

Voice your concern's user. Maybe convince her to play adult by paying for her own school.

A career in animation is probably unlikely anyway. It’s a niche thing that barely anyone breaks into because its so over saturated.

I have an animation degree
animation is a horrible dream

Why would you be paying for her student loans?

Because if I have 5 kids with her she's not going to be working for 15 years or so and is going to need to make payments on her student loans

Truth.

Source: I am an animator. Don't animate in Canada especially, unless she aspires to work at feature level.

Man up and tell her to stay home and cook and clean while you work

I thought school was free in leafland? Even if it wasn't, it should be cheap. Also don't pay for her college you cuck.

Why not environmental science? Has the missing STEM part not just the fun parts

user, I want you to listen very closely to me: cum inside of her pussy

This. Especially when it has to do with turning deserts into forests or increasing vegetation through a government contract.

She's more concerned with making all of our straws paper and reusable shopping bags. She's naturey but i don't think she'd do agriculture or has any real interest in land conservation or vegetation

I just noticed the "go getter like myself" part of the post. What are you out of curiosity OP? I'm not asking out of spite, I'm asking to see what you could introduce her to.

College is dollar for dollar one of the worst investments you can make now days.

tell her to get a writing degree so she can leave a really good suicide note when the time comes

Complete opposite. I'm a robotics engineer working for the counterterrorism sector of the canadian military. She wants to stay away from all science (and math) things in particular because they just "turn her brain off"

Thats a bit unfair desu

I know a mate who did land conservation based e studies degree and hes been working with Parks WA for about 5 years. Making good pay and gets to see some amazing sights.

>She's more concerned with making all of our straws paper and reusable shopping bags
I mean it COULD be good if she gets with a big recycling company like Veolia or Visy. Talk about that and she what she has to say. Especially now with a lot of big companies switching to environmental practices. Its a thing in building and construction as well now.

>She wants to stay away from all science (and math) things in particular because they just "turn her brain off"

She'll still need math in e study courses. At least over here you do.

Give her a baby. There, she's got something to be passionate about for years. Seems like she's trying too hard to find her "thing"

>I know a mate who did land conservation based e studies degree and hes been working with Parks WA for about 5 years. Making good pay and gets to see some amazing sights.
I think she'd like to do something like that too, though im not sure if a "2 year associates degree" at a comm college could really get her there, as she's pretty staunchly opposed to going to a big university as she can't really learn without smaller classrooms/more 1 on 1

the program shes already been accepted to has no math requirement, just bio/chem/geog

She's 20 and I'm 24. She doesn't want kids for a few years at least because she wants to "change the world" for fucks sake

have you tried turning her brain off and on again?

women are best at being housewives.

FPBP

Dating should only exist as a vehicle toward marriage and and a wife's place is in the home.

If she doesn't agree with that then dump her ass and stop wasting your time, faggot.

Attached: 1537501594003.jpg (500x666, 64K)

they are actually genuinely terrible at being housewives and caretakers. Especially these days, none of them have been taught anything by their parents and they struggle to learn how to do any cooking or cleaning on their own volition.

A 2 year degree in environmental studies is enough for her to get a low-level job working as a health inspector.

So if she wants to see grease and rats and totally destroy her ability to eat in a restaurant forever, that's the job for her.

Yeah but let's not be so one dimensional for a second. A woman has a life before and after children, and it would be nice if she can get back into her passion after having a family just to keep herself busy and fulfilled when the kids are grown up. Is there anything wrong with that? So many wives I see taking up some bullshit job after families to "make ends meet" and I sure as shit am not going to let her rot away as a fucking house ornament, I'd like to cultivate her interest in something she can enjoy doing lifelong, even if it means taking a few years off to have childrensz

Why would you have to pay for it? Tell her to marry you. If you don't want to marry her, you shouldn't be with her. Date with purpose, my man.

Listen fren I've been married a few years and from what I can tell from mine and others the girls that are happy before the marriage "with their life" are the ones that are happy after the marriage. The ones looking "for their passion" will get you to buy their ticket to ride the cock carousel. Either YOU are her passion, or she will find a guy that is. Say goodbye or acreencap this so you can read this when it happens. Don't driver this last part : HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TOLD YOU SO YOU FUCKTARD

Contrary to popular belief not all 20 year olds are ready to settle down.

t. Aussie pussy who was beaten by emu army

>Ultimately I want her to be happy and do what she loves
This is the biggest fucking joke that they tell you growing up. NOBODY DOES WHAT THEY LOVE. Do you think fucking pipe fitters love fitting pipe? Roofers love roofing? Secretaries love answering phones? Realizing what a total lie that whole thing is is the first step towards being an adult. You do whatever you have the ability to do that pays the most that you hate the least.
You tell that stupid cunt to give up on that fairy princess garbage right fucking now and if she's going to get a degree it better be in something she can actually get employed doing, otherwise you're firing a baby into her ovaries and her job will be raising your seed and caring for you as you see fit.

>YOU are her passion
she isn't particularly interested in how many kilos of C4 I can deliver to a hajis kneecaps through remote detonation

Sure so she should find some hobbies.
School is pretty much a waste for both genders unless its stem
But its even more a waste if she's not going to have a career.
She can't have a career and be a good wife and mother.

So she has to choose.

The end.

checked, but also ok mike rowe.

Aspiring animator over here. Tell stories

This times fifty billion. Ether they are happy or they are not happy. Nothing if external will bring happiness unless it is YOUR happiness that makes her happy. If she hasn't found happiness at 20 she is going to be a miserable reminder of your stupidity at 30. Put 5 girls up on a line. The unhappy ones looking for "it" are to be avoided. The happy ones that like smiling at you and seem happy just be on a line are the ones worth your time. It's not complicated. Would you pick a dog as a pet that always is digging your yard, scratching to go out, wandering around and making trouble? Or a dog that likes to be near you, wag tail for you, happy to see you and wants to be by your side. Be smart. Are you smart? She wants the cock carousel. Let her go ride it. Find a happy line girl

>NOBODY DOES WHAT THEY LOVE.
I do what I love because I dreamt it one day and found out what I needed to do to be it. I want to pass this on to my kids and I don't want this girl I love so dearly to pass on her weak ambitions in life to them.

She can develop interest in SOME sort of skill or field that will facilitate her fulfillment in life, no?

What are the pros and cons of your job. In my uni coursework women outnumbered men. Do you think that is because women now gravitate toward institutional learning and that men would rather learn via freelancing and steering clear from institutions? Tell stories

I’ve been married to a useless nobody for 6 years. Take it from me. Dump her. You’ll be poor but still working your ass off the whole time while they stay home and watch Netflix. And they will still not see reason ever.

You need to put a baby in her. Nothing else will work.

See you know already she is looking for "her passion". The happy girl will want to know everything that happened to you, every thing you did when she was missing you, and all about YOU because she is always seeking YOU

>Find a happy line girl
She is everything you just described. I go to work 8 hours a day and she works at a grocery store. She doesn't want to work at a grocery store. She wants to do something too because she tells me I inspire her to follow her dreams.

Honestly dude, tell her to stop thinking about going to school to find a job, and start thinking about seeing a need in society and build a business around solving it.

fpbp

Environmental studies is a good field. She will still be sitting in front of a computer for 9 hours a day, but she can get into an engineering firm easily.

My brother in law gets to travel around promoting canadian oil to the UN and shit its a dope job but he's got a MBA which is the min you need to get something dope like that

OP I dunno what to tell you but good luck

/thread

>How can I convince her

you figure it out.

Ok good she is keeping busy. Good she Seems happy. But what is it making her want more. More than what she has now. She has you, job, place to live, happy times... still not enough? When would that be enough? When she has a better job, better haircut, better place to live, better whatever. She is playing hoops with you. Making you jump the higher hoops she is finding that will be "it". Be carefu. but if you really want her know there will always be more hoops.

Where mostly men work. Cock carousel entrance here

emus are the bulls of the world so no problem there were as you guys got beaten by a small gust of wind and fell over

she shouldn't bother with college at all.

stay at home mom is the only way to go, and any woman who has any desire apart from that isn't fit to be your wife. She can go ruin some other man's life.

she should spend the short amount of time she has left before becoming a mom learning how to cook, clean, keep house, please her husband, and so on, because once the kids arrive, there won't be time to learn that crap.

she will never have a "career' after being a mom because nobody hires 45 year old women into starting-career track roles, and your wife should never work under the authority of another man anyway.

I snatched my wife out of college her freshman year. she worked a few odd jobs for less than a year after we were married. then I told her I didn't want her working any more, and a few years after that, she was providing children.

we moved to a farm and now she homeschools the kids and makes most of the food from scratch. she's way busier and way happier.

it's great. before i met my wife, i dated a smart and capable feminist who wanted a career. that was stupid, it was frustrating, and that girl ended up as a stay at home mom anyway - with a "real" degree she doesn't use.

>it at least seemed like something she was passionate about
1. I saw a lot of wannabe animators while I was in school (I have a degree in 3D computer graphics and animation though I wound up writing code for a living). They all suck and none of them had the actual ability to do it for real. Even if they did manage to wangle a job at a studio for pay they would spend twelve hour days (bare minimum) sitting in an office chair and dying slowly while grinding out animations about stupid little bullshit cookie cutter pixar sequel 2927493475943
2. she's better off doing some hippie retard semi-science than wasting her life in an office chair (assuming she'd be lucky and talented enough to get a job as an animator in the first place)
3. obviously she's not passionate about it or she wouldn't have changed majors
4. the only thing that actually matters for job outcome is how much you like it-- because if you like it you'll do it and do it well rather than just fucking around. And that's just it: every animator I ever saw actually hated their job and the boring grind of it. They got into that major because they stupidly thought "hurr I get to make cool moviez n' stuffs!" without realizing how brutal that industry actually is.

>ditching her "dream" in animation
>degree in "Environmental studies"
sounds like she's stepping up, sorry she wont help you fulfill your dream of dating an "anime artist"

She's no artist anyway. She's an art student and her situation should come as no surprise

The dentist I go to is 1 male ortho and like a dozen young early/mid20s cute girls.

Anons keep saying all women are sluts, yet every mildly attractive girl I know is in health care

>Environmental studies
I knew a girl that took environment studies. She electrocutes fish for the MNR now (no joke; totes cereal). She does get free camping trips out of it, but it is still a job.

Hobbies can help develop skills.

Women looking to a job for fulfillment are just cool wine aunts in the making.

You have to show her what is good for her and what can be useful in the future. I will open my own coffee shop sooner or later and i sent my childs wife to classes in order to be a certified baker in the end of this year. This is interesting for her and will be useful for life later as well! Think smart, good luck bud.

As is your beautiful image. Lets hope this blog posting faggot has hiking boots

just dump her she's cheating on you anyway

Most whamen work in education,healthcare, or food service work. The rest in office jobs.

These are huge fields and her best options.

Push her to do some sort of healthcare. With an associates you can become a phlebotomist after a semester and paying $140 to take the national exam. Or finish your bachelors at community college with a BA in biology like my dumb as fuck friend from highschool who is now an X-ray tech now making ~60k.

>>>/3dcg/
Animation, whether for viewing or games, is a rough business. If you aren't in the top 5% that try it, you aren't going to make it. If you aren't in the top 1%, you're never going to work on big projects. If you freelance, you have to be very good with the money. If you work for a production house, you're a nobody until a big studio finds you. It's oversaturated with long hours, insane deadlines and insecure futures.
