Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If you're doing college at 30 you're probably not stupid, stupid people wouldn't do school at all when afforded the chance to. Unless they already have a position in the industry they wanted to and a degree wouldnt help advance their career enough to warrant the time and money spent
30 is young, you still have at least a good 10-20 years of enjoying your life ahead of you right
Also idk about in the US but in a large part of Europe you get paid to do a graduate degree (or at least a PhD), and the courses are often in English, if you want to you should totally look at Germany or Slovakia/Czechia or Norway/Finland (although I think Norway recently made tuition no longer free for foreigners), or even Panama or Brazil, you can get free college and cheap housing (well, not in Scandinavia, but the rest of the countries). You should be able to get in depending on the major's demand, and they're very nice countries to exist in other than Brazil... although Eastern Europe would probably be a massive culture shock, a lot are pretty "blunt" or "dark" in their mannerisms I guess.
I'm my mother's primary care giver, so unless they'll let me bring her along, it probably wouldn't work out. Haha. But if we found an option that allowed for it, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. Haha
Fuck, you mean life will stop being enjoyable for me in four years?
