Welcome to the worthless degrees club =D
I have a history major. I currently work in the engineering field after going to technical school for about eight months.
There are plenty to do out there if you look. Just have to hope that the field you choose is to your liking.
Definitely a road that I could go down but at the moment I am just fed up with studying and not making enough money to fully support myself. Also I just can’t see how that helps to set me up for my professional end goal.
So I have been absent for a few days because I have been in Vienna, exploring probably the greatest gym there is - Das Gym, Intelligent Strength. I was there with my gf and Wayne and we stayed in the bicep pension (the gym’s hotel room). That place is something else. Like you can see in every little detail how much love, passion and thought went into it. Those two brothers created a living dream. This is a lot more than a gym. It was a special experience for me and it motivates me to work harder on my own goals - professional and sport.
I can throw up pictures if you all are interested. Will definitely post lifting videos once I have them all collected.

Some more lifting clips of my training in Vienna. Included are push presses, circus db, belt squats prowler hell, husafel stone carry:
Picture spam!! Just to give you an idea of how the main area looked like. Yes, the bar stool is made from real Eleiko plates. Yes, there is a professional posing room, with com scale, measuring tape, mirror and even a thing to hold you phone so you can take selfies. There is so much more… One needs to experience it.
This visit motivated me to work a lot harder on my own goals! Also all the people there were super nice btw.!
That is the sexiest gym I’ve ever seen
Can’t imagine a sexier one exists. They made something special there. Will definitely go back at some point.
Jesus, that sled drag looked humbling… Props for keeping on going! Also, that gym is amazing! Definitely one-of-a-kind.
Thanks man! To be honest, I couldn’t stand up for 10 minutes and my head was spinning.
