About the advice at the end i'd like to remind people that apprenticeship is still a thing and not something relegated to the past or fantasy setting, if you don't know what to do after basic education the option to spend two (or three) years learning a job as an apprentice is there it's always better than to go to college and having no idea about what to do while getting in debt plus most of the jobs you can apprentice for are jobs in strong demand.

Sorry He-man, that doesn't work nowadays completely but used to work. If you have too many studies, you can get kicked from some "no experience" jobs because you're overqualified (I've been there) meanwhile you can't get the proper jobs you studied because they will ask only those with experience. University ends up being a scam due to this.

The best thing you can do, is have a big circle with contacts - that's what will secure you to land a job and then you can study something related to it. Do studies that require 2 years, not 4, those have internships and will put you already to work in a business for around 400h. After you do those, the business where you did the internship already has your number and know how you work because they're the ones that trained you - those WILL call you if they need to employ someone. Do you know what many business that do internship end up doing? They call the schools where they admit internships if the last intern didn't accept the job offern to see who else finished the course to give them a try. So make sure you're also in contact with said teachers at your school so they think of you first when they call.

Holy Shit, He-Man is extra deep this week.

But that's really good advice. Except for that dude in the corner...
No, it isn't. Whether you can continue your studies after your basic education does not only depend on your own wishes, because someone will likely have to support you throughout that time (like, you know, your parents), unless you're willing to go into serious debt. Pretending that their opinions and circumstances do not matter and should not figure in your decision-making is rather strange.

Having been on the hiring end of Once-bitten-twice-shy about this:
The issue with being over qualified is you need to really sell why you are taking the job you are underqualifed for and won't just jump ship when the job market improves, or at just trying to toe-in at a company with a hope for internal promotion. Which is fine for entry-level jobs but less good for career track positions.

When I started at a job, I was a back fill for a person who did exactly this. It was at a college and the spouse of a professor was hired despite being way over qualified because the assumption was they'd be there as long as their spouse was. Instead he peaced out after 6 months and they had to scramble to reopen the position.
I took that learning with me to future positions.

The other thing you have to deal with especially the over educated was elitism. Another job we had a guy come in with a very impressive resume; he had a masters for a bachelors job and we got the impression he was doing the toe-in for promotion to manager, but we were on track to needing new managers so that was OK. We brought him in for a face-to-face but he completely failed the culture fit because he very clearly felt he knew better than anyone (he also was extremely finicky with detailed instructions for an order at PF Chengs; we all talked afterwards and a few people flipped their "maybes" to "nos" and all the "yeses" flipped to "weak maybes" when he pulled the waitress aside for a 5 minute interrogation about substitutions and prep. ITS PF CHENGS.)

OTOH, at that college job we did have a guy who was overeducated for the position but did a extremely solid job of explaining why he was interested in the position (job market sucked, he needed to eat) but also why he was likely to be a long-term hire (he recently bought a home in the area, his children had recently started school, he wanted the free tuition for his children) and he was hired.

The other job seeker tips I have is:
You don't have to list everything on your resume. If you think having a masters will hurt you getting an entry level job, just leave it off. Unless a position wants degrees of a certain newness, don't list dates. Only list dates when things were earned, not start dates (unless you did some shit like completed a 4 year program in 2 years and want to impress).
You don't have to list every single job you've ever had. If you are going for an office job post college, your McDonalds burger flipping during the summer in highschool isn't going to be a leg up. Summarize that.

And for the love of god, don't just be a professional student. Get some sort of job while you are in school even if its just a student job at the college. Get something that bare minimum shows you possess the ability to show up to shifts on time and interact with other humans in a professional manner. You would be shocked at the number of people working jobs -even ones that aren't entry level - who do not meet this bar.

Do y'all read this because the story is good or because you have seen the 18+ version?
I read because Mochizuki is best yandere.

I'm mostly curious as to what the endgame is and if things will stay platonic between the MC and his step-sis.
Excuse me. I believe you mean Platonic between MC, his step-sis, AND MOCHIZUKI.

Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?
