Welcome back to Help Wanted, it’s a thing I’d like to do once a month. Past Help Wanted answers have solved The Cuban Missile Crisis, but could not stop the powers that be from spelling Missile with a second ‘i’. 

It isn’t necessary. It could just be missle and everyone would be fine and we’d save so much paper but look, my job is not to make the hard decisions, but rather simply to provide my council for them.

Want advice? Your question/conundrum/pickle can be SS (super serious) or DAAD (dumb as a doorknob) or anywhere in between. I’ll fucking answer them all I don’t even care. Except I do care so much and that is why I’ll answer em.

Submit your questions to botharetrue@substack.com.

Did you know Both Are True now has a real deal big boy paid offering? I published my most vulnerable essay of ever on there called Beautiful Disasters and also my tell-all guide of everything I've learned on the road to 3211 free subs / 111 paid subs, so if you wanna see those you can become a paid lil guy! No worries if not !!

Yes I wanna see behind the paywall!

Q: So last semester I decided that I was no longer happy with my major and want to change things up a bit.

I took a bunch of different classes hoping that something might stand out to me but so far it’s only made things more difficult. I want to know if you have any advice on how to figure out what I want to do with my life? Or even just how to narrow it down to maybe a few things I can look into?
