Stuck between career choice

Currently stuck in whether to go for Digital Marketing or Truck Dispatching as a career. I was doing a course of digital marketing, learning facebook/Google ads, but after sometime heard about this new field i.e Truck Dispatching. People say one can earn pretty good in dispatching as a business, but I've also seen some negatives of it, like people(truck owners) complaining about dispatchers that they force them to take loads from them, whereas the truck owners can find the load from loadboards themselves, like they try to point that there's no need of dispatchers for truck owners. This thing's making me hesitant whether to opt for dispatching or digital marketing as a career.

Zero Lifestyle and their shaddy marketing

Hey, I've noticed that a lot of YouTubers, especially tech reviewers, are willing to sell out their viewers for a sponsorship or ad campaign.

For example, Zero Lifestyle's ad campaign. They make a lot of claims in their ads that aren't true. Like, they say their earbuds have ANC, but as far as I know, none of them do. And their products are actually pretty low-quality compared to other brands, but these tech YouTubers make them out to be the best thing since a 1947.

It's so obvious what's happening. A YouTuber gets a package from Zero Lifestyle, makes a video praising their products (even if they're pretty low quality), and then Zero Lifestyle runs an ad campaign on that YouTuber's channel or insta/Fb profile

Some youtubers are so clueless about technology that the best argument they can come up with in their videos is " Inka brand ambassador FAWAD KHAN hein"

This whole thing is a scam. Zero lifestyle is just an example. Our people don't know much about tech, and it's our responsibility to tell them what to expect. Most people are buying these for the first time and don't even know what good products feel like. I think I should start making reels and videos about these, but I'm camera shy. But someone should do it. Maybe I'll start in the end.

If you are one of those individuals who are uncertain about which product to purchase within your budget and what to expect from it, I am always available to assist you. Kindly respond here or send me a direct message. I will do my utmost to provide guidance.

Furthermore, I encourage those who are knowledgeable in this area to educate their friends and relatives.

Please know ur money's worth. And don't come in sugar coated ads of these people. Am truly disappointed by people like irfan junejo who's in most of these ads.

International scholarships

So I basically want to ask if it is that easy to get fully funded international scholarships, cause whenever me and my dad meet anyone and anyone at all, they talk about how their sons and daughters or niece's and nephews had gotten an international scholarship and now they're making amazing money, cause I always get lectured because of these people that why can't I do the same and why am I such a big disappointment( btw I'm not the brightest student in my class but top always in the top 20 of my college of 300 students) So I wanna know are these people capping or what, cause I tried applying for international undergrad scholarships for engineering and I found a tiny amount of them which also had some weird criteria and hidden terms. Also any suggestions on some scholarships and how to apply would be much appreciated And just for the record I'm an intermediate student with a middle class background

Opinion on Boycott

I will just make a couple points and leave it at that, I really don't care how controversial or shallow it may seem, if you read through the end, you'll see my point.

  1. Coke Studio, as far as I know, brings to light local artists, singers, and musicians. The directors are local, the producers are local, the music is local, the culture is local. Compare to the reason that the brand is being boycotted in the first place, which is that they opened a plant in one of the illegal settlements. How much of an impact does this really have on the occupying force's economy and its military? You boycott the main product the brand makes to voice your opinion, that's fine, but to trade that one factory for one of the only platforms that brings out Pakistan's talent and culture, which is already discouraged, to the forefront is mental.

  2. Boycott Coke, boycott Mcdonalds, boycott that beverage company, or that food company.

Sorry, but tell me why? More than half of the food and beverage companies on there are being targeted for operating a factory in an illegal settlement, or for their franchise handing out free burgers.

How much of an impact did any of these brands have on Pakistan's economy as a whole? Negligible, except that they provided jobs, a source of income for the ordinary people and made money for themselves. So, how much do you think they're having an impact on Israel's economy and its war machine?

  1. My point isn't that boycotting is bad, or wrong. You're just calling for boycotts of things which will not make any effect.

Intel, Windows, Dell, Siemens whose softwares, equipment, and chips power the Israeli war machine.

What about Fiverr and other such companies, which are Israeli owned companies and contribute directly to its economy.

Platforms like TripAdvisor, Booking.com, and Airbnb, which all function in Pakistan, and are actively providing reservations and places of stay in illegally occupied territories.

Engineering companies complicit in the illegal settlements by providing tailored machinery to the IDF. Their equipment and products are used by construction companies and operators in Pakistan.

Hell, even the United States, many people are so bent on exiting to the US and Europe, where their tax money will directly be given as aid to the occupier. Why does no one call for a boycott then?

Everyone is boycotting at convenience. Things for which alternatives exist is easy to boycott. But I am yet to find someone calling to boycott Windows or Intel, which is funny because its alternatives exist (AMD, Linux etc.), it's just that you have to put a little effort and learn a few things. So like I said, it's only boycott where it's convenient.

Was tired of the double standards which didn't ever make sense, and wanted to call all these boycotters out.

Edit: Keep downvoting, you know its true. The very computer you use, the very operating system you use, the very social media websites you use, the very platforms you use to generate money for yourself, contribute directly, and daily to not only the Israeli economy but to its very war machine, they literally power it up. What a food factory in an illegal settlement, or an outlet handing out 50 gram burgers does pales in comparison to all of this. You will continue to deny this truth because now your convenience is being exposed.

Requesting suggestions for additional income streams as a "junior " doctor

I am working two full-time jobs at present. I work as a medical officer in the morning and then as a gp at a small private clinic at night. Both jobs are about 8 hours, and I only have Sundays off.

Despite doing so for the past 1 and a half years, I have almost no savings as my cumulative income is less than 90k, and I have to support my parents and sibling.

I can't find an additional halal income stream. Everything I can find is interest based or sus af.

Do you all have any suggestions ?

What stock to buy in PSX

Hey can anyone who has expertise in investing in Pakistan stock exchange recommend a stock to buy. The stock market has been hitting all time highs recently based on expected economic reforms (PIA Sell-off, Bigger IMF Deal, Current Account Surplus expected)

I’m thinking a potential growth stock or a stock which can give dividends

Where can I buy something to help elderly get up from the toilet?

Getting up from the bed or chair is not a problem but since the toilet seat is a little low I need to know a way to get up on your own. Can I buy a product that can solve this issue?

As a man, how many matches do you get on dating/marriage apps?

Basically the question.

I used the apps for a little while and I got many. It was like a harem of women just waiting for my message. I distinctly remember so many matches going to waste because I was too lazy to reply.

How is it like for other men?

Despite our government, thanks to China & global supply chains my villagers will now have abundant energy during daytime.

Two of my lower middle class relatives installed 2KVA and 5KVA (my cousin does freelancing so $) solar systems today meaning after nearly 2 decades since load shedding started, they will for the first time now have uninterrupted and abundant carefree electricity during day time at least.

One will even buy an AC now while the other will have bill cut in half at least, and only for like 150k. At 46 rs per watt, they got like 2,000 watt panels in 100k and a desi inverter in 29k. 10-20k for logistics & installation which one of my cousins did himself.

This made me so happy as generators & expensive batteries were never affordable enough for them. And the latest pricing of electricity was literally pushing my villagers who had come out of poverty in the past decade, go back there because even a house without AC was getting 20k above bills.

If it wasn’t for the crazy Chinese mass manufacturing cheap solar panels, my relatives & villagers would have pretty much sold their fridges, water pumps and go back to energy poverty because the current prices of electricity are simply unaffordable for them BUT now they would not only have uninterrupted day time power meaning no more bijli chali gayi and getting the hand fan BUT it would be abundant because 2KVA is definitely a lot for a house without AC.

Like they would actually be turning on more fans, air coolers, using water pump more liberally and would have ice in their fridge.

Does anyone remember that tradition we had where once a year everyone would create "little villages" on their front lawns?

This was in Lahore for reference. Idk if other cities did it.

Growing up in the 90s I remember there was some kind of festival where most houses would create little villages on their front lawns. Some were really elaborate with rivers and water wheels. It stopped after the 2000s which is so sad because it was such a beautiful tradition and as a child, it was really whimsical to walk around and see all the mini worlds.

Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Do you know what it was called?

Wtf is wrong w Pakistan is general genuinely

this title is probably gonna piss a lot of people of and i simply don’t give a shit, first off, let’s talk about our people, we never get happy for anyone else we are simply the most degrading people on earth, look at our society, people just give up their happiness for “log kiya kahenge“, no one helps any one out at all. i could go all day long but let’s move on to education, no genuine like wtf is wrong with our education system, just look at our syllabus for FSC and Metric, full rata system, with no actually willingness for teaching, useless subjects creating extra stress, now just think about it, what’s the genuine use of Urdu and English in that much detail for medicine or engineering, no just think about it, what’s Urdu poetry gonna teach us, what’s a shitty English poem gonna do to us, most people fuck up their entire exams because of these shitty subject. gonna do part 2 of this rant.

No one talks about FM radio. Do people still listen to it?

Haven't heard anyone mention FM radio on this sub. No mention of radio stations, genre, DJs, etc. Do people still listen to it? I know there is a list of FM radio stations and you can stream them.

Does anyone know much about this hindutva troll?

All she does is repeat hindutva slogans like the Indians, I assume most if not all of her follower base is from there, why hasn't she been stopped or criticised? According to me she is defaming a country and a traitor and should be looked into.

Just go through her youtube account and you will, heck you can even see it on this image.
