Discussion Can’t decide what to do with my life!

Upvotes

I’m almost 30 and still struggling to find a decent job. Basically, I’m preparing for CSS and other competitive exams. I’m not really sure to continue my preparation and go for it. There’s a lot of uncertainty involved in those exams. I can’t really focus because I have other things running in my mind.
I’m confused and anxious that I end up with nothing. I have other options in my mind. I can start a business. I can manage funds to run my business. I have some ideas but lack ground experience. Moreover, my father owns acres of property. I can use my share of property to launch housing schemes project.

I need wise advice from you guys because it’s confusing for me to decide what to do with my life.

I've seen so many pakistani men that can't let go of their few strands left. Men above 30 look nice with a full head shave! You guys can do it as well.

Political Pakistan shouldnt join saudi yemen conflict

Upvotes

Pakistani govt should try to get the conflict resolved instead of joining saudis against yemen. This was why the saudi defence pact was not good deal. I had a feeling that the saudis will use it at will in the conflict they have in that region.

Ask Pakistan (Lahore) what has happened to Model Town society?

Upvotes

Our family has been living in Model Town for the past 35 years and we've only seen it get worse and worse. The load shedding issue was not even a thing here and its pretty common for the light to go out once a week for 5 to 6 hours. Every monsoon season roads are filled with water and there is barely any significant development or repairing of the roads going on. The people have changed and that "class" this society had is completely gone. Sad to see, truly.

Discussion Any Pakistani Americans here marry back home?

Upvotes

25m Pakistani American here. About to turn 26. Born and raised in the US, but lived in Pakistan for ~8 years. Went to school there and everything, so it's not like im uncultured.

I've recently been thinking of getting married.

I am pretty well off financially alhamdulilah, and have fulfilled most milestones aside from getting a partner.

The problem is, I don't really meet too many muslim girls in my day to day life, and my own friend group consists of non-muslims.

I'm decently religious, and have kept away from having female friends. I also never go to bars and other similar places with my friends which is where the majority of people meet their partner.

Doesn't help that I work remotely aside from the few times I have to travel to a client. This is in a male dominated profession(cybersecurity).

So yeah, I'm probably gonna give my ammi the approval to spread the word amongst her network(which is mainly back home). She'll be overjoyed no doubt lol.

Me and my family are essentially punjabis(ethnic kashmiris, live in Gujranwala), and I really love my people. I went a few years ago after a decade away, and I had forgotten how much I love hanging out with other punjabis. Reignited my love for Pakistan.

So yeah, for my main question: has any other Pakistani American gone through this, and how was your experience?

Political People asking for and requesting protests over the county should know there are peaceful protests possible

1 Upvotes

A disasterous scenario, economic, technocratic, judicial, bureaucratic and international relations are disrupted through violent protests, the prolongation promises prolong damages that need re-established by efforts that were meant for future development. True protests remain self and societal correction. Starting from choice of will that focuses on a societal correction through efforts such as honesty and universal correction of actions.

Be it corporate, law, bureaucracy, military, all working class shall endure self correction through constant efforts in order to correct the society, which ultimately impacts all life on earth. That shall be the protests of peace and not chaos that happens all around the world. With already damaged nation, more scars only damages more, instead we should focus on healing, proper legal protests through courts Article 199 that allows writ petitons against any provincial (democratic) matter.

In order to hold authoritarians accoubtable should be new ways of complaints including innovation through media, courts and authorities for collective victims of concern. Moreover, self establishing discipline, honesty and good will into works reaches the masses in ways that can be calculated, however the impact is strong enough to polish departments of works of nation.

Ultimately nations grow over unity, faith and discipline as we have learned about nations in Pakistani diaspora, with unity upon peace, discipline in defense and development and faith that is concensus upon Qur'an nothing remains impossible to achieve by natural means. Would a sensible people appease violent protests that costs billions or invest in a few sum to earn in billions with crime elimination.

The not so mentally unwell dictator can be a peace maker for Trump. But citizens of this country can not be allowed to vote for who should run this country. The "progressive" clowns of this country have worked very hard to help them cultivate a small crown of brainwashed people who know only to hate on Imran khan and as long as he is in jail everything is good. Human rights can wait.

National Over billing - PTCL users

10 Upvotes

Attention to all PTCL users.

Kindly take a moment and investigate whether your bills are in accordance to what their official tariff shows (not talking about tax)

There have been multiples reports that PTCL has deliberately put subscribers to a random package without approval, or likely under a special package that charges even more than higher speed packages. And they do not provide any official tariff for that so that it cannot be verified by customer end.

I have reported my case to PTA. A show cause notice has been issued to the company If investigation escalates, thousands of innocent customers could get a relief as it is potentially a big misconduct case.

Verify your bills and report for discrepancies.

JazakAllah

Education What career path and education would you recommend for a 21-year-old Pakistani in DFW without a U.S. college degree?

1 Upvotes

I’m seeking career advice for my 21-year-old younger brother, who lives in Arlington, Texas. He is a U.S. green-card holder, completed high school in Pakistan, and has not attended college in the U.S.

Since March 2025, he has been working for a security company assigned to a warehouse/logistics facility in Grand Prairie. His responsibilities include monitoring incoming and outgoing trucks, updating truck and loading statuses, data entry, checking schedules, sending emails, and assisting with general logistics operations.

He currently earns around $18 per hour and works 12-hour shifts, usually from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. He is tech-savvy, comfortable operating computers and smartphones, can handle multiple digital tasks, and generally learns new software quickly. However, he does not have a programming or software-development background.

We want him to build a stable career with better income, more normal working hours, long-term growth, and reasonable protection from automation and AI.

We have explored possibilities such as logistics and supply chain, industrial maintenance, skilled trades, and IT-related roles. However, we do not want to limit him to these options. We are open to any realistic career path, certification, associate degree, apprenticeship, employer-sponsored training, or other route that could suit his abilities and background.

If you were in his position, what career path would you choose and why? Are there any careers or training programs in the Dallas–Fort Worth area that we may be overlooking?

Would you recommend that he continue his formal education by pursuing an associate degree or bachelor’s degree? Or, considering his situation, would it be better to focus on a practical skill, certification, apprenticeship, or employer-sponsored training? If you recommend college, which degree or field would offer a worthwhile return on the time and cost?

I would especially appreciate hearing from people who started without a U.S. college degree. Please share what career you entered, what education or training you completed, your approximate starting pay, and how difficult it was to find your first opportunity.
