Although I've always considered myself somewhat misanthropic, I've been finding more and more that I'm stimulated by higher-level or professional interaction with others. What professions might give that stimulus, that aren't predominately negative (i.e. inbound customer service calls, police work, or criminal defense lawyering)?

I rekindled an old romance about nine months ago; at that point, he and I were both unemployed but collecting unemployment compensation. Since then, I've found a great job and have been moving forward; he's been forced to give up his apartment and can't pay child support to his ex-wife. Meanwhile, he's been hitting me up for money frequently - I love him, but am wondering how to address my concerns with him properly. [more inside]

Relationshipfilter: When we're together, I couldn't be more happy. When the inevitable breakups come, I feel so empty and no amount of time makes me feel as whole as when I'm with him. I know it won't last, but I'd take the pain of him leaving again just to have a couple months of happiness. Advice? [more inside]

So my wonderful study abroad trip has ended and I returned back home earlier this week. My trip had its highs and lows, but overall I would not trade it for anything. I have grown in many ways and have become more confident in myself. I have met so many people and got a small taste of the world by traveling to a few other countries in Europe. I am more motivated than I ever have been to finish school, search for a job and hopefully move back abroad after finishing. [more inside]

I met a new 'friend' (acquaintance) on a course I took recently. He sort-of invited himself to come and stay with me for a week in Paris. I figured that he was mostly coming to see Paris but also to hang out with me, but he's made himself completely scarce since arriving and I'm not sure how to deal. [more inside]
