Academic Advisor

A faculty member of your university purportedly assigned to help students plan their course schedules to fit each student's degree and career plans but who are not required to know or provide accurate information regarding available courses, pre-requisites, required courses, course alternatives, etc. and often supply advice that ends up being detrimental to the student.

Side of "academic advising" include:

Taking one or more classes that are unnecessary and ending up taking 5 years to earn a 4 year degree.

Realizing 2 weeks before graduation that you could have graduated a semester early if it weren't for that "career exploration" class you took freshman year that your advisor recommended you take to "discover your calling" or "meet people in your major."

Realizing that those transfer credits actually could have transferred and you did not need to re-take that class.

My academic advisor said I had to take a full year of underwater basket weaving courses for my degree, turns out I don't and now I won't graduate this semester.

My advisor screwed me over, I'll never the mistake of taking his advice again.

financial advisor

A person, usually male, who lives in a really nice home, drives a really nice car, usually has a wife who doesn't work. All his possessions are due to the money he makes off of his clients when he buys and sells funds using their money. The advise he gives is to benefit himself and not you. Do yourself a favor and keep your money in the bank.

I used to have a small fortune in my port folio, then I took the advise of a financial advisor. Now he has half my money, and I don't have a pot to piss in.

Resident Advisor

An online dance music magazine which keeps society in check by reminding us that German minimal techno is the only type of music worth bothering with.

It has saved millions of lives by warning the population away from sophisticated music with actual melodic content.

Its main headquarters can be found in Berlin, due to the German capital being the only city in the world to have nightclubs.

Richie Hawtin can sometimes be seen around the building carrying a copy of Traktor, and being harrassed by literally thousands of worshippers who really know what is important when it comes to music.

Thank fuck for Resident Advisor - the ultimate be-all-and-end-all of dance music journalism.

Game Advisor

1. Spawning from the company known as Gamestop. One who knows nothing about games and/or gives bad advice on a subject that no one should need advising on in the first place.

2. One who would like to believe they are an expert on something no one cares about to start with.

3. In the case of a female being a game advisor, knowledge of games is not necessary. Young wapanese gamer nerds will salivate over the opportunity of having a conversation, albeit brief and awkward, with the somewhat okay looking girl behind the counter.

Many Gamestops stock their stores almost exclusively with female game advisors for this very reason.

4. One who knows not what they are doing.

The kawaii game advisor behind the counter at Gamestop looked at me! If I could only not be a baka get the courage to ask her out! We would get married and move to japan where she would make video games and I could be a great mangaka! X'D

Academic Advisor

Someone who has made a career out of misleading students and pushing the agenda of their academic institution, even when it goes against a student's own best interests; Someone who makes money providing university students with worse advice than their peer group could offer them.

"How did you even end up in that class as a freshman anyway? Most people don't even take it until their fourth semester in college!"
"My academic advisor said I'd be able to handle it... I guess I have to take it again next spring."
"I wouldn't even bother going to them, any idiot with the internet and Microsoft Excel could probably come up with a more well-reasoned course plan."
