So my mom and my brother have been living in the same apartment together for almost 25 years. My mom just recently (5/16/24) passed away from cancer. I had asked the leasing company if we could get my brother's name on the lease, and they said, sure, no problem. The new lease was to be sent in June. My mom died two weeks too early and we never got the new lease. Instead, I got an email with their 40-day vacate notice and her apartment is already up on the website to be available in July.
We have not even had my mother's services and is this how they're treating 25-year tenants. I'm sick about it it. My other brother was going to move in to help the brother who currently lives there pay the rent. At the end of the day, my brother is a middle school custodian but does not make enough money to support himself.
I'm upset they didn't reach out to me first to figure out an agreement, I'm upset that there are no places where he can move and I'm wondering if even if he wasn't on the lease, but he lived there for 25 years, does he have any rights to this place?

2024.05.21 09:41 Disastrous_Panda313 Suspect NP is working independently in a reduced practice state
Throwaway to maintain privacy.
I'm a parent of a teen who saw an NP via telehealth. I can't even bring myself to talk about the experience. Teen was misdiagnosed by NP with depression and prescribed fluoxetine. Was on it for 6 months, completely stopped growing. My discomfort with the NPs quickness to diagnose after 10 minutes of chatting (and ignoring my observations as a parent) grew and I ended up learning a lot about NPs. I did not know at the time that they have limited training. This particular one went to a well-known diploma mill school. I feel a TON of guilt for how this went and should have had the teen see a doctor. I didn't know. I know now.
The issue now is that I suspect this NP is practicing solo. They have a website. They are the only staff member on the website. There is no mention of a supervising MD. None at all. The office manager using the same email as the NP. Office manager says there is no office so they don't have in person appointments. NPs website gives an address.
The NP does not offer in person appointments at all. They are all online. The photograph of the NP does not look like the person we had an appointment with. There are other dubious elements of this story, but they might be too specific for me to mention here while trying to maintain privacy.
A lot of this practitioner's early reviews are from people on a different continent.
I don't know what, if anything, I should do about this. We are no longer seeing this NP. Am I being overly paranoid? Something feels really off about this, and many reviews call this NP a "wonderful doctor." NP responds to reviews but never correccts the ones that call them "Dr."

2024.05.21 09:15 lilstinkyflower old friends want to get back in contact, i dont. what do i do?
i was part of a friend group in highscool that i no longer want to associate with but they keep trying to contact me. once the pandemic happened, i pretty much stopped going to in-person school altogether and didnt hang out with them that much. to make a long story short, over the years they got in to tons of trouble fighting people and getting warrents, etc. im not cool with that. yeah i had fun joking around with them but they were never actually violent around me, and now seeing that, i just dont want to be around them at all. not to mention, some of these people in the group were pretty mean to me. one would make fun of my body shape and told me to my face that none of our other friends care about my current relationship. and another in the group that i felt very close to started trying to argue with me via text about something i wasnt even involved in so instead of arguing with them i blocked them. this was all years ago and now theyre trying to get in contact with me again and they want me to unblock that one person. its giving me some much anxiety because even though i have been pretty much friendless over these years, my life has been VERY peaceful. and im not ready to bring in these types of friendships. i dont want to let myself get pushed around again and i really dont think these people have changed. im scared to just block all of them because they know where i live and im so scared they would like confront me or something (this is probably paranoia, but knowing the things they have done to people and the way they act, i wouldnt put it past them fr.) also i want to include these people pushed me around the entire time i was friends with them. we have good memories, but overall they treated me like garbage and i was never cared about. they dont understand things they put me through and if i even attempted to talk with them about it they would definitely take it as an attack. all i want is peace and this situation is very stressful and i have no clue what the best decision is. any advice on how i can handle this is greatly appreciated.

2024.05.21 09:13 forevaalonee I dislike reddit
I feel like it's very useful but at the same time my mental health worsens 100x.
I found out about it in 2019 and I was on the social skills subreddit and someone was describing some experiences I related to and someone commented that he should get tested for Asperger's. This is how I found out I have it. I am going through a tough time emotionally and economically, many subreddits have helped me but it is tiring for me to constantly get people to be mean to me especially the moment I say I have autism and to downvote my comments if I do the slightest communication mistake and for not being able to realize basic things sometimes. I am too afraid of comfortation due to bullying so I never talked badly towards any user and also never mentioned anything about politics.
My own family never liked me and I was bullied all of my school years by classmates and teachers, my bullies bully me on social media too until last year even though I graduated school 6 years ago. It is just too harsh for me when I come over this place and it's full of hate too. I currently use subreddits that are for financial issues and they have helped me a lot but the hate I recieve is too much. Not sure what other forum or websites I can use.

2024.05.21 08:44 EntrepreneurDizzy640 My girlfriend 22F broke up with me 22M and she and I still see each other. What should I do?
Me 22M and my girlfriend or ex girlfriend 22F we together for 6 months but have been broken up for a month now, but she and I still see each other no matter how many times I try to ignore her. The reason she broke up with me was because she doesn’t believe that I never had a romantic interest or had a relationship with my girl family friend. My family friend and I had photos in my phone of our memories hanging out, nothing weird. I have been asked by her multiple times if I did like her, and I keep saying no. I’ve told her everything about my relationship with my family friend, but she said something like all she needed was honesty and transparency and that I’m not giving that to her. I then showed her my phone and she looked through the past messages I’ve had with a friend of mine who happens to be involved with the situation and my girlfriend then sees a message of my friend asking if I liked my family friend and me saying that I really do like her, but not in a romantic way. I guess that’s what validated her assumption about the situation about me and my family friend. She then said that she’s been lied to by a lot of guys and knows when someone is lying to her, that is when she broke things off with me.
A week or so goes by and she then checks up on me, then later on would start seeing each other again, with no labels. Then whenever I would talk about getting back together and wanting to work things out, she still thinks that I’m a liar and won’t work things out which caused us to take some space from each other again, and then the same thing happens. This time the issue was about the girls on my instagram following. She made me show her my following and then tells me to unblock the girls that I’ve talked to before, which I have ever since I got in to the relationship with her. She then met someone i knew back in high school that I used to talk to, with no relationship interest, then the next day she asks me if I still talk to any of the girls I used to like or talked to and I said no. She then showed me a screenshot of a comment I had on my high school friend’s post from 4 years ago and she thinks I used to talk to her. I then asked her if my friend ever told her that I liked her or pursued her, she said nothing and wanted to end the call because she was upset about it. I kept my distance from her because I said take her time and talk to me whenever she’s ready. She would then reach out to me to see me but never in the talks of working things out, only to just spend time and hangout. Another issue happens again which caused me to take some time from her because I felt like it was becoming a cycle, and also made me want to stop fighting for the relationship to get back to normal, she said that we can’t get back what we had. As much as want to keep fighting for the relationship, I just felt like I wasn’t being heard and felt like every question she asks me, she wants to hear something right, right that validated her assumptions.
I tried to keep my distance from her by spending more time with my friends because I was really hurt from the situation when she broke up with me and felt like I was in an emotional roller coaster. I know everybody makes mistakes but to her, everything I do seems to be bad… But then few days later she would check up on me again, then spend time with each other, cuddling and everything, like everything was ok. But now I just feel like it’s gonna be the same thing again and I don’t know what to do about it.
She’s been cheated on in the past and have told me before that she had some jealousy from her past relationship and also told me that she was a pretty controlling. I didn’t mind it before because I feel like she might have changed now. But now I feel like everything she has done with her ex has now been projected to me. Earlier times in our relationship, whenever she and I had those issues and would take time apart, she would apologize to me few days after saying that she’s sorry for treating me bad and felt that she should’ve not projected things to me from her past that I had no relations to. And I also find it unfair on why she was focused on my past and not the present, when she was the only person in my life, my only priority.
I tried to have a serious talk about getting back but she said that she’s scared that I might eventually hurt her. Why would she be worried of the worst outcome about what could happen when she and I could be focusing on what we want to happen?
I love this girl and all, but I just don’t know what to do about this. I feel like I’m stuck on a relationship that’s not a relationship. I’ve been looking up a lot these attachment styles and many months ago, she took a quiz and says that she was a fearful avoidant, and I’ve been looking up what a person with narcissist tendencies does, but I don’t want to assume the worst about it because I’m just simply trying to understand where she is at with this type of relationship she and I has. I just really don’t know what to do now at this point and I could use some help because I’ve been sad and angry about the situation I’m in. Thank you for reading this.
What do you think I could do with this situation? What could be the cause of this happening to her and me? Should I let her go?

2024.05.21 08:31 madst1nk Need help with choosing my major
I’m a middle eastern student studying foundation and planning to major in Data Science. I’ve asked students around and I’ve only found one friend who’s planning on majoring in Data Science. I asked about the major and most of the student have been telling me it’s really hard and not easy to take. I’m not really sure whether I should take it or switch to either Economics or Political and Social Science (both Bachelor of Arts). My scholarship asked me to choose between these three options, and I’m really not sure what to do. I also saw an option on the unimelb website that I can take data science in bachelor of design but I’m not entirely sure whether the scholarship will accept it or not.
Also I’ve been thinking of switching to Monash and take Data science there but I don’t there’s much of a difference so I was thinking of sticking to unimelb and take a bachelor of art in on of the two majors (economics or political science) instead of a degree from Monash since they value the ranking so much.
I wanted to ask around and have an idea about the majors and what should I do. My job/scholarship are seeking one of these three so I’m looking for the easy way around but at the same time if I majored in political and social sciences or economics would I benefit a lot from it if I wanted to look for another job?
Also I’m studying abroad not for education purposes only but have some friends from my country and make connections. I don’t mean having friends only for benefit but how it works in my country is mostly knowing people in most important companies just as most countries do. I’m not trying to stay for the rest of my education years studying only but have fun and look out for new business opportunities. I want to have experiences in every aspect and bring back a business that will benefit me aside from my job.
P.S. I was the top student in my school and got the best grades specially in science subjects and I took a 1.5 gap year from school. When I came had my foundation everything is entirely different and very hard for me and I really don’t know why. I love science majors (specially math and physics) but being at this level in foundation, I won’t stand a chance in uni.
I really need some help/advice and I’m really not sure what to do thank you all!

2024.05.21 07:50 Inevitable_Age418 I made a mistake
I made a really big mistake and now my friends are mad at me and i feel horrible. I'll start from the beginning. So a little bit ago I was struggling severely with my mental health and still am just not as much as before. I had to drop out off school and now I'm homeschooled. I also cut off all my friends and people from school because i thought that was the best thing I could do at that time. I also was in therapy that wasn't working. Fast forward to now. I'm a people pleaser I guess you could say and that's what started everything. I eventually started talking to my friends again and everything was cool. Until they both called me in our group chat and started arguing with me and calling me a liar. I was hurt but deep down I knew they were right because almost everything they said was true.
They were saying how when one of the speaks to me about the other how I agree with what they say just to avoid conflict and how everytime I say something different depending who I talk to. They also said how I lie and make up stuff that my one friend said. Which I didn't agree with that part but it's wtv. Anyways they were both calling me a liar and saying how I need to be more honest and if I have a problem then to just speak with them about it next time. Which I will admit I do agree with people to please them I'm a push over. But I also kinda feel like they were both attacking me when they both were also talking behind eachothers back but I didn't say that. I also tried apologizing to then and saying sorry for lying to them even though I really never meant to or thought I was. Then my one friend was saying how I never explained what happend when I blocked her and didn't give her an explanation and how I can't just suddenly unblock her and start talking with out giving her an explanation but i told my other friend and not her.
(To clarify my other friend just showed up to my house unannounced so i kinda was forced to say everything by my mom and thats how we made up.)I said I wasn't comfortable with talking about it cause it was a very bad part of my life I wanna forget. But she said I can't just be friends again when it's convenient for me and i apolozged to her again and explained I wasn't comfortable. So after that cause that's all I remember I apologized for the last time about the lieing, people pleasing, and talking behind eachothers backs they were still made and said that's not what we want u to apologize for and just said it's whatever and hung up. Now they arent really talking to me and i feel like it would be awkard to try to hang out when they are both still mad at me. But I don't know what to do or how to fix it. I always avoid my problems and I'm already getting the urge to just block them because I don't know what else to do, but I know that'll be even worse cause there my bestfriends i just hate when we get into fights. Besides saying sorry I don't think there's anyway to fix this. Thank you to whoever read this long. Any advice on how to make up with them or what to do would be nice or any opinions.

2024.05.21 06:29 wastelandcouture Hallucinations of corpses
I'm not sure if this is a good place to talk about something like this but I will give it a shot.. I also don't use this website very much so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong. I just wanted to talk about something non-urgent. The title I put says 'hallucinations' because I want to ask about some I've been having. I'm just wondering what they could mean. I'm not looking to be diagnosed! I see dead bodies in the dark and I hear breathing a lot. When I was a kid, maybe 11 or something, I used to see bodies hanging from the ceiling at school, and I did not recognize any of them. I would hear people saying my name over and over, like they were trying to get my attention but I knew no one was around. Now, whenever I leave my bedroom at night, to go to the bathroom or the kitchen, I see a woman standing, but I know she is dead, because her face is all smushed up, and parts of her limbs are cut off, and she just looks propped up. She flickers around in my peripherals and I don't see her in colour. When I see her, I want to run away but I'm afraid she will follow me, so I try to be calm. It's not really scary anymore, because it happens so much. I only finally realized how strange it was when I tried to step out of my room one night, only to slam the door shut and say out loud to myself, "Nope. Dead bodies outside." I've had some intrusive thoughts about these things as well. I used to get scared that there would be a dead body in my bed so I would sleep on the couch. I would see myself dead a lot, but I'm not suicidal. I have never seen a dead body in person. I've never even been to a funeral. I've seen gore and autopsy pictures online and sometimes it left me a little shocked or uncomfortable, so maybe that's why this happens. I used to want to be a mortician but now, I'm afraid that would make things worse for me. But other than all that, it doesn't interfere with my social life, school, or ability to feed, clean, and rest myself.. I would just like some advice or thoughts from anyone who may see this 🙂

2024.05.21 05:52 raider1211 I’d appreciate some feedback on my application essay
Basically the title. Please provide constructive criticisms and keep in mind that I’ve never written an application essay like this before. The essay is as follows:
I’d like to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer because I want to contribute to making a lasting, meaningful impact on the world. I’ve been struggling for quite awhile now in looking for a job post-graduation, and the biggest reason for that is most jobs I see available are those in which the only reward is a paycheck. I don’t want to just work a 9-5 as a cog in the wheel; rather, I want to feel like what I’m doing matters, and working as a Peace Corps volunteer to uplift the lives of everyone I’m serving would provide a sense of fulfillment and purpose which would be lacking in most other opportunities available to me. I’ve considered getting into teaching high school social studies for some time now because that would also provide me with a sense of fulfillment in teaching kids how to better engage with information and help them to succeed both in the classroom and beyond. The specific position I selected to apply to (teaching English to people in Ecuador) wouldn’t be quite the same as that, but it would allow me to help them broaden their horizons and chances for success through speaking a second language that is widely used throughout the world. I also would like to expand my own horizons by learning about other cultures and meeting new people so as to better myself as a person, and working for the Peace Corps would be a great way to do that. Regarding overcoming the various challenges I would face as a Peace Corps volunteer (of which I’m sure that there are many), I feel equipped to deal with many of them. The most obvious challenge to me is that I will be living in a culture largely different from my own with people that I don’t know, and as such, I can imagine experiencing culture shock. To deal with that, I will attempt to view the opportunity as a learning experience in which I can learn more about the people that I’m living with as well as share my own experiences with them in a symbiotic way. I will also attempt to engage in plenty of activities with the local people. For example, I grew up playing soccer from 6th grade to 12th grade and played for a couple of seasons in an intramural league at my university, and since the Peace Corps website states that the people of Ecuador enjoy soccer, I can try to bond with them over a shared love of soccer. In essence, I will look to bond over the things which makes us similar while trying to appreciate those things that make us different. Another challenge that comes to mind is adapting to a new climate which is very different from where I live. To deal with this, I will pack a variety of clothing to be prepared for a number of weather conditions and use the tools and information provided by the Peace Corps to ensure my health and safety. This also extends to things beyond the weather, such as disease, injury, crime, etc. As far as intellectual challenges go (perhaps pertaining to teaching English, preparing lessons, etc.), I feel confident in my ability to cater to the needs of those I’m working with, as I have experience tutoring children in math as well as a philosophy degree which has bettered my critical thinking skills and ability to engage with many ideas.

2024.05.21 05:21 Inevitable_Age418 I made a mistake and now my friends are mad.
I made a really big mistake and now my friends are mad at me and i feel horrible. I'll start from the beginning. So a little bit ago I was struggling severely with my mental health and still am just not as much as before. I had to drop out off school and now I'm homeschooled. I also cut off all my friends and people from school because i thought that was the best thing I could do at that time. I also was in therapy that wasn't working. Fast forward to now. I'm a people pleaser I guess you could say and that's what started everything. I eventually started talking to my friends again and everything was cool. Until they both called me in our group chat and started arguing with me and calling me a liar. I was hurt but deep down I knew they were right because almost everything they said was true.
They were saying how when one of the speaks to me about the other how I agree with what they say just to avoid conflict and how everytime I say something different depending who I talk to. They also said how I lie and make up stuff that my one friend said. Which I didn't agree with that part but it's wtv. Anyways they were both calling me a liar and saying how I need to be more honest and if I have a problem then to just speak with them about it next time. Which I will admit I do agree with people to please them I'm a push over. But I also kinda feel like they were both attacking me when they both were also talking behind eachothers back but I didn't say that. I also tried apologizing to then and saying sorry for lying to them even though I really never meant to or thought I was. Then my one friend was saying how I never explained what happend when I blocked her and didn't give her an explanation and how I can't just suddenly unblock her and start talking with out giving her an explanation but i told my other friend and not her.
(To clarify my other friend just showed up to my house unannounced so i kinda was forced to say everything by my mom and thats how we made up.)I said I wasn't comfortable with talking about it cause it was a very bad part of my life I wanna forget. But she said I can't just be friends again when it's convenient for me and i apolozged to her again and explained I wasn't comfortable. So after that cause that's all I remember I apologized for the last time about the lieing, people pleasing, and talking behind eachothers backs they were still made and said that's not what we want u to apologize for and just said it's whatever and hung up. I started crying when I processed what just happen. Now they arent really talking to me and i feel like it would be awkward to try to hang out when they are both still mad at me. But I don't know what to do or how to fix it. I always avoid my problems and I'm already getting the urge to just block them because I don't know what else to do, but I know that'll be even worse cause there my bestfriends i just hate when we get into fights. Besides saying sorry I don't think there's anyway to fix this. Thank you to whoever read this long. Any advice on how to make up with them or what to do would be nice or any opinions.

2024.05.21 03:34 Beneficial_Career_85 Advice for Applying to Engineering Universities in English
Hey everyone,
Quick update on my situation. I'm a dual US-Irish citizen who completed about 3 semesters of electromechanical engineering in the US but didn't enjoy it. I'm keen on a change and considering Finnish universities offering bachelor's programs in English. However, the acceptance rates for traditional universities are low (around 20% or less), while "Universities of Applied Sciences" have higher acceptance rates. Despite this, I've been advised against the latter.
My GPA is 3.0/4.0, which was better in high school. I'm not great at tests, but I've had leadership roles in summer jobs, making my resume relatively strong for my age. I'm wondering how this translates to university applications and if I should target the listed universities or reconsider my options.
I'm also confused about whether I'm considered an "international student" since I'm technically an EU citizen (Ireland), even though I've never been to Europe. From what I understand, my fees should be waived, right?
I'm taking a break until September 2025, working in IT and website development. Also, how respected are degrees from the Universities of Applied Sciences? Is it possible to pursue a master's from a traditional university afterward? Any advice on boosting my chances?
The universities I found and their reported acceptance rates are:
Kiitos!

2024.05.21 03:21 PossibilityNew2204 I'm giving my mom one more chance
I'll start this off saying I love my mom dearly. She has a lot of trauma and mental health issues that make her the way she is, but I need to take care of myself. I am 22 and living with my mom so I can get through school. We have always lived well below the poverty line, so living at home while I complete my degree just seemed like the cheaper option. I rely heavily on financial aid for my schooling. I am very greatful that I have only had to take out a single $5k loan for my schooling so far. I should be graduating next year, and while it's been hard working 2 jobs while in school, the end is in sight. At least that's what I thought. My mom has a job but only works about 8-10 hours a week, so while I'm at work and school she took care of managing our finances and making sure rent got paid etc. Sometimes she gets things done very last minute because of her mental health, and I try to be understanding of that. There was some things she had to do so I could get awarded my FAFSA money, and I just found out today that she hasn't done them. The information is due tomorrow, and the FAFSA website is under maintenance until the weekend. We got into an argument and I made it clear that I am incredibly upset that she left this until the last minute like many other things. She said that she is going to call them tomorrow while I'm at work, but I don't know if I can trust her to get it done. If this whole thing ends up going bad and I have to drop out of school, I will be getting ready to move out once our lease is up. In the background of all this happening, I found out last month that my credit card (that she was using to manage our finances) is maxed out and collecting interest. She also hasn't been making payments to my loan for me either. She said that the credit card should not be maxed out, and that she needed to call them (which she hasn't done yet obviously). I thought I could trust her, but she also has let the rent go late multiple times. I'm tired, and if I'm going to have to work two jobs, I want to be able to manage my own money. She said that when I'm out of college and have a good job, she will teach me how to handle my finances. This seemed like a good idea at first because she worked in finance before becoming a stay at home mother, and then a single mother. But recently it doesn't seem like she's responsible at all. If I leave, it will feel like I'm abandoning her but living like this sucks. To add more fuel to the fire, she is somewhat of a hoarder (due to trauma). When she's not working, she's mostly sleeping. Sometimes she does household chores, but not enough to keep a nice livable apartment. I work every day of the week, sometimes both jobs in one day, and I'm just too tired to try and catch up on stuff. At this point I wouldn't even be that upset if I had to drop out of school because then I might be able to hide away some money, but my own car, and leave. Things have been so rough for us these past few years, I want to be able to help her through but I also know that if I stay I will suffer the most. I haven't even started my life yet. I have no friends or family to go to for support and I even have a dog and a cat I need to consider if and when I leave. If I do get to graduate college, I plan on moving out of my home state once my lease is up. My mom wants to move too, and she will be more than welcome to come with me, but I just don't think she can get her shit together. I don't think she will get rid of her hoarded possessions, even though she says she will. I already have to keep her stuff in my room, it is not moving across the country with me. I don't know if anyone is still reading this. It's late and I'm just crying word-vomit. If you are reading this and have any suggestions or support or have been in similar situations, let me know. I'm so tired.

2024.05.21 02:55 Historical_Rock_6516 Feeling burn out at my current job as a grocery clerk of 25 years and need a change
I've been with my current company for 25 years stocking groceries and have no desire to move up. Been thinking about getting into the IT industry so I could have a more tech focus job which would be less physical as I age.
I never finished college, but while I was in school I did the internet technologies track at my local community college which consisted of web development classes which were php, C#, html, css, and even had a summer class that had 6 of us which we build a tourist like website which I passed the instructors checklist and passed the class. That class was the last of the tech classes I just didn't have the general ed stuff done. As far as gen ed classes I did get an A in college algebra and didn't find the final exam that challenging, I just had a really good teacher :)
Also took classes like introduction to networking and database fundamentals. Out of all my tech classes I seem to have enjoyed database fundamentals the most and wondering if maybe I could look into that?
I have not messed with any of the stuff I learned in school which was around 6 years ago when I went, but really don't want to be stuck stocking groceries the rest of my life.
Any ideas on how I should go about changing careers from retail to IT?

Also took classes like introduction to networking and database fundamentals. Out of all my tech classes I seem to have enjoyed database fundamentals the most and wondering if maybe I could look into that?
I have not messed with any of the stuff I learned in school which was around 6 years ago when I went, but really don't want to be stuck stocking groceries the rest of my life.
Any ideas on how I should go about changing careers from retail to IT?
2024.05.21 02:25 Odd_Captain_5719 Dead ends when job hunting
I've been job hunting ever since I graduated highschool in 2022, all I've ever managed to land are two jobs total. Both in food service, cashiering. I only worked the first job 3-4 months due to a personal dispute. And I'm at my wits end at my current job mentally and emotionally.
Job searching has been actual hell and my family talks like I'm not even fucking applying anywhere. I know it's a small number but I had roughly 40 applications if not MORE that I applied both through apps and through the establishments' websites.
I've applied, and refined my resume, applied some more, Sisyphus levels of madness no matter how hard I try.
I want to get the hell out of food service before I go insane, I desperately want to work at like...a pet supplies store or a flower shop. But my area shows virtually none with a reasonable commute distance given my current circumstances.
I don't think going back to school for a college diploma is in the cards for me mentally or financially right now, or else I would've mentioned seeking higher education.
I'm so tired of the American job market and I refuse to set aside my morals for a job.

2024.05.21 02:18 Worst_Artist The Best SEO Plumber Guide From an Industry Expert
 | https://preview.redd.it/14fax0379o1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b6ca3fdd40489292ac13df11619863b6f9d4696 submitted by Worst_Artist to PlumberSEO [link] [comments] Every month “plumbers near me” is searched up to 850,000 times globally. To thrive, your plumbing business needs to be visible where most potential customers are searching, Google. This guide will provide you with top Plumber SEO tips to enhance your plumbing business’s online visibility. First, what is Plumber SEO? Plumber SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of affecting local search engine rankings for plumbers. Why You Should Do Plumber SEO Plumber SEO is crucial because it helps your plumbing service appear in search results when potential customers in your target area look for the services you offer. A cool 54% of all clicks go to the top three organic search results. If you’re not effective with SEO you’re invisible organically. Can You Do Plumber SEO Yourself? Yes, you can certainly get started with the basics of Plumber SEO, but advanced SEO, with some elements of Technical SEO, may require a specialist. The most accessible way to stay abreast of updates is through reputable sources like Barry Schwartz and Lily Ray. Learn useful techniques by following experienced Local SEO professionals like Joy Hawkins and Darren Shaw. 1. Optimize Your Google Business ProfileGoogle Local Map PackTo appear in Google’s local search results, including the Map Pack, start with your Google Business Profile (GBP). Claim and Set Up Your Google Profile. If you’re not on the map already, add your business name and category. Choose a primary category such as “Plumber” and you can add more later for more specific services like Gas Installation Service, Drainage Service, or Bathroom Remodeler. Complete Your Profile DetailsReview Darren Shaw’s Whitespark Local Search Ranking Factors to see how you should prioritize your time.If you’re here doing pre-research before you even start a plumbing business take advantage of the knowledge that the keywords in your business name and the proximity to the location you want to rank in are top-ranking factors. Set up your service area and you can choose up to 20 locations, but the guideline is that it must be no longer than a 2-hour drive from where your business is based. 2. Local NAP CitationsMost business directories list your business name, address, and phone number. These listings are known as NAP citations.Local Data AggregatorsYou can either use a data aggregator service like Data Axle and Foursquare to list you on multiple directories.There’s also Whitespark who offer customizable citations and connections to large data aggregators. Get Listed with Free Local DirectoriesYou can also take care of some of the free ones first.Once you’re verified for Google Business Profile you can import your business onto Bing as well with a few clicks. Don’t forget to get listed on Yelp as well since Apple Map searches rely on data from Yelp. Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), LinkedIn Business and Instagram also allow you to put your address. YellowPages, Better Business Bureau, Nextdoor and Manta are some free ones to get listed on as well. Paid Plumber DirectoriesConsider paid services for citations such as Angi’s List, HomeAdvisor, and your local Chamber of Commerce.Put Your Address on Your SitePlace your address at the bottom of your footer exactly how it’s shown on Google and embed the map to help customers easily access leaving you a review.3. Boost Your ReviewsReviews not only enhance your credibility but also improve your SEO rankings. Here are some effective ways to gather more reviews:
4. Keyword ResearchUnderstanding what potential customers search for helps tailor your website content to meet their needs. Effective keyword research is the foundation of successful SEO.List Your ServicesStart by making a comprehensive list of all the plumbing services you offer. Think about every specific service you provide, no matter how niche.A detailed list might include: Drain unblocking, Burst pipe repair, Drain Cleaning, Toilet installation, Water heater repair, Sewer line inspection and repair. Use Keyword ToolsOnce you have your list of services, the next step is to use keyword research tools to find relevant keywords that potential customers are searching for.Google Keyword Planner Google Keyword Planner Google’s Keyword Planner is an ultimate keyword research tool that’s free and can help you find keywords, helpful insights, and discover new keywords. Enter Your ServicesDiscover New Keywords Google Keyword PlannerInput the list of services you created into the tool. For example, if you offer “drain cleaning” enter this term into the Keyword Planner Discover New Keywords followed by your target city. Analyze Keyword SuggestionsThe tool will generate a list of related keywords, showing their search volumes and competition levels. Look for keywords with a high search volume and low to medium competition. These are the sweet spots that can drive significant traffic to your site.Include Local Geographic ModifiersAdd local modifiers to your keywords to target searches in your service area. For example, “drain cleaning near me” or “emergency plumber [your city].” This helps attract customers who are looking for services in specific locations.Now I’ve found a low competition keyword that’s a longtail keyword (keyword phrase with 3+ words) “24 hour emergency plumber Atlanta”. Check out Keyword Surfer from Matt Diggity to get even more keyword data for free. You can also see the estimated monthly traffic a website domain gets. 5. Website Content & OptimizationPlumber Website ExampleCreate Service Specific PagesBy creating dedicated, optimized pages for each service, you can attract more targeted traffic and convert visitors into customers. These pages not only improve your SEO but also provide valuable information to potential clients, helping them choose your services with confidence.Unique Selling PointsHighlight what makes your service unique. This could be your experience, certifications, special equipment, or customer satisfaction guarantees.Include positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied customers. This builds trust and credibility with potential clients. Contact PageMake it easy for visitors to get in touch with you. Throughout your site link to a contact page. Provide your phone number, email address, and a web form for inquiries with your address shown and your service area. Including a call-to-action (CTA) encourages potential customers to take the next step.Craft Compelling ContentEach service page should clearly describe the service, its benefits, and why customers should choose you. Include certifications, unique selling points, and customer testimonials to build trust.Create engaging and informative content such as blog posts, FAQs, and plumbing tips to attract and retain visitors. Demonstrate your expertise and authority with pictures from job sites and speak from first-hand knowledge. 6. Build a Strong Link ProfileGuest blogging and engaging in community participation are free ways to build high-quality backlinks and establish your authority in the plumbing industry.Identify Target BlogsFind blogs in the plumbing, home improvement, and DIY niches that accept guest posts. Look for blogs with a good reputation and engaged audiences. Use search queries like “plumbing blogs accepting guest posts” or “home improvement write for us.”Reach out to the blog owners with well-crafted pitches. Propose topics that are relevant to their audience and showcase your expertise. Ensure your pitch is concise and highlights the value you can provide to their readers. Write well-researched, informative, and engaging articles. Focus on providing valuable insights and practical advice. Include relevant keywords naturally and ensure the content aligns with the blog’s style and tone. In your author bio, include a brief description of yourself and your plumbing business, along with a link back to your website. Some blogs may also allow you to include a link within the content itself. Ensure these links are relevant and add value to the article. Join Relevant CommunitiesParticipate in forums and online communities related to plumbing, home improvement, and DIY. Websites like Reddit, Quora, and specialized plumbing forums like PlumbingForums.com are great places to start.Offer helpful and knowledgeable answers to questions. Avoid blatant self-promotion and focus on providing genuine value. Share your expertise and build a reputation as a helpful professional.

Focus on high-quality backlinks from reputable sites. Look for backlinks that you can replicate. These might include mentions in articles.

Reclaim Lost LinksReclaiming lost links involves identifying and fixing broken or redirected links pointing to your site.Use tools like Ahrefs or Google Search Console to identify broken links pointing to your website. These tools can help you find 404 errors and other issues. Identify links that are redirected to other pages or domains. Ensure that the redirects are still relevant and pointing to the correct pages. Reach out to the webmasters of the sites linking to your broken URLs. Politely ask them to update the link to the correct page. Provide the exact URL to make it easier for them. If you have moved content to a new URL, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones. This ensures that any backlinks pointing to the old URL still pass on link equity to the new page. 7. Technical SEO & Website PerformanceTechnical SEO ensures that search engines can find, understand, and index your pages.Plan Your Site StructurePlumber SEO Site Structure ExampleA well-organized site structure helps visitors navigate your website and allows Google to find all your pages. Internal LinksInclude relevant internal links (links on one page to another on your site) throughout pages to help users easily navigate to important pages.Concise URL-friendly SlugSEO Unfriendly URL Slug ExampleWhen making slugs for URLs (characters at the end of the URL, shown above) make sure they’re short and to the point. It’s recommended to be under 70 characters total, that’s including the entire URL. However, it’s important to note that Google is known to truncate URLs depending on devices. For instance, notice the cut-offs in the below image. SEO Unfriendly URL Slug Example With Yoast or Rankmath you’ll be able to see how your page will appear in SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). Write Compelling TitlesYour titles should be engaging and accurately describe the content. Use power words and numbers to make your titles more compelling. For example, “10 Easy Tips for Fixing a Leaky Faucet” or “How to Unclog Any Drain in 5 Simple Steps.”Aim to keep your titles 50 to 55 characters (580px length to be exact, which free meta length checkers can help you with) to ensure they are fully displayed in SERPs and not cut off. For a blog post on drain cleaning, a compelling title could be: “How to Clean a Clogged Drain: 7 Effective Methods” Google is known to automatically change the title of your page in search results if it doesn’t match relevance. Follow best title practices to influence the result. Keep the Meta Descriptions ConciseClearly summarize what the page is about. Include the most important points that users should know before clicking. For a drain cleaning service page, you might write: “Get expert drain cleaning services in [City]. Our plumbers are available 24/7 to handle any blockage. Call [number] for a free quote.”Try to keep your meta descriptions concise and within the 160-character limit (920 pixels to be precise) to ensure the full text is visible. Include your phone number in the meta description as this is clickable on mobile. Use Clear Headings and SubheadingsHeading Tag Structure ExampleOrganize your content with clear headings (H1, H2, H3) and subheadings. This not only improves readability but also helps search engines understand the structure of your content. Break down information into bullet points and numbered lists where appropriate. This makes your content more scannable and user-friendly. Key Pages to MakeHome Page, About Us, Contact UsService Pages Service Locations (Be careful on this one and follow Google’s guidelines on Doorways) Service Location City Page Blogs for Informational Articles and How-To’s Create and Upload Your SitemapInstall a Plugin like Yoast or Rankmath to give you some useful SEO tools and create a sitemap to submit to Google and Bing.Use HTTPSHTTPS is a secure way for visitors to access web pages. Check if your website uses HTTPS by looking for a lock icon in the browser’s search bar.Monitor Your SEO HealthRegularly monitor your website’s SEO health using tools like Google Search Console. These tools can help you identify and fix common SEO issues. Key metrics to track include organic traffic, keyword performance, and site health score.Responsive DesignResponsive design refers to a web design approach that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. It ensures that your website looks and functions correctly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.Optimize ImagesLarge images can slow down your website, leading to a poor user experience, especially on mobile devices with slower internet connections. Optimizing images ensures faster loading times, which can improve both user experience and SEO.Use a site like TinyJPG to compress images for free. Simple LayoutA simple, uncluttered layout improves user experience by making it easier for visitors to navigate your site and find the information they need. It also ensures that your site loads faster, as there are fewer elements to load. You can find highly optimized plumber templates that you can use with WordPress.Click-to-Call ButtonsClick-to-call buttons are crucial for mobile users, allowing them to contact your business with a single tap. This convenience can increase conversion rates and improve customer satisfaction.Advanced Technical SEOIf you’re savvy on the technical side you can use free diagnostic tools like webpagetest and Google’s PageSpeed Insights to get more details on how to improve your loading speed and other technical optimizations.Another step is installing and configuring a free caching plugin like WP Super Cache. BreadcrumbsYou can use breadcrumbs to help Google understand the hierarchy of your site and may help users on their journey through your site.Local SEO SchemaAdd Plumber schema to important pages like the home page, contact, and service pages. You can use Schemantra to create the code to place on your site for free.8. SEO Content MarketingCreating valuable content can attract traffic and customers from organic search.Topic Keyword ResearchFinding the right topics to write about is crucial for attracting organic traffic.Begin with broad keywords related to plumbing, such as “leak repair,” “drain cleaning,” or “water heater maintenance.” Enter these into keyword research tools like Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, Google Keyword Planner, or SEMrush. Use these tools to find related keywords and phrases that people are searching for. Look for questions and long-tail keywords (phrases with three or more words) that indicate specific user intents. Instead of just “drain cleaning,” look for “how to clean a clogged drain” or “best drain cleaning services in [city].” Evaluate the search volume and competition level for each keyword. Ideally, seek keywords with high search volume but low to medium competition. This increases the chances of ranking well without facing too much competition. When reviewing these keywords go after transactional keywords as these will typically bring you more conversions. “Emergency plumber near me” is a transactional keyword because it has a higher likelihood of the potential customer seeking service. Compare this to an information keyword such as, “What’s the history of plumbing?”. Analyze the search engine results pages (SERPs) for your target keywords to see what type of content is ranking. Look for featured snippets, people also ask boxes, and top-ranking articles to understand the type of content Google favors. Keep in mind that when using standard browser settings you’ll see personalized results. You can use tools like AnswerThePublic for free to find more of what people are asking about a given topic. For Blogs Use Questions and Informational KeywordsBlogs focus on questions and informational keywords, such as “how-to” guides, tutorials, and tips. Good content written on this tends to attract more engagement and backlinks.Publish Optimized Blog PostsAnalyze the top-ranking pages for your target keywords to understand the user intent behind the searches. Are people looking for how-to guides, detailed articles, or quick answers? Align your content with what users intend to find.Ensure your content fully addresses the search query. If users are looking for a guide on fixing a leaky faucet, provide a step-by-step tutorial with images, videos, and troubleshooting tips. Include Images and Videos Use relevant images, infographics, and videos to enhance your content. Visual elements can help explain complex topics and keep readers engaged. Having an embedded YouTube video with a person speaking on the topic or pointing out common plumbing parts can set you apart from many competitors. 9. Promote Your ContentShare your blog posts on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Tailor your posts to each platform’s audience and use engaging visuals and descriptions to attract attention.Participate in relevant Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups, and online communities related to plumbing and home improvement. Share your content when appropriate if it adds value to the discussion. 10. Tracking SEO ProgressTracking your SEO efforts is essential to understanding what’s working and what needs improvement.Google Business Profile PerformanceMonitoring your Google Business Profile (GBP) performance is crucial for understanding how well your business is performing in local search results.Check Profile PerformanceLog into your Google account and search for your business name.

CMM.World & CMMTheology.org
The Great Harvest is here. Christ's Mandate for Missions and CMMTheology build strong, organic relationships globally as we worship, grow and equip together. Like Joshua and Caleb and the Apostle Paul, we see with faith what He sees in each person (to help each reach fullness), group (many streams and backgrounds in unity) and nations (sheep vs. goat nations). Our passion is to love, connect, equip and send with the simplicity, fullness, and power of the Gospel.
The Uncompromising Blissful Extravagance of His Presence! Inbox
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - November 10, 2022
Dear Mighty One,
I see the Lord's eye upon us we discover by revelation the 'new thing' He is doing in our lives and of those of us who, beyond the present darkness, gaze into His eyes. The 'tuning fork' of Yahweh is orchestrating the sons and daughters of our living God in growing holy remnant unity to withstand as we stand with Him fearlessly in the boldness of the faith of God in this hour. Egypt is behind us, and the covenantal promises and prophetic words we have received (1 Tim. 1:18) empower us by His Holy Spirit to advance in warfare, humbly growing in the spirit of wisdom and revelation.

Yesterday as I encouraged some friends, I said, 'stay in the blissful extravagance of His presence.' Today I saw in Psalm 34 His eyes are upon us in vs. 8 & 9 and v:15 about the 'uncompromisingly righteous.' We are to be holy as He is holy. That leaves no room for any more compromise or seeking to please man or the traditions of men, being free of the fear of man, the religious spirit, and any demonic activity. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Lord, help us understand by revelation to walk in all the authority we have been given by Jesus Christ.
Psalm 34:8-9 'O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.'
v. 15 'The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.'

Daniel) Despite the impending wars, division, chaos, calamity, and deceptive controls we hear the voice of our Lord at times speaking, or roaring, or whispering, and breathing on the sons of God. Are we listening yet? Heaven’s roar is clear to those with an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Living God is saying. This year holds untold opportunities, many answered prayers, and the cries of many hearts if we arise to walk obediently in His fullness, not growing weary in well-doing, nor fainting in the heat of this fiery battle. Deut. 6:4 ‘ The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.’ Jesus was asked many questions.

Highlights Of Our Amazing Trip To The Holy Land With Chris Reed And Bart Peacher
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - July 19, 2022

Highlights Of Our Amazing Trip To The Holy Land With Chris Reed And Bart Peacher Prov. 16:9 ' A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.' We are continually blessed and in awe of how the Lord breathes and moves in our lives. As we press into the high calling of Jesus Christ and we grow in intimacy and trust by faith, His love, grace, and mercy unfold in surprising ways. I had not been to Israel since 2017. So much has changed in the world since then as we see the tremendous acceleration of the times and seasons. Chaos, control, and corruption are increasing at an alarming rate. Our only hope is in Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Divine Encounters Abound As We Are Led By Holy Spirit And Make Ourselves Available Many churches are led by their pursuit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil instead of the knowledge of the Tree of Life. As we surrender fully to the Holy Spirit, we learn to walk in deep humility and attenti

Strategic Connecting Toward Freshness and Fullness in God
CMM is strategically positioned with proven, trusted, indigenous friends in many nations activating, equipping, connecting and releasing the saints to reach their people and nation with the love of Father God.
CMM is cross-denominational. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus and the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross assures us of victory, through trials, as we are trained to rule and reign with the Father's heart and love of justice and mercy and walk humbly before Him.
CMM is a 501c3 founded in 1978. We also handle donor relations for approximately 500 missionaries globally, ordained ministers, as we enjoy the Lord in fellowship, offering Christian accredited degrees globally, church planting, healing, counseling, orphanages, and prayer centers, creative arts, prophetic, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, medical, stopping human trafficking, leadership training and creative incubators for entrepreneurs, disaster relief, and connecting destinies.
Call 704-225-3927 or email office@cmm.world to learn more or to have one of our many CMM amointed, itinerant ministers speak at your church or group, in person or online.

The Great Harvest is here. Christ's Mandate for Missions and CMMTheology build strong, organic relationships globally as we worship, grow and equip together. Like Joshua and Caleb and the Apostle Paul, we see with faith what He sees in each person (to help each reach fullness), group (many streams and backgrounds in unity) and nations (sheep vs. goat nations). Our passion is to love, connect, equip and send with the simplicity, fullness, and power of the Gospel.
The Uncompromising Blissful Extravagance of His Presence! Inbox
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - November 10, 2022
Dear Mighty One,
I see the Lord's eye upon us we discover by revelation the 'new thing' He is doing in our lives and of those of us who, beyond the present darkness, gaze into His eyes. The 'tuning fork' of Yahweh is orchestrating the sons and daughters of our living God in growing holy remnant unity to withstand as we stand with Him fearlessly in the boldness of the faith of God in this hour. Egypt is behind us, and the covenantal promises and prophetic words we have received (1 Tim. 1:18) empower us by His Holy Spirit to advance in warfare, humbly growing in the spirit of wisdom and revelation.

Yesterday as I encouraged some friends, I said, 'stay in the blissful extravagance of His presence.' Today I saw in Psalm 34 His eyes are upon us in vs. 8 & 9 and v:15 about the 'uncompromisingly righteous.' We are to be holy as He is holy. That leaves no room for any more compromise or seeking to please man or the traditions of men, being free of the fear of man, the religious spirit, and any demonic activity. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Lord, help us understand by revelation to walk in all the authority we have been given by Jesus Christ.
Psalm 34:8-9 'O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.'
v. 15 'The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.'
Chuck Pierce shared this amazing word from Penny Jackson that is right on for this season: https://christsmandate.blogspot.com/2022/11/chuck-pierce-shares-powerful-word-from.html
May YOUR November be full of Thanksgiving and Praise for you and yours as YOU enjoy The Uncompromising Blissful Extravagance of His Presence!
Thank you for praying for CMM and all your fellow CMM Global Family worldwide. Pray for all the missionaries, schools, and students in CMM College of Theology in the US, Ecuador, Canada, Cuba, Myanmar, Nigeria, and Thailand.
Pray for the new wells and the living water and safe water recently drilled or soon to be drilled in Tanzania, India, Malawi, and Pakistan.
Pray for our upcoming Christmas gift campaigns to bless children and youth in many nations. Many of them are precious, beautiful children (orphans). As the Lord leads, pray about giving any amount to bless dear CMM children this Christmas. https://cmmworld.kindful.com/
Pray for each other, dear friends. We all know we each need prayers going up to Heaven for all those on the front lines. We each are on the front lines!
Please pray for me as I speak tomorrow online to a crusade with 8,000 expected to attend in Pakistan. In December, I will speak at conferences in Liberia and Kenya with fellow CMM Ordained ministers Robert Bimba (Liberia), Tom Omukhobero, and Daniel and Christine Oyoko (Kenya).
We are working on plans and trips for 2023. If you would like to have some of our awesome CMM family speakers for a conference in your area or would like to join or lead a missions trip, we would love to hook you up with dear friends in many nations.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Louis Blom of Judea Harvest as Associate Director of Missions at CMM. This strategic alliance multiplies the efforts and impact in building the Kingdom of our God, for His glory. https://youtu.be/HXfP8tCySRc

Many blessings and shalom from us all here at the home office and around the world.

Honoring and Celebrating the Class of 2022's 196 Graduates of CMM College of Theology Global Schools
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - June 15, 2022

We are rejoicing! We just celebrated two of our six schools' graduations on June 4th in the US and June 11th in Ecuador and we thank the Lord for all He has done in their lives and will do in this new era. We honor the faith in action of each of the seventy-eight students (in the USA and Ecuador schools this year)of all ages and from different streams and backgrounds. We thank the Lord for the hunger, perseverance and faith to finish strong. Each one encountered the Lord in fresh new ways as their hunger and perseverance in faith reaped eternal change as evidenced in their dissertations and heavenly encounters. In the last few months we have graduated 196 students from our global schools. All glory to the Lord as we enter our 16th year of offering affordable, life changing accredited degrees around the world. Each year our school is led by the Holy Spirit to go higher and deeper in excellence in academic standards and spirit-led equipping in a truly experiential, interactive, a

2024.05.21 00:51 VkngBl0oD I don’t see the point anymore
New grad with only the board exam standing in my way between applying for jobs. Took it once already and didn’t pass. Spent almost twelve weeks studying for it, literally dropped everything to prepare for it. No job, no social life, nothing. Nearly depleted my life savings into study materials. All that didn’t amount to jack squat. And now I don’t see the point anymore.
Full disclosure: I don’t think I did nearly enough research into the profession to really get a sense of what I was getting myself into. Also I think my passion for the career dwindled ever since I stopped taking peds courses two years ago. I literally don’t care about working in acute care or home health or SNF settings. I only wanted to help kids in ways that the education system couldn’t.
Regarding not understanding the profession: I mean, yeah I get that it helps build on meaningful skills and enhances quality of life overall using a client-centered and holistic approach. I get what the focus of the field is.
But I didn’t know a lot of other things. Like how broad the scope of knowledge has to be. Or subsequently how ill-defined and how little respected the profession is when compared to other medical fields. The tagline “OT: Nobody knows what we do” proved to be more true than I thought in my fieldwork experiences. I also didn’t think about the creative element required in OT, especially in peds. Doesn’t help that I don’t have a creative bone in my body. I literally used whatever was in the closet of the therapy rooms I was stationed at or pre-fabricated activities I managed to find online. I’m not an innovator. I can only imitate or copy what other people do. What good will that be at any point in the career?
Final aspect of my rant. A friend of mine shared with me that he was applying to be a state trooper. I looked into that profession out of curiosity. All of the salary information, training programs, fitness requirements, pension plan info, health benefits, etc. are available on the state website. Put simply, I was floored by how much they end up making and how much support they get. They start off at $60K a year. And that’s while they’re training AT THE ACADEMY. This carries on over into their first year; by their second year, the salary jumps up $25K to $85K per year. By year five, they’re in six figure territory. Fantastic pension plan, full health coverage including optical and dental. And 90% of the job involves standing or sitting in one place and issuing speeding tickets, according to people I know who are in that career. Not to mention the written exam to get into the training academy is a joke: any yahoo with a high school diploma could pass it. I also know that I could ce the physical fitness requirements in my sleep (I’m a lifelong distance runner who can regularly clock a sub 5 minute mile, plus do twice the minimum requirement of push-ups and hit the minimum requirement of sit-ups). Meanwhile school based OTs (a field I once thought was meant for me) often struggle to find a place where they make more than the teachers they collaborate with while only getting bumps of $2K in their salaries every year if they’re lucky. Sure the pension plans are often good, summers may be optional, and caseloads might vary depending on the district; but regardless of how many students I could potentially end up with, I honestly do not know if I can manage it all. Especially given how bad my organizational skills are. And I think everyone here knows just how much knowledge one is expected to possess to pass the board exam.
Ever since I found out about the state trooper statistics, one question has been stuck in my mind: “Why did I ever consider grad school to be an option when there were ways to achieve independence and make good amounts of money in shorter time frames that required less intelligence this entire time?”
I’m tired of being financially dependent. I’m tired of working my ass off for nothing. I’m tired of being stuck where I’m at (single, broke, unemployed, living at home, etc.) while everyone else around me is signing deals on houses, happily married, financially stable, and in their dream careers. I have lost my passion. And if there’s no passion, how can I possibly be of service to any child?
Where do I go from here?
