  • Ya I went straight cash a while ago, I use to have some holdings but I got really bearish a while back (still am) so I just jump in with options here or there, nice quick in/out when yhings are moving, not too greedy. I went back to school a while back so I really don’t have time to watch the market so I’m a little out of practice, more of a hobby until I get back into the workforce and have some time and play money. Until then I have to be really conservative.



  • If I had my way I’d make as many services public as possible. I cant stand tge fact that I pay taxes and the “public” transportation (train/bus/subway) isn’t free. Imagine how much pocket change you would have if energy companies, telecoms (cell/wifi), and transportation were all gov-run? All that said I have no idea how that would translate in practice, its a nice little daydream I had.



  • This hits home, I’ve got an MSC and years of experience in my field in a research setting (pathology/histology) and I’m going back to get certified for med lab and oh my god is it ever unfriendly for mature students. I’ve been through some stressful times in life and every time I say “wow that was brutal, at least i’ll never be this stressed out ever again” and this is far and away the most stressed out I’ve ever been, the program is insane. its not complicated, its just a firehose of convoluted lectures, readings, assignments, half the time I’m just trying to organize everything, they just offloaded everything onto the student. I barely have time to make dinner, I can’t remember the last time I had an hour to myself between school and my old lab, there aren’t enough hours in a day. I’m never going back to school after this, it’ll be worth it in the long run but this’ll probably take a few years off my lifespan.
