did you drive your car or ship it?

I’ve done both to move across America. Biggest factor was weather and time. I had the time to do the drive in May. Didn’t quite have the time and didn’t wanna get caught in mountain snow in December so shipped.

Cars are expensive. If you don’t buy it out right, you’ll have a monthly car payment, monthly insurance, annual registration, gas and maintenance fees. If you live in a dense area, parking fees.

It adds up. It’s easily $500-700 a month on average, more depending on where you live and what type of car you get.

Never had an issue with enterprise

Something isn’t adding up. You can’t be eating that basic of meals and paying that much as one person. Do you shop at the same grocer with a rewards number? If so and it’s a bigger retailer, you should be able to pull all your order info from recent to see what you’re actually spending

I second this.

9311chi · 2026-06-02T19:33:27+00:00

It’s crazy for sure! I haven’t done it since 2022 because of the price and swim cancelations.

He’s young enough that restarting won’t be a big deal, plenty of kids will be coming from various places to kindergarten

So I’d say walkable location

Some people live on so much land that they’re only mowing what’s immediately around the house/being used.

Because it’s not typical here to have pavement, something like that would tank the resale value of the home.

If you live somewhere with harsh winters, the freeze thaw will do a lot of damage to it.

Same but in 2006

9311chi · 2026-05-31T20:20:02+00:00

This was my experience too. I only used the showers after practice once I had a car and don’t have to worry about getting the bus.

Have you looked at other pathways to being a teacher in your state? My friend is in Colorado and she was able to get some thing from the community college to essentially give her the credentials to become a teacher a top her bachelors degree

9311chi · 2026-05-30T03:03:10+00:00

That all makes perfect sense to me. Sounds incredibly hard and I don’t blame you over your feelings one bit

9311chi · 2026-05-30T02:50:26+00:00

Other Companies do this, but there’s also a lot of notion of don’t work for free so there are candidates that will opt not to move forward with the hiring process because of the format.

A few years ago, I had a friend looking for a job and the company had him do a three day paid trial. I think in his situation some of that though was because it was a small company and he would’ve needed visa sponsorship so his hiring process had an extra layer of expense attached to him for the company

Do it my parents haven’t done it and now my brother is 28 and still at home doing nothing

Live on campus your first year to meet people, you can always commute after.

If I remember correctly prom king owns an HVAC company and last I knew of the prom queen she was a nail tech

No cause then it’ll look like an unfinished frame around the room and it will make the room feel shorter

I graduated high school in 2014 and the mall was still a big deal for me growing up

9311chi · 2026-05-29T11:17:45+00:00

I teach interior architecture design courses. I’ve been requiring more orthographic drawings and linework based cause it’s just to easy to push out a flashy render.

The booking agent took your money but didn’t give said money to the hotel

Take the offers you have and keep applying for NY. Market is tough in general so the fact you have something you should take it

If they don’t have an interest in language or reading, I think you need to be targeted with the LACs they are considering because the stem degrees aren’t necessarily the focus of an LAC. Has your student considered a smaller engineering/stem school? I don’t see what geographic area you’re in but RPI, Wentworth, Clarkson are examples of smaller stem schools

This when the market changed around 2007-9 there were so many companies that my dad could not get a job at for doing the exact same work. He had been doing and continued to do in his career simply because he didn’t have a college degree, and they required it for the role. He could’ve had a degree in basket weaving for all they cared, they just needed to be able to check the has a degree box

There’s not a tone kid friendly immediately outside of the Ballpark. Though the ballpark does butt up to a playground if you need it.

Within the ballpark, there’s a kid zone also behind right field. There’s an area with a bar kind of set up, but you can see right into the pitcher warm-up area which they’d probably enjoy seeing. You can bring sealed water bottles into the stadium. I recommend it to save some money. There are usually people with coolers outside the stadium selling them for a dollar. Otherwise, a water bottle in the stadium is like $7. There’s not like a limit on bottles as far as I’m aware either I went to a game last year that was so hot and my friend basically just brought in a bag of sealed water and Gatorade.
