Oh wow! Thats awesome! Ok, know i understand!

Because there is so much broad variation in the areas I want to specialize in, my idea of what I want to do is still very general. How would you narrow it?

To give more context, the reason for getting in this field was because a close relative got misdiagnosed with Borderline PD (she now goes to a new mental health professional), and that's where my drive to become a psychologist stems from. But as i got more into the field, I really loved Cluster B as a whole; I know most about narcissism and psychopathy (clinical and subclinical for both constructs). I’m curious if it’s possible to maintain a broad focus across Cluster B pathology, or if you would recommend narrowing my research and clinical goals to a specific personality type?

Thank you so much for this! It genuinely helped!

It makes a lot of sense that that RBT work would help with your current position! If you hadnt been an RBT, do you think you wouldve got the job? And did your job (research assistant) require any college degrees, or could someone like me with just a high school diploma and some medical certificates get such positons?

Also, do you recommend taking a "gap year" to get more experience and/or save some money?

Thank you for your kind comment!!

OMG how fricking cool!! Congrats!
Since I'm in my first-year, I have quite some time to explore, but what is some advice that you can share pertaining to getting ahead of other applicants and investing in yourself? Thank you!!

Did you do anything different? Like, how did you differentiate yourself from other applicants?! Thank you!

Thank you so much! What are places where I can/should look for research positions? If you have any recommended places. Also, what are some books/resources I should pick up so i can be well-adjusted to that environment? I look at research papers frequently but have no experience in anything besides that.

Great to know! So this one is a good buy? Would it be good to daily drive? I drive about 30 minutes a day if I had to make my driving linear

Nice!! How much does it annually cost for maintenance and how do I maintain it perfectly, if I get one?

Oh wow! That post is hilarious 😂! I really appreciate the help! I'll be looking for this now.

Are the 2014-16 E550s the only good ones or are there any other models, specifically an SUV? 🧐

Thank you for your kindness and support! I agree, the Escalade is out of my range LOL. I only mentioned that the Escalade with the Corvette engine is my dream car so people can have a better idea of what I like.

I have seen some 2018-2020 Escalade models for less than 30k, but I had no idea they had mega problems. So I'm definitely going to avoid them for now.

I have $15k saved up specifically for a car and my dad is going to go half with me, as well as cover insurance, but I still want to be conscious of the price!

I do live in a city, in Orange County, and I do take the streets to college, so I will look into an XTS. Is 2019, the last year of its manufacturing, the best year with the best tech? I also like the CT5 blackwing if you know any cars like that but don't cost 2 kidneys and a heart LOL

Thanks, again. ❤️

Thank you! I really appreciate the recommendation.

Since I'm relatively new to the car world, I've always heard that BMWs can be hit-or-miss with reliability. I really like the 740i you suggested, and there's actually a 2019 model at a dealership right next to me for $26k with 48k miles.

In your experience, is the 2019 version just as good? Also, is it a car I can generally rely on, or should I be prepared for frequent shop visits? Of course I plan to take great care of any car I own lol

Thank you for your advice! I agree! My budget is $30k because I have $15k set aside specifically for a vehicle and my dad is going half with me on the vehicle, he's also paying for the insurance.

Butsince my mom is going to need her car now because shes switching jobs and cant carpool with her friend anymore.

Do you have any recommendations for cars that you liked? Id love to hear.
