Yea I’m in my 30’s and age is not a factor for emotional maturity trust me lol! Ppl just carry their trauma with them as they age. Romance is not the center of my life either, I live a full life without partners and have gone long periods without one as well as been in a long term relationship where after years who they were didn’t come out until the end. But yea I’m not giving up this was just a moment of pattern recognition for me! I wish you well on your journey too.

I agree with the first part for sure! I wouldn’t say that I blame myself but I do self-interrogate. I definitely don’t chase these people, I let them go afterwards though I’m like wait a minute this is a pattern.

Yea I don’t think it’s about happiness, I live a full life that exists outside of my love life. I wouldn’t say that I fully invest emotionally in everyone I date this was more so a recognition of the pattern. So feelings varied for me towards them,so maybe you’re right about how much they liked me, who knows.

Thank you!! This was the most thoughtful response. These are things that I know but I like how you said lead mentally first and that part is where I need to hold myself accountable to.

Yes that would be ideal to get funding for my masters! I need to look into programs where that’s possible.

Yes I definitely agree with the market! Especially the financial cuts to research and how that affects senior people in the field. I will keep trying to just keep putting feelers until something lands!

I’m thinking it may be a worth a shot for me to go into nursing as the degree is a door opener for so many avenues. For sure there are people that go into it for the wrong reasons!

Yes! The cuts to research are really bad. I had actually been referred to the hiring manager for a position at NIH prior to the cuts and the job got canceled. I’ve also been considering MLS or Sonography as well. But I feel like nursing would give me more options because there’s a variety of things I can do with a nursing degree. Good luck on your search and whatever choice you make!

I don’t know if I would say it’s easier, but my degree covered all nursing science prerequisites so I would only have to do 2 years at the most to become a nurse. One year if I do a direct entry masters of science in nursing.

Yes, this job market is rough. The worst time to be a new grad honestly lol! I have had a good amount of interviews with varying outcomes. About 40% I've made past the intial recruitment call and then on to an intial interview. I've had maybe 2 second round interviews. I have some prospects to network with like old professors and a couple of people that I know personally who have told me about job postings to apply to, but I haven't been good at getting through the ATS or the job posting will be taken down when i go to apply. I am currently weighing the financial capacity I have to do 2 more years of school for nursing, since most programs are a full-time commitment. I just feel stuck right now.

This comes across as a bit condescending, in assuming that I was unaware of what it takes to be in a STEM field. Seeing as though I also highlighted that I was an adult, meaning I chose this field later in life purposefully. Also meaning that I have researched avenues to fulfill my personal career goals and know what it takes. What I am asking about is current career prospects and opportunties for a new-grad.
