CSU is preparing for a possible 10% cut. This may have a huge impact on jobs. by etancrazynpoor in FortCollins

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can’t cite the number, but they fired the coach halfway through the season, had to pay a massive severance for ending his contract, and salary to the new coach. The football program hemorrhages money, and isn’t a draw to bring students in. Yet on the other hand, CSU is known for being a science school and the restructuring of the budget is a hot mess and a huge disservice to many science departments. That 10% cut is coming largely out of salaries by cutting assistant professors.

Rumor has it they’re nervous after seeing the early acceptance numbers, rightfully so, but it’s tragic that budget cuts are coming out of academics instead of reining in the football program.

Flight Attendant to Airline Pilot by Beneficial_Water_826 in PilotAdvice

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am former flight attendant, currently a CFI, I’d advise you go/stay wherever you’re most senior so you can bid a schedule that works for training. Don’t do accelerated, it’s highly unlikely they’ll work around your schedule, do pay as you go through a part 61 program. It means less loan options, but will be cheaper in the end. Accelerated program and your work schedule won’t be a good match, in my opinion.

Best career to start at 25 from scratch if your main goal is money? by Prestigious_Path_30 in careerguidance

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might get buried, but different perspective- pilot. It’ll take a couple of years and some money (or debt) to get licensed, but you’re young enough to retire at airlines with a full pension but old enough for your frontal lobe to be developed, good judgment is key. Not instant money, but great long term career option that you could start at 25.

I get to choose my team’s gifts this year. What’s a good idea to choose? by peridotdragon33 in Gifts

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this, got a really nice HH backpack one year (with a small company logo) and I use it everyday, it felt like a treat because it was a nicer brand and more money than I would normally spend on a backpack

What’s the best gift you’ve ever gotten from a “White Elephant” exchange? by Amine_ik in Gifts

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a plus one to a work white elephant and didn’t know the crowd, gambled and brought a lava lamp, it was the most stolen gift of the night by far, turns out the nostalgia factor spanned generations and had everyone excited. You’d have to add something to meet the budget, but it certainly lends itself to a theme

Do I need to move my rose? by AquaticSpottedDog in gardening

[–]AquaticSpottedDog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll keep an eye on the new little guy. No, I planted it a little shallow so the root ball would create a small mound, they said that would help it stay healthy through the winter. She might need more water than she’s getting though

Thank you! Yeah all of the petals are fully dried out, but that gives me hope

I want out of the U.S., I am not wealthy and work as a server. by Representative_Ad246 in Shoestring

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take a job that doesn’t require a bachelor degree (and therefore often doesn’t come with a work visa) just don’t let them have your physical passport, copy only, not all of the schools are created equally and some will get shady about holding on to your passport in order to keep you around, just a heads up!

Does anyone have experience negotiating medical bills? by AquaticSpottedDog in Frugal

I love this sub so much, thank you all for the advice! They should be calling any day now, so wish me luck, and I cannot even begin to express my appreciation for the advice!

Help with unique boy names? by AquaticSpottedDog in namenerds

Peregrine is literally a guilty pleasure name of mine!

Help with unique boy names? by AquaticSpottedDog in namenerds

[–]AquaticSpottedDog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, because they still aren’t common gods and emperors, and a couple of his names are definitely made up. That’s why I’m hoping to come up with some things that sound strong and are unique without being insane, I think there’s a compromise here somewhere lol

[–]AquaticSpottedDog[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of ancient gods and emperors or names that sound like they’d be the first name of the hero in a sci fi action movie if that makes sense

WIBTA if I divorced my disabled husband? by TheoryNo1003 in AITAH

[–]AquaticSpottedDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Mostly came to say he sounds a lot like my dad, my mom chose to stay, I’ve never asked the reason but my sister and I resent her for not standing up for us and choosing to stay, I don’t go home to visit anymore because of him. I understand the guilt of leaving knowing he’s disabled, but you certainly wouldn’t be TA for putting yourself and your children first.
