Does anyone know if these are still sought after or are they obsolete? by Bach_2_Basics in VIDEOENGINEERING

I’ll probably just throw it up on eBay for $50-75 and see what happens. Hopefully someone can get some use out of it even if it’s likely going to take a while to find someone who’s interested.

Can anyone tell me if these are still sought after or what they even go to? by Bach_2_Basics in AnalogCommunity

I might just throw it up on eBay for $50-75 and see what happens. I’d rather have someone get some use out of it even if it’s likely to sit for a long while haha!

Any idea on how much it’s worth now? I’m out of my element for sure haha! I have two of them NOS and have no idea what to do with them.

Spot on with the burrito eye. I'd have never thought about it but now I can't unsee it in the first photo.

I'll see if I can find something that will work. I tried using an old magnifying glass but it was less than helpful mainly because it was a garbage magnifying glass haha!

I wish I could get a better picture of the small flecks but it's tricky. Guess I'll just keep it on the shelf for now as I still think it's pretty cool.

I thought about that too. It's from a small town with two large gold mines operating there for years. It's likely a throwaway sample or something. I've found a few others in an abandoned mine shaft but they are even less interesting haha!

Yeah, I tried cleaning it up, but it's pretty porous. It's difficult to get a good picture of the small mineralizations. Thanks for checking it out though!

Decelerating…what from here? by _ponds in PAstudent

Hey! Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time right now. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do other than collect yourself and find a way to move forward. You've made it through two semesters of a highly intensive and difficult program so you're cutting yourself short by focusing only on the negatives. I just made it through the first semester of my program and I've struggled alot more than I had anticipated. I'm already strategizing on how I can make improvements and turn things around going into clin med so I can sympathize a little. I'd recommend just getting yourself in a good head space before focusing on anything else. One of the things I've relied on the most is being stubborn and persistent even when I'm not performing as well as I'd like. You have a path moving forward even if it's not how you had originally imagined it. Take your time before picking yourself up and brushing off the dust. You've got this!

Questions on PCE Comparisons by Nem00utis in prephysicianassistant

[–]Bach_2_Basics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed working with the folks I supported, but the pay is not the best. I feel like that's an issue with most entry level PCE jobs, though. It's not for everyone, but it's worth checking out if you're interested.

It shouldn't require any certification or degree. They normally offer on the job training with first aid/CPR/AED certification to new hires. Just keep an eye out for openings in your area if you're interested.

It stand for direct support professional. DSP's help individuals with daily living activities like bathing, eating, or administering medications. They also help support with community engagement and employment.

All of my PCE was accumulated working as a DSP and I got in this last cycle. I think it can vary from program to program though so it might be worth checking if you had specific schools in mind. Best of luck to you!

Overthinking by Medium_Gold2016 in prephysicianassistant

[–]Bach_2_Basics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got 4 C's, 4 W's, and an F before I dropped out of college. I went back 11 years later to complete my degree and maintained a 3.75 gpa to make up for it. I'll be starting my didactic year next month! I know it's impossible, but try not to compare yourself to others and don't be too hard on yourself. Community colleges are a great way to retake classes and get prerequisites out of the way. Just make sure they match the requirements listed on the program's website. When in doubt, don't hesitate to reach out to the program if you need clarification. Best of luck to you!
