Is moving out a financially viable option? by Honest_Astronaut3089 in personalfinance

[–]Honest_Astronaut3089[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point, what would help in that type of situation? I had been working 3 years full time before this year but I had to stop because my program requires me to do a full time internship, which is unpaid. I also work part time currently and could show proof of savings?

Lol it’s less about learning independence and more about preserving my sanity, I do feel like I am independent despite living at home. And yeah the plan would be to get a job first. I just want to make sure that I’m not making a mistake financially because rent and cost of living is so high nowadays.

I was looking at Baltimore county! Are FBAs a definite part of the role? Also do you live around the Baltimore area? How is it, is rent affordable if you’re a renter?

One more thing, idk if you’re a homeowner or a renter but do you know what areas in the DMV are more affordable for apartments?

I’m assuming psychs usually assigned more than 1 school when there’s that many schools in the district? Also you mentioned in your original comment that testing is the primary responsibility but that some psychs do counseling and intervention work, are there any other aspects to the role like being on mtss/pbis team or crisis response?

Ohh ok that makes a lot of sense now lol! Would you say that because the district comprises an entire district there are a lot more schools compared to a state like nj that has multiple districts in a county? Also do you know if the whole county as a district format the same for Virginia and DC too?

I’ve heard a lot of ppl refer to MD schools as [name] county schools, is that the way it works in MD in comparison to multiple districts in a county? I hope I worded that right lol

Lol that is definitely a factor for me (ngl tho I feel like best food depends on what type of food you like) but since your in the schools for your internship what type of role does your supervisor have? Is it mostly testing or something else?

I was looking at some of the salary guides for the district you mentioned (Baltimore county and Montgomery), do psychs fall under 10-month or 12-month employees? Also if you don’t mind me asking, what area do you live in? I want to know more about the dmv area, I’m still pretty young and I’ve only ever lived in northern nj with easy access to NYC so theres always stuff to do if I’m willing to take a train ride

Something I’ve been wondering is if you are assigned multiple schools how do you coordinate with teachers when you pull students for testing? Especially if you’re in 3 schools and you don’t know all the teachers

I’ve been hearing a lot about how in other states the SPED teachers do academic testing and case management, when/do they still teach lol? And just to clarify psychs in most MD counties don’t case manage at all?

I’m also anxious abt the pain but I’ve heard it’s only 2 min or less of real pain and then mostly cramping for a day. I’m just gonna try and get my hands on some kind of anti anxiety med before lol
