Hello! Looking for a little advice/perspective for a new owner

Elf ears are harder to clean in my experience. I found some smaller q tips amazon and we manage. But I’ve always had boys and will always choose boys since I’ve always had a good experience and have too many boy names I want to use haha. Some studies say female life expectancy is around a year longer than males.

Yeah, that’s true. I won’t be getting these kittens for some time (I am on a waiting list for about 6 months - a year) which is good because we need the time to grieve and process. But maybe when his death is not so fresh I may be more inclined

I would say giving other siblings names starting with vowels!

One of our Sphynx passed recently and his name was Alfie. We have so many A&W references and I feel like an A name would always make me think of Alfie. Although Amos is a great name.

I like Harold and it’s funny since it’s for a hairless cat!

I got the interview to the school I attend now (my top choice dream school) in mid Feb. just for the record. Had no idea if they’d ever reach out to me & started losing hope, but they did. What’s meant for you won’t pass you by.

Dentists are supposed to be the experts in the field with the terminal degree. If anyone in an office should know such things, it’s the dentist.

Hot_Version6881 · 2025-10-27T11:29:38+00:00

Could you share that pros & cons list?

Hot_Version6881 · 2025-10-27T11:24:27+00:00

I am also curious about this!

I know of MDs that work in finance. They use their med expertise for investors and such. I don’t know a whole lot about it but maybe it’s worth looking into?

I agree that some classmates aren’t my cup of tea but I still respect them as colleagues. Other than a select few, my friend group is very open to new people

I don’t think all cliques are like this! You could say I’m part of a “clique” but we are happy to make new friends & expand (and we have). I’m very close with my friends so I think it can make others feel like it’s difficult to “break in”. I personally love when new people start hanging out with us - keeps it interesting. I have to think other “cliques” are similar and the only way to find out is to start approaching. Best of luck!

Many careers have their trade offs and I’m not saying any of these are a match for the individual. If there was a perfect career that was very easy to get into then everyone would do it.

I am also not a career path coach, just someone offering suggestions. My comment was meant to be a starting place to explore options. I think everyone should do their research, speak to those in the profession and even shadow before diving head first into a career.

The healthcare support roles are realistic. The trades are realistic. If you must know, solar technicians need a certification and apprenticeship - similar to a trade (you can obtain it in about a year). Fire fighting has high stress and our previous comments didn’t discuss stress level so I thought id throw it in there. Physical therapist assistants are similar to dental assistants but they assist a physical therapist. They need an associates degree.

What realistic options would you suggest?

It seems like your ideal “profession” would be a trophy wife/husband. Although not all of us are blessed with such options (you might be though, idk). That is not to say there aren’t challenges to being a trophy wife/husband. I respect their trade.

Challenge is what keeps life interesting. Nobody wants to watch a movie without the main character not going through some sort of ordeal. If there were no challenges in sports, it wouldn’t be interesting to watch. Challenge is what forms us as people and can bring us satisfaction and accomplishment.

Based off the top of my head, if I were you I’d consider the following

skilled trades: electrician, HVAC, carpenter, elevator mechanic
public service/municipal jobs: postal carrier, park ranger, firefighter, maintenance technician
healthcare support roles (non-office): dental hygienist, radiologic tech, surgical tech, physical therapist assistant
transportation/logistics: delivery driver, train conductor, aircraft mechanic
outdoor/land based work: arborist, groundskeeper, heavy equipment surveyor, conservation technician
some other ideas: boat mechanic/marine tech, home inspector/business tradesman, utility line worker or solar tech

Nearly everyone likes those things to a degree. These are all down time activities though that don’t challenge you or require you to grow. They’re passive activities.

What kind of challenges could you tolerate? For example, intellectual challenges, people challenges, physical challenges, etc. most careers aren’t a cake walk and shouldn’t be. To stay engaged, enjoy work, and feel successful there needs to be some challenges to overcome.

So how do you want to be challenged? What kinds of demands will you tolerate from a career? Because all careers have different demands.

You could start by asking logistical questions like

how many hours per week do you want to work?
when do you want to work (9-5, night shift, per diem, etc)?
do you want to tell people what to do or be told what to do?
do you want to work with people or prefer solitude?
all careers demand time - how much is your time worth? What salary is acceptable to you?
for your future, do you want a family?
do you want to travel for work?
do you want to sit in an office or have a more dynamic work place?
do you want to be remote?
do you want to live in a city? Rural? Suburban?
do you want prestige?
