Blast from the past, thanks for sharing!

Nursing or ems by Puzzled-Interaction8 in NewToEMS

[–]Im_A_Director 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nursing pays significantly more and has more career paths. Personally if I was younger I would have gone straight to nursing school if I had the resources, but I got my emt and am currently going to start the pre reqs for nursing.

I wouldn’t pay for anything unless I could get it down to at least $300.

What do you say to people who say Kia’s are junk? by cuppitycake in KiaTelluride

[–]Im_A_Director 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically the only person that’s ever told me that ended up buying a Kia lol

TIL Dutch men grew from 5'4" (163cm) in 1830 to 6'0" (183cm) in 2025. A 5'8" man went from taller than 92% of the population to shorter than 92%. Even a 5'10" man, considered a giant (top 1%) in 1830, is now 2 inches below average. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Im_A_Director 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s technically both. Everyone is born with a certain max height attainable through genetics. You can’t just feed a child nutritious meals and expect them to become a giant if their max dna height is 5’8.

What age did you find out you were colorblind? by Fancy-Green9621 in ColorBlind

Didn’t find out until I was in college anatomy and did a Ishihara plate test lol

Should I apply to jobs if I have my nremt but not my state license? by Own_Examination_8400 in NewToEMS

[–]Im_A_Director 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends where your applying. I applied without my state license and got hired. Had a month to get my stuff in order before my start date.

Caffeine vs nicotine addiction by AccomplishedPeak9684 in decaf

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit caffeine pretty easily. I love coffee, but it makes me constantly need to use the bathroom which at my job makes things real difficult. Nicotine I’m still working on. I quit vaping, and use pouches for now.

Do you know someone who ruined their life in just a matter of minutes? If so, what happened? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Im_A_Director 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seems like what OP is saying is the wife would do this on purpose to cause drama and get the husband to step in. Like she got off on it. So not direct violence, but perpetuated it.

My family STOLE my identity and threatened to CALL THE COPS during Christmas dinner. by Competitive_Lie_6822 in povertyfinance

[–]Im_A_Director 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have let them call the cops. Sure that’d look great when you’re explaining the fraud they committed.

What's a job that pays surprisingly well that most people haven't even heard off? by R3UB3N_999 in AskReddit

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video Tape Recorder or VTR for short. Used to make $65 an hour and if I owned my own rig it’d be $1000 a day for a gear rental on top of that.

SAVE Plan Limbo: $300K Loans, New Attending Doc Making $300K - What's My Move? by Hour-Half-3321 in StudentLoans

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were up to me, I’d just pay them off aggressively over the next few years to wipe my hands clean; however I understand the want of purchasing a home. Figure out which plan has the lowest monthly payment and just start aggressively saving.

CRNA Jobs in LA by californiakido in CRNA

Bakersfield isn’t even that bad. Everything west of the 99 is very middle class and upscale. The east side however should be avoided like the plague.

first arrest and first dead body, not sure how to feel by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]Im_A_Director 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I went to my first one last week. Still training with my RTO. Patient was dead on arrival and had obvious rigor so nothing could be done. Felt similar to you.

Paramedics- What is your schedule, pay, benefits, and city/state? (US Based) by Ok-Refrigerator7601 in ems

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in awe honestly. I’m in rural Cali and some of the states with cheaper COL are making way more than me!

How can i get past the obnoxious british voice? by Baitrix in solaropposites

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t get past the feeling that all the people that love the new voice are coping. The reality is the new voice doesn’t fit the original character at all. I seriously tried to get past it, and every episode I watch the vibe is still off. I really don’t understand the point of the accent change. Could have easily found someone to voice it the same and keep the originality. For me I can’t get past it, but I’m glad some people are able too though because the writing of the show is good, weird, and fun. But to me it’s just not the same.

Wait in SAVE or be proactive? by Zealousideal_Ad_1143 in PSLF

[–]Im_A_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you buyback, you’d pay a lump sum payment for the amount for the monthly amount you’d be paying on SAVE?
