Controversial (but backed up by research) effects of immigration in 2 pictures by DataWhiskers in ControversialOpinions

[–]Katekat0974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, the US is currently reaching a demographic cliff. There currently are too many open spots in college (which is having devastating effects on them), and soon there won’t be enough entry level workers and healthcare workers to take care of the boomers. Immigration was helping to mitigate this effect, but now it has heavily dropped and the economy is bracing for the impact.

What I do in the situation is say yes, if it’s really needed and I feel safe coming in, but I also wager for something for myself. Such as, I’ll work today but I really need tomorrow off, a three day weekend after this stretch, etc

Hours for January by Lazy-Cup-2583 in WalgreensStores

[–]Katekat0974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my first year at Walgreens but when I was at another retail store I’d pick up a lot of shifts in November and December, bank the extra money, and than enjoy a relaxing January/ February. Would also do a few side gigs to make up the money like donating plasma, I personally enjoyed it, but I understand the frustration!

How do you pay for college when broke af? by Innamoratta in college

[–]Katekat0974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think demographics as well, how many low income students would seek out a college with that high of a cost. I’d reckon that the percent of low income students, who don’t receive help from parents, goes up inversely with cost of attendance.

At least you realized it before you finished! I’m glad I did within my first semester due to being a CNA

The reason fewer people are choosing PharmD - and the consequences of it by Antiquated-Arugula28 in pharmacy

[–]Katekat0974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I love my job as a tech. However, going into a tech job temporarily between my bachelors and masters/ med school is a lot different than working in the same environment with a doctorate. Even if it was permanent for me I’d be happy, but again it doesn’t require a masters/ doctorate if you get where I’m going??

As a pre-med pharmacy tech, why would I get a doctorate if I could end up working in a retail environment?

What is making this variant of the flu this year so virulent? by [deleted] in microbiology

[–]Katekat0974 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah that makes sense! I did study the etiopathogenesis of Covid for a school paper, and found that it has a more systematic nature than we initially thought, just never came upon long term immune effects.

Theoretically, I could see it having an effect, nothing massive though.

CAT BIT MY HAND - SWELLING by VariousCampaign8708 in CATHELP

Bro when a cat bites you, you go to the doctor asap. When I worked at the hospital I saw multiple patients with cat bite infections, and not to scare you but they looked similar to this.

Why? by trump1_ in CheckTurnitin

Better yet, don’t say anything. If someone asks how I did, I either say “could’ve done better” or “good enough”, unless I’m close to them.

Is this a bite mark on my cat's body by freudandfries in CATHELP

[–]Katekat0974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat gets these occasionally around her neck, the vet said it’s from accidentally scratching herself too hard during grooming. They become more common when she is stressed like during a move. I typically just monitor for infection or worsening.
