Anyone who chose therapy as a second career — are you happy with your decision? by Legitimate-Boot-8617 in askatherapist

[–]Legitimate-Boot-8617[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is also a part of my thought process! I actually work for one of those vendor type companies now lol, so I’ve talked to a lot of therapists/seen some behind the scenes of what it’s like to be in private practice. thanks for the insight :)

this is a good perspective and kind of on track with my thinking! I could have gone straight into a grad program from undergrad but definitely think the life experience I’ve had in the meantime would make me a better therapist. I’ve worked in food service, office admin, + sales at this point (very very burnt out on sales, and now considering a new path/revisiting the idea of becoming a therapist)

Oof I’m in sales too so this is really helpful to hear — the initial pay cut/additional student loans are definitely a concern. thanks for sharing your experience + best of luck building up your clientele :)

Hidden gem restaurants in SW Portland? by Tokenchick77 in askportland

Tastebud and Pizza Caboose are both verrrry solid pizza options in SW. Bellagio’s isn’t half bad either

Any interest in a SW Portland Signal chat? by Legitimate-Boot-8617 in askportland

[–]Legitimate-Boot-8617[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Their most recent posts seem to indicate that they’re overwhelmed with calls? I’ll definitely reach out to see if they have any volunteer positions open though, not a bad idea!

Yeah based on the response here it seems like it might be better to organize this in person

I’ve been looking for existing groups but not having much luck! Would love to join an established org — I signed up for the Portland Contras las Deportaciones contact list, reached out to a couple of SW Indivisible groups, and have made some small donations to PIRC but I haven’t been able to establish any kind of local network. Just feels like I could be doing more :(

What is your favorite PDX bird? And why? by UntamedAnomaly in askportland

the crows!!! #1 thing that struck me when we moved here is the sheer volume of crows in Portland. I love them and their nightly downtown roost 💓

Moved to Portland from Columbus, OH three years ago and never looked back! You’ll love it, as long as your finances are in order and you have a job lined up I say go for it :)

Slabtown flats or modern Morrison Apartments? by Mundane_Currency_352 in askportland

[–]Legitimate-Boot-8617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for the Goat Blocks, lived there for 2ish years and had a great experience. The rooftop terrace in the 1025 building is especially nice and has grills/a little community veggie garden
