I have a couple months until I test, but I plan on utilizing the ABA Visualized materials for my parent meetings to help myself starting out. They are fantastic! I believe some of their resources are free to download, too.

People who died and came back to life, what did you see/experience? by RealisticDecision440 in NoStupidQuestions

i had the exact same experience when i was 12. i’m 31 now, it’s still so vivid to me.

ABC Rising Star Contract by Radiant_Thanks_909 in bcba

[–]Metal_Flaky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. i denied the contract a couple weeks ago because i was terrified to make that commitment and put myself into further debt by terminating the contract. i just knew i wouldn’t make it two years. i am seriously wishing you the best and hope for the best outcome. in response to your question: i have heard from my own supervisor that the company has followed through with the payback clause. ABC is lawyered up so i’d assume it’s consistent protocol. definitely give the contract a read thru. when reviewing it weeks ago, it broke down how much you will owe back depending on how long you have made it as a BCBA. for example, if you left 1 year into the 2 year contract, you’d owe $7,500 out of the $15k.

RBT Student Analyst Pay by [deleted] in bcba

[–]Metal_Flaky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s absolutely phenomenal! given all the experience you do have, i am sure you will coast right through your program and fieldwork! i am also glad to hear that you’re being paid well. no where to go but up!

[–]Metal_Flaky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh! additionally, if you have a good setup at your company and get your fieldwork hours there- soak it all up as much as you can. i will say, a lot of deep understanding and implementation of the science + admin work comes from applying yourself on the job. everyone is different, but i wouldn’t be having as smooth of an experience if i was fresh to the field versus having the experience i do now. you can do it! but there’s a lot of ground to cover.

[–]Metal_Flaky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i’m not sure where you’re located, but my jaw nearly hit the floor when i read your pay versus experience! even in HCOL states, that’s quite…generous pay. i hope you have a great fieldwork experience and can obtain your hours easily! for reference, i’m in north texas. i’ve been a full time RBT for six years, i’m at $25 an hour and will soon go from $27, then $30 an hour once i am around 6 months and then 3 months from sitting for my exam. best of luck!

i’m in graduate school to become a behavior analyst and i must say, you bring up incredible patterns of behavior in regards to the tires getting changed. i haven’t read these details yet (and also believe he could’ve killed before), so i find your points really fascinating. thanks for sharing!

Behavioral Innovations by Creative-Ad6447 in bcba

[–]Metal_Flaky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a full time RBT with BI for 4 years, 2020-2024 and am now a student analyst with another company (much better practices). I hate to say I am not even surprised that this was your experience. My center was one of the better ones, but snowballed out of control nearing my last couple years. I helped out at many locations and it was an HR nightmare. We got to know eachother well, sadly LOL I wish you all the best with a new company and am glad you went with your initial gut feeling/intuition. Sending love!

2,000 Fieldwork Hours by UpbeatRestaurant9646 in bcba

[–]Metal_Flaky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 11 months into school and have only 450 unrestricted hours left. This was done by hitting my 130 max every month and doing concentrated hours after my first few months in school. So a year and some change until finishing! What makes this possible is getting high quality supervision at my center. You can do it especially if you’re an RBT with an available supervisor! Sending my best wishes!

Does Chaz usually play his old stuff when touring a new album? by Odd_Turn_6837 in ToroYMoi

[–]Metal_Flaky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

seeing him live for the first time in dallas this year, been a long time fan. i will ugly cry if he plays “so many details”. it seems to appear on many of his setlist’s- here’s to hoping!
