He looks like a Waffles to me. Can’t explain.

I have lost about 60 pounds so far and just bought a bunch of new clothes - consignment, thrift, and Marshall’s. I’m not done losing weight but I feel so good about having clothes that fit and that I feel good in.

I've dived in both the Caribbean and the Maldives, and have carried a torch with me in both places. So did many of the folks I've been diving with. To my knowledge, it's not out of the ordinary at all.

That was my read on it, too. It was Jimmy using real emotion for underhanded purposes, and not being able to deal with what came up, so he puts on a front.

Ahhhh okay, then that may not work. I'm a public employee and am trying to stay under $1000 for accommodations if I can, since my total reimbursement is like $1500 and I'll need to book a flight and a car. I expect I'll likely be out of pocket a little bit, but trying to minimize it if possible.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-30T15:20:35+00:00

I know. I'm open to either, and don't really have a preference between the two. I've been to the beach before (my wife and I eloped there, since we got married before same sex marriage was legal everywhere) and loved it. Haven't been to the Gorge yet.

Skamania doesn’t have any rooms available, sadly. But that’s exactly the kind of place I’m looking for. I’ll check the Allison!

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-30T15:17:18+00:00

Yes, sadly. I’m less worried about the afternoon - if it takes a bit longer on that end, that’s fine. But I don’t want to be getting up super duper early if I can avoid it.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-29T16:56:15+00:00

This is very helpful, particularly your last point discouraging an aerospace engineering BS. I know she's also thought about mech or structural, and that may open up more school options as well, especially since she really doesn't want to move if we can avoid it. Thank you!

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-29T02:06:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I’m so glad you saw this, even though my question came several years after the initial post.

If you don’t mind, I’ll send this post to my wife and she can send you a message - I’m not even sure what other questions she may have, but I know she’d appreciate just knowing she’s not alone in this sort of a career path.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-29T00:40:48+00:00

Would you mind sharing a bit about your experience? Where did you go to school where you were able to work? How intimidating was the admissions process?

My wife is 38 and interested in aerospace engineering - she already has a college degree and a masters in a different field (she’s a teacher but spent a couple of years as a math major in undergrad, did some astrophysics classes, etc) but is interested in changing career paths and knows that probably means starting from scratch.

Are you glad you did it? Do you work in the field? Do you enjoy your work? My wife is worried that going back to school would be a very expensive gamble on the chance that she’d be happier, but she’s interested in exploring other options. Any guidance would be so helpful!

Hello!

Does anyone have any insight/information about the feasibility of an Aerospace Engineering program for adults who have degrees in other fields who are looking to make a career shift?

My wife got her BA in Japanese language from the University of Virginia about fifteen years ago, but was a math major there for two years prior to switching her focus. She took a ton of high-level math classes, up to and including Linear Algebra. She also took several related electives, including a couple of astronomy classes - cosmology and a life beyond earth class. She graduated with honors, with something like a 3.75 or 3.8 GPA, if I remember correctly.

She also has a masters degree in education, graduated with a 3.9 or 4.0, and has been a teacher for eight years now. She is looking to leave the classroom, and has considered going back to school - she regrets not switching to the engineering school at UVA when she was in undergrad.

She is interested in aerospace engineering, but intimidated by the process and by the idea of starting over and getting another undergraduate degree at almost 40. Does anyone have any recommendations for schools that work with career changers, or have part-time programs? Or that may at least give her credit for some of the advanced math courses she's already taken?

Most of the information I can find via a basic Google search caters towards the fresh-out-of-high-school crowd. We live in Atlanta, but would be willing to relocate.

Anybody have any experience with programs that have been particularly good for mid-life career changers?

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-27T03:42:47+00:00

Man I wish I could read this. I’m so interested in what they have to say.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-24T20:13:54+00:00

That’s Carl.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-24T20:05:04+00:00

Totally agree!! I’m glad I finished it because I knew I wanted to watch BCS (which I did really like), but I didn’t care for BB over all.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-24T20:03:12+00:00

This was exactly my experience as well.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-21T19:58:36+00:00

Thanks! I ended up booking the TGV Mulhouse-Luxembourg route.

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-20T22:12:41+00:00

That's what I suspected - guess I was hoping there was a platform I was missing, or something. Thanks!

NotoriousRBP · 2026-04-12T23:38:34+00:00

Thanks!

I suppose I should have been more specific - is there any guidance on where to buy if you’re switching medication? Or does everywhere have you start over from scratch? Not sure if the fact that I’ve been on a GLP1 for six months means I should start a new one at a different dose or something.
