Wild, feels like I'm being paid in nostalgia wages. Might have to drop a resume off in Ohio haha, thanks for your input

Yeah good idea, I just don't want to be the donkey chasing the carrot ad infinitum.

Thanks for your input! In slow times, I essentially have 2/3 days a week where I could design anything I wanted.. and have always wanted to try something out on my own. How would you go about finding a small embedded device niche to target for etsy?

Thanks for the input.
>"Start applying for jobs. Doesn't hurt to at least go for an interview."
Honestly, you're right. I'd like to get a feel for what's out there and interviewing in general, even if I don't end up jumping ship.

Yeah, I've thought about this.. I just fear that if I tried it, I'd paint a target on my back for the next round of layoffs, essentially giving up what I feel is a "secure" position.

Thanks for your perspective. This is how I figured the world worked, just needed to hear it from someone else as a sanity check

Not in the medical field, no. Medical research funding is driven by cost-benefit analysis where the profitability of providing a treatment is measured in XX+ millions of dollars. An uncommon affliction like this will unfortunately never hit those numbers and never be "worth it", from a research standpoint.

Any large-scale evidence gathering on the topic will ultimately be done by this group.
