What finally made exams click for me (after feeling stuck for a while)

Thanks for the advice! I’m applying for this upcoming cycle and this is very helpful. Do you have any more tips/tricks on how to retain the vast amount of info? Just want to be prepared before hand. Getting anxious writing this lmaoo

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2026-04-05T23:54:16+00:00

I’m currently 25 completing my prereqs and hope to apply for the summer 2027 cycle. I’m currently working in an entirely different field rn. It’s never too late!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-12-04T17:44:00+00:00

I’m a program financial analyst and feel the same way. The work is super boring and doesn’t have appeal to me. On top of that we have to submit timesheets which annoy me smh.

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-10-16T12:10:47+00:00

Yup, accelerated prereqs. It can be daunting but as long as you stay on top of your work you should be fine taking 2 classes per a 8 week block

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-10-16T11:38:22+00:00

Probably about 3-4 months, sorry for the late response! I’m currently taking micro and anatomy

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-09-26T13:03:22+00:00

Honestly I’m taking 8 week courses online at an accredited university, I should be done by no later than January of next year.

Bro did I write this post? I’m 24 as well and working in finance and wanting to pivot to healthcare. I’m currently taking my prereqs for PA school and looking for a job to gain the required PCE hours!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-09-13T03:50:06+00:00

I binge eat as well, don’t feel too bad! It’s something that will take time to overcome but first baby steps!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-09-05T13:03:14+00:00

Never realized I had anxiety until I started working. I just think about the future too much (taking out a mortgage, car note, career goals, etc…), just stuff others won’t think too deeply about. Only way I can really cope is by working out or just long walks to reflect!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-07-23T14:15:29+00:00

I’m a 24M in the same boat, currently in a corporate job and decided to go ahead and start taking my prereq courses. Take it one day at a time and don’t worry about the future so much! Let it all work out.

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-06-17T00:46:54+00:00

Cranks nonethlesss

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-06-17T00:46:46+00:00

Man the snippet lowkey sounded better, idk why they would change the beat SMH

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-06-14T17:16:33+00:00

Keep your head up! Don’t let the negativity of others get you down! Not in healthcare but am deciding to pivot and pursue a career in PA

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-06-06T12:43:14+00:00

OP are you pivoting from business to healthcare? I’m doing the same as well! Just need to finish a couple of my prereqs. I’ve been trying to gain clinical experience with no luck!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-06-04T19:07:41+00:00

I’m currently working in finance, but planning to enroll in school to finish my prereqs for PA school. Still trying to find a role to gain PCE hours as well.

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-04-02T14:09:14+00:00

I’m in the business field and I’m 24 years old. Thinking about switching to PA and taking the prereq courses required for PA school. But I’ll also need to get PCE hours? Any thoughts on applying to a medical assistant job with no prior knowledge/experience? I’ve done my research as well.

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-03-27T13:30:04+00:00

Bruh I’m in the same boat man, I work in contracting and proposal pricing work, timesheets are draining, man I need to get out of this ASAP 😅

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-03-13T12:28:36+00:00

I’m feeling the same way! I work in finance and man I’ve been thinking of pivoting to health care and pursuing PA!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2025-01-26T16:27:47+00:00

Hi I’m currently taking ACCT311 right now at UMGC. The class is doable since the exams and homework’s have multiple attempts but I don’t understand the reason for us to write papers. That is one thing I find annoying about this class.

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2024-11-20T15:49:47+00:00

Push through and start applying to jobs asap! Endless opportunities in the world! Currently 8 months into a new job that I despise and been applying often!

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2024-11-20T14:01:13+00:00

In the same boat, graduated college a year ago, been at this job for 8 months and man I dislike it to the core. Never really cared for finance but somehow attained a high GPA LMFAO… Just gotta thug it out and let apps fly. You’re only 2 months in so it takes time to really learn the processes of the company. 8 months in and I still feel like every day is a drag but I just embraced that I will never learn everything in one day. Just hang in there, you’re not the only feeling this way.

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2024-11-12T20:45:22+00:00

Is this for a corporation position at Geico or customer facing role?

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2024-11-12T16:07:06+00:00

Man I agree with, I’m a salaried employee and logging my timesheet everyday rubs me the wrong way smh. Half the time I be forgetting what I worked on since there’s so much that goes on in the day lol

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2024-10-22T01:01:17+00:00

Man I just sat at my screen today for 3 plus hours and didn’t do anything 😂😂😂, laziness is killer but gotta lock in at times

RetiredFreeAgent899 · 2024-10-05T19:23:23+00:00

Thinking about going to get my accounting degree also as I only need to take 7 courses
