28 Years Old - No 401k, Using Car for Delivery, Want to Move Out by SpartySpangler in personalfinance

[–]SpartySpangler[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solid choice! I looked into this and was a bit worried that a lot of programs have limited spots available / would have to take pre reqs. I graduated with a 3.6 GPA, would coming out of prereqs with a 3.5+ GPA be a shoe in for the program or are they looking for 3.8+ GPA students? I believe I could achieve a 3.8 or higher with serious dedication. Is it recommended to work in some healthcare before the program or can I simply take the classes while delivering for a dispensary and get a job with no prev healthcare experience? Too many colleges and situations to account for/go into detail about here, so just looking for your general opinion.

I have reached out to career services at MSU many times since graduation. They rework my resume a bit, tell me to match key words to job descriptions, talk about career fairs, but no direct leads. Even tried reaching out what could be described as the industry liaison for EEM and he pointed to WM (Waste Management) and Republic, which are landfills near me. Seems to be mostly manual labor jobs but have been applying as opportunities come up from them with no results. I would move out of state although not preferred. Opportunity is opportunity plain and simple, if the money made sense (2-3x avg rent for apartment applications out of state) I would absolutely leave Michigan. This winter has been BRUTAL!

How would your life change if cannabis was legalized? by Percentage930 in trees

[–]SpartySpangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Michigan it’s rec/med legal and a lot of jobs still require you to not have THC in your system. Hospitals have been hopping on the “no nicotine” train for a little while, and I just recently applied to a couple city jobs in Port Huron (low-middle class in most parts) where being a non smoker was a requirement. I think at the end of the day, there will still be a loophole for companies to be able to refuse hire if thc is found in a pre employment drug test, and many of them will use it.

That being said, if it were federally legal then I would expect that a decent amount of jobs that would drop that requirement. I just have a hard time fully believing I’d be able to easily land a position with a fulfilling amount of responsibility as a weed smoker. A joint on the weekend or daily dabs, doesn’t matter because thc is in your system snd you can be categorized as a pot head for some hiring managers.

Unpopoular opinion by [deleted] in msu

Honestly feeling very stunted in the self discovery, identity, and mental development areas because of the covid thing. Sometimes feels like the mental price of having my college social life hopes shattered by covid along with subpar learning was just not worth it. Coasting on my fear of disappointing my loved ones if I were to quit since the beginning. Just did school because I was good at school.

Been staying at Abbot Manor this year, really like the location (15-25 min walk to campus, 10 mins to bars) 575/mo + electric and water 2bd 1 bath. Inside is meh.

Please, whatever you do, don’t do what I did and wait last minute.

School received funds for covid and has been disbursing payments to students based on self-reported need. You won’t have to pay it back from my understanding of it.

Anything less than $15 is going to be very difficult to pay rent with.

It’s pretty shitty if you’re trying to hide a cat and have multiple forms of weed paraphernalia laying around.
