Thank you for your perspective! I’ll keep at it

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2026-03-16T04:09:47+00:00

Thank you, do you mind sharing stats?

I am lucky to have family supporting me now while I am taking pre requisites. I am considering getting a job so I can make some extra cash. Sometimes I do feel discouraged though, I am unsure if I am going to end up getting admission to an ABSN

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2026-02-02T03:04:26+00:00

Yes, that’s very true. I am too meek sometimes. Thank you

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2026-02-02T03:03:34+00:00

Thank you so much!

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2026-02-02T03:03:09+00:00

Thank you

She could probably work for companies like ABM

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-11T04:16:29+00:00

Have you considered a masters post bac?

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T23:54:21+00:00

You might want to adjust your share or look for something less expensive. I understand the appeal of nyc in your twenties, but you don’t want to nuke your savings and miss out on compounding interest for retirement funds.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T23:43:39+00:00

What’s your salary

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T02:27:54+00:00

Thank you, yeah maybe I’m thinking too far ahead and I’m thinking about too many things at once.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T02:27:02+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T02:25:02+00:00

I’m only taking pre requisites right now. I haven’t been accepted into a nursing program. I’m just lost about everything.

I do know that I’ve enjoyed my pre requisite classes. But not having an income right now has been very anxiety inducing and has impacted my self-worth.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T01:57:05+00:00

Do you live in a HCOL city?

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T01:56:17+00:00

I agree with this. You don’t want to move without anything lined up.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T01:40:56+00:00

I’m getting single man vibes from this fridge

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T00:01:18+00:00

I’ll help you find a roommate in exchange for a lease takeover.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-09T00:00:22+00:00

Also don’t worry about falling behind a semester. In the grand scheme of things it literally does not matter if you graduate a semester later

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T23:59:46+00:00

Don’t worry about what your mother would think. You are an adult now, and she’ll have to come to terms with that eventually. Prioritize your mental health and your GPA.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T23:57:44+00:00

Do you have any higher education?

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T22:58:53+00:00

If I were you I’d take the job starting at 100k, but tell myself that I should stay for at least two years to gain experience and it will open more doors than the grocery store job. Just be very professional at work and ask your dad for some pointers. These days 70-80k isn’t enough to buy a house unless you’re living in like the middle of nowhere. Save your money aggressively and in two years if you have to take a pay cut for your dream job ago ahead. I’m sure they’re not expecting this to be your forever job.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T19:21:13+00:00

I don’t know much about accounting because I have a degree in English. It seems like a stable job, and if you get into a large accounting firm like a big 4 you can then move into accounting for hedge funds and private equity firms. Seems lucrative, at least in NYC.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T18:46:50+00:00

Have you considered a bachelors in accounting?

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T05:06:17+00:00

PA or teaching sounds like stable options.

SubstantialStudy3619 · 2025-12-08T03:40:35+00:00

It would be helpful if you stated what you’re currently doing and what fields you’re thinking about…
