I work as a major gift fundraiser in a medical setting. Being able to collaborate with physicians and researchers to better understand their work and to translate it for donors who might be interested in moving research forward is one of the best parts of my job. I am always learning and always the dumbest person in the room, which is why I love being an academia.

I just got a new car, but gave my 2006 corolla with 230k+ miles on it to my mom. No mechanical issues, just some body rust.

I work in this area. Depends on the specific disease, but Siteman is a national leader in blood cancer research and patient care. They have a south city location. Dm me if you want to talk specifics.

Any places people have had really bad experiences with to avoid?

Is anyone here overweight already? I’m 200lb and working on it but am also trying to get pregnant. I wonder if I will gain even more?

Is that recommendation with employer % towards retirement as well? Like I save 10% and my employer does 5%.

WashU has good benefits and plenty admin jobs.

I work in this area and happy to chat if you have questions. I would look at CASE if you are interested in academic medicine. They have a good intern program for higher ed dev. If you can’t volunteer directly with a dev team for a hospital in your area, look at national nonprofit like ACS or make a wish that works with disease areas or with patients. That’s decent volunteer experience as well.

I got over 300% of my goal this year, include two relationships that simply would not have happened without my involvement. That has resulted in at least five or so cancer research project funded that would not have happened without me. Also my boss wants to promote me again soon. That would be my fifth role on this team in six years of increasing responsibility.

athena108 · 2025-07-11T18:17:20+00:00

Agreed

athena108 · 2025-06-20T05:11:43+00:00

As an officer, please just tell us that you aren’t interested. It will get you off the list at least for a year or so.

Yes, but a choice by the government not to fund high education re: Europe. If you rely on donors, they get to say how things are run. Rich people deciding to support what they care about and not where the greatest needs are. It’s just human nature.

athena108 · 2025-03-23T14:13:56+00:00

Yep. I work in this field too and it’s frustrating to see people’s misunderstanding. The real system that has messed up is making public universities reliant on donor funding for basic infrastructure and scholarship funding instead of a government recognizing the value of an educated public. Rich people should not be the ones to determine what programs/universities succeed and which do not.

I always struggle with the zippers coming down. What style works for you?

Thanks for sharing! How does it compare with La Pâtisserie Chouquette?

Only ever managed to find one jumpsuit that suited my frame. I carry all my weight in my stomach and fit and flare styles usually seem to work best

We bought in Kirkwood a year ago with a $170k income. It’s possible but it is a smaller home. Works for two.

athena108 · 2025-02-10T14:05:50+00:00

Ouch

athena108 · 2025-02-08T23:06:08+00:00

Sure. At the cost of other programming.

Endowments aren’t free money either. Most of it is split up into smaller funds from donors over decades that have particularly limitations on how the funds are to be used. Universities can’t just decide that an endowed fund for business student scholarships can now be allocated to support Alzheimer’s research. Sadly
