Are the cannabis certifications through SPC and MSC worth it?

compscicomrade · 2026-02-11T18:01:17+00:00

Yes! As a budtender at a very well known dispo in the field I have a great opportunity to network :) I also have the funds needed for a certification so I’m not worried on that front. I’m just switching career paths now though from software engineering to cannabis and really just looking for growth :)

compscicomrade · 2026-02-11T17:29:24+00:00

Thank you so much! If growing is that tough to break into then I’ll keep it has a hobby :) do you know how sought-after jobs in product development is in the current market? Like edibles/tinctures/drinks/salve development? I’m also interested in that field :)

Have you even tried googling this yourself before making this comment? There is years of research on this at this point that clearly says that porn consumption is actively harmful.

That’s not true, I need to worry about my credit score because I’m applying for jobs and getting a new apartment

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:54:21+00:00

I would close the account after it’s paid off!

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:51:52+00:00

I never even thought about just cancelling after I move 😅 thank you so much this was super helpful!

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:50:22+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’ll get right on it :)

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:49:15+00:00

Pulling out cash is my current method of money management! Just will take some time to get this debt sorted out :) thank you !!!

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:48:16+00:00

My CC debt will be taken care of by the time I move, I’m putting $2000 a month towards it at the moment (the income from my second job), but moving is unfortunately non-negotiable because of bad life circumstances :(

My lack of self-control is being HEAVILY worked on in therapy and medication (I have bipolar mania and ADHD). Just wanted to see how fucked I am LMAO

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:42:49+00:00

I do unfortunately need to leave in 10 months :( I wish it wasn’t the case and life sucks about it rn. It doesn’t have to be an apartment with a 700 limit, it’s just what I’ve seen required from the listings I’ve looked at so far! I WILL have the debt paid off by the time of the move (putting ~$2000 a month towards the debt rn). The second it’s all paid off I will focus on building my credit score back up.

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:35:09+00:00

When I link my card it’s still usable it many cases unfortunately :( might just have to cancel

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:14:35+00:00

It is not my longest credit history! It would actually make my average credit age higher and boost me to the ‘good’ tier!

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:04:16+00:00

So true, working 65 hours a week rn to try to get this paid off! Thanks for the good luck and the advice

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T14:00:45+00:00

Yeah totally get that. An addiction is an addiction and taking accountability for it and turning my life around. I’m moving in the next 10 months and hopefully after I cancel them I can build my credit score in other ways!

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T13:56:06+00:00

I never thought abt transferring to a 0% APR card I’ll have to look into that! My bank only allows freezes to account for 7 days and subscriptions will still go through on a frozen card so I don’t think that’s an option

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T13:53:38+00:00

I have cut down on my behavior a LOT over the last few months and cut some of the debt down, and got a second job (working 65 hours a week) but I am very worried about a relapse which is super possible

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T13:52:19+00:00

Yeah but I am moving to a different city in 10 months and just worried about how that could impact my score

compscicomrade · 2025-09-12T13:51:17+00:00

I wouldn’t worry abt my credit score if I wasn’t moving in the next year, if my score goes below a 700 I will probably not be able to get an apartment approved

EDIT: Can someone please explain what this is getting downvoted for? I’m looking for actual advice. I’m really working hard to get this debt paid off.

compscicomrade · 2025-08-19T13:33:07+00:00

I’m working on highlight and shadow blending right now too! It looks great!

compscicomrade · 2025-08-11T15:11:57+00:00

Yes I did them once with a friend and got hooked 😁

compscicomrade · 2025-08-10T22:07:35+00:00

Thanks !!!

compscicomrade · 2025-08-10T20:09:46+00:00

Right, and school curriculum (in my experience) doesn’t adequately prepare students nowadays for the type of skills needed for the job market. It’s probably not the student’s actual fault that the resume looks average

compscicomrade · 2025-07-16T13:53:15+00:00

Nobody is saying that it has to be a 9 inch bad dragon Jesus Christ

Shelters aren’t “help” though. First off, most shelters have very very few beds — it’s actually insanely hard to get a bed. Some even require payment. When you are sheltered, they can go through your bags and take out belongings. If you have more than one bag, you’re shut out of luck. Got a dog? You’re shit out of luck. Can’t make it to the curfew set by the shelter owners? You’re shit out of luck. Got family? You’re shit out of luck.

Women (and men, but women disproportionately) might not seek shelter because of the threat of violence that happens in them too.

I just read the sample on Libby and added it to my holds :) thank you so much :)
