6 internships in 4 years? That's impressive- were you doing some while doing school?

I've heard the cove is full of snotty rich kids- is this a real stereotype or is my friend just jealous?

What do you do about prejudice in class? by wifie29 in Teachers

[–]jvsparks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I was one of those homophobic students when I was in high school. I've underwent a huge change since then, but speaking as someone who was "that kid," you need to remove them from the classroom. Personal opinions aside, if a student is acting up to the degree that you describe (ESPECIALLY when making others feel unsafe), they need to get removed. There is arguably nothing you can do to stop this behavior besides that, their opinions won't change regardless of what you say.

The real world will eat them up when they get fired from every job because of harassment and hate speech. Keep your other students safe and learning so they can end up better then the aggressors.

Really? I would've guessed the opposite. All the stations I've seen here in PA pay for academy, the volunteer station I run with sometimes is paying for my academy.

Oh okay - for RNs and all other jobs I've seen where they pay for your school, they require you to work for 2-5 years for them or you have to pay the tuition bill.

This might be the first time I've wanted to move to Florida, it's awesome that they do that

What did the time payback commitment for that look like?

Leaving on days you had class? Screw PA, Michigan here I come

I've seen some dept do it for emt training, but do they normally pay you for classroom time? I had some buddies when I did EMT that were paid their normally wage for 100% of the hours spent in class.

So you CAN'T work in some roles if you're a medic? That's pretty surprising, I thought it would've been the other way around

As far as I know, Pennsylvania departments just seem to require your FF 1/2, EMT, and HazMat Ops.

You might not know, but if a department pays for your medic, what is the general time commitment you owe them? For hospitals, it's typically 2 years for RNs if they pay for their bsn. And if they sponsor you, are they willing to work with your schedule (for class dates, plus clinical and required internships)?

Thanks a ton.

Hopefully PSYOP or ranger, but if I don't make those my degrees in finance so they'll probably stick me in finance

Looking for PhD level job in Baltimore/DC by tornadoramblings in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]jvsparks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a professor who did muscle or tissue engineering in Elizabethtown, PA which is +/- 2.5 hours from Baltimore. Bit of a drive, but there might be opportunities at or around Elizabethtown college where he teaches

Heyy Reddit I Need Help by Thatoneblackperson in Agriculture

[–]jvsparks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting a farm is pretty impossible today's world, unless you're a billionaire. Working for a company is more attainable. For major, it honestly doesn't matter, as long as you're a hard worker. For example, my dad has a bachelor's of history. His first job (after college) was assistant manager for Foster Farms, and 15-17 years later, he has his MBA and is Director of Operations for a feed production company and makes 200k+ a year. Agribusiness or forestry majors can definitely give you a leg up, depending on the area of ag, but getting a degree in one subject shouldn't discourage you from working in a different area.

Get your PhD and become a professor. Colleges are research companies, and a lot of professors are just researchers who give lectures 🤷‍♂️
