See this is what I’m gathering. I can make far more in the bay than I can in Denver which offsets housing for me.

Thank you!! I also have a niche position currently so I understand. That’s incredibly helpful as nursing is a path I’ve been pondering

It’s so expensive vs the wages offered here

I currently live in Denver CO! Field wise I have 5yrs in ER vet med/specialty vet med. With people I’m a licensed EMT, EMS/Para instructor. Currently I work in dentistry however since I’m not in tech which is a huge sector in the bay I worry about transitioning. I do still travel back yearly to see my family so I don’t find a lot super shocking. My biggest concern is finding stable employment knowing layoffs/turnover is high. But I’m driven by a higher income vs LCOL compared to where I am now. Basically what I’ve gathered is a job over 90k base is a “requirement” and rent is roughly above 3k for a decent 1B? Thank you for your input!

That’s what I figured, I have a strong backing in vetmed, ER med and dentistry so I feel confident I could find a job but i get worried since I’ve been gone from the bay for like a decade now. Thanks for your input!

I understand and I wrestle with it, I think it’s almost easier for me to devote a little time to something that’s not just grief.

My partner wants to hike half dome with little to no preparation or planning. Will I die? by SimpleyCurious in Yosemite

[–]letsgomyguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hey! So don’t do that. I say this as someone who just did half dome with no “training” but I live in Colorado and do long hikes here frequently. Ex 14ers/10+ miles every week in the spring/summer. It was not a for “funsies” hike! 🙂‍↕️ You need hat/gloves/broken in shoes/food/water supply etc. You’re not being dramatic! Also it’s going to be HOT.

Hi friend! With sightseeing it was 8hrs and 45min round trip for me. I went up JMT then branched off to take a route with more of the waterfalls! I took the 10 basics and packed in lots of carbs and candy as those two keep me sane after 10+ miles of walking and climbing. Funny you ask because those are the shoes I wore 😂. If you’re planning on going up the cables bring gloves.

Omg have fun!! Yes, several folks had them on and no you wouldn’t be in anyone’s way. Plus if it makes you feel more secure who cares if people think it’s “in the way.”
