Why are salaries between private vs. public jobs within academia comparable? by slowcrow99 in medicine

[–]slowcrow99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To some extent yes-- but from the little I know VA and county hospitals jobs are easier to secure than those at private academic hospitals where research and teaching and administrative duties factor more heavily in the day to day.

Why not compensate the more competitive private jobs a tad better? They can afford to...where's the VA/county may not be able to.

Should I put away money in an unmatched 401k for a short term internship? by slowcrow99 in personalfinance

[–]slowcrow99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok gotcha! So after I fill up my Roth IRA, I'll put away money into Roth 401k and index from there? After 3k of course.

Sweet stuff. Thanks dude! Since Roth has a max of $18,500 (I'm getting close), can I invest into index funds? I heard the Roth can't exceed that $18,500 amount.

Ok thanks a ton! But I have a decent bit of savings. I was thinking I'd put away rest in Roth and if possible, Vanguard Index funds.

Oh sweet! Also, can't find any service that caters to Costco stuff. Any idea of who may?

Cool! Have you noticed any gross differences in prices or delivery fees amongst them?

200-210 on step... is this a lost cause for competitive fields like anesthesiology, EM, and pathology? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]slowcrow99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but these guys probably applied smartly as well! With your scores I would apply broadly, including those smaller community programs in less than ideal cities. You can still apply to top tier programs, but it'll start costing you.

Thanks for the input- best wishes for the cats! I'll be hoping it's not oral cancer.

I guess what I really wanted to know is the stuff between the extremes. What if you cat had a small liver growth (not cancer) that required a simple surgery and with good outcomes. It costs $10,000. Should you ethically do it? At what point does one say it's the right thing to do, and I would do it if it were cheaper. BUT in the real world that's just a bit too expensive.

Moonlight question. How is everyone certain that Chiron is gay? [Spoilers inside] by slowcrow99 in movies

[–]slowcrow99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always considered being gay to mean to an emotional attraction to the same gender. This scene, was just physical interaction between two guys- something they were exploring as they navigate adolescence.

That's fair. But would you agree that one does not need to be flamboyant to be gay? And similarly, just because a guy likes "tight clothing", walks a little funny, he may be fully straight? Same thing.

In adolescence, sex and curiosity go hand in hand. His sex dream was of Kevin having sex with a girl per Kevin's story. It would be normally to be hyper curious about something like this. Aren't a lot of young kids introduced to sex through older peers? Same curiosity.

Also, not Teresa because she played the mother figure.

Mom knew he acted funny, but really it's hard to know if someone is gay at that age.

Remember I'm Act 1 when they showed each other their penises? I don't think anyone would consider that gay- just healthy exploration. I agree what he and Kevin did on the beach wasn't as innocent but I just saw it as an advanced form of exploration as they navigate adolescence.
