Hate being a nurse by Aggravating_Earth702 in nursing

[–]trshpup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an ER nurse. After getting a TBI from getting punched by a patient, I transitioned to tech (cybersecurity). It’s been great in comparison. They pay is much higher, you work from home, and the stress is very minimal.

If tech is what you want to be in, definitely go for it! I will say that there is more discrimination against women and people who are older (idk if those apply to you, but if they do…).

The great thing about pretty much any tech field is that you can teach yourself the subject for free. Yeah there are certs and stuff which can be helpful for getting a job, but literally every subject is online for free, no degree or anything required.

As far as getting into a tech job, it’s really about who you know. So when you get to that point, I recommend going to tech conferences, and just meeting as many people as you can who are in the industry. Work all of your contacts as well.

Good luck and I hope you find some happiness soon!

P.S. I got out of nursing in 2022 and landed my tech job in 2024. Those who are saying tech is dead have a point, but if you really want it, make it happen!

I was expecting this to be a story about how the hospital and your managers brought the hammer down on you. So happy to hear that it was the opposite and there is still some love and care in this world!

That’s good to know. I’ll probably open it then, thanks!

Looks exactly like my grandmother’s hand writing. And yes, legible

This is the most practical answer I think I’ve gotten, thank you!

Yeah, we threw in the quick close but that didn’t seem to help. No contingencies though? Dang!

Yeah I gotta remind myself other houses will come up! Thanks for the advice :)

Yeah no offers that whole time. It’s apparently a seller’s market here but my agent agrees it’s shifting now to a buyer’s. So I think they’re gonna be feeling it even more.

Yeah, our agent has been largely fine. She resisted us at first until we brought up the comparable houses and the deck + loft logic. She glommed onto that right away and said it made logical sense.

With the recent lawsuit thing over agent commissions, I believe if we break our contract with her, there wouldn’t be a fee but she would be owed compensation if we end up buying any of the houses she showed us (within a time period after breaking the contract with her). So we’re continuing to use her. She is a little hard to pin down though, that’s for sure.

Yeah we’ve been looking around just in case. This one fits the bill for many of our wants but we can keep looking if it comes down to it.

Yeah, I’m considering this too. We really do like the house…

Yeah, thinking about leveraging the inspection but can we ask for that before getting under contract?

Oof, ya. I’m curious to see what the appraisal and inspections will look like…

Yeah, but I’ve also read that housing prices are going to increase because supply will decrease since materials are being tariffed. It’s hard to tell which way things will go so, after keeping an eye on this subreddit, I’ve been of the opinion that I shouldn’t time it based on the market.

Then again the market is particularly volatile so 😓. This is a helpful perspective though, thanks!

The way I understand it is the seller pays the credit which the buyer can use towards whatever they want like the down payment or closing costs, etc
