I have been searching for episodes from this series for quite some time. Particulary season 2, an episode called "Candy Drive".

Here is the IMDB that lists all the episodes. It's also featured on PLEX website but says "There are no locations currently available for this title".

I'd be very curious to find our if at one point this show was on any streaming platform, and if the complete series exists anywhere. To my knowlege there was never a VHS or DVD release, only bootlegs of a few episodes.

It was produced by Lorimar/Screen Gems, the same group as the Partridge Family. Not sure when the last time rereuns were shown on TV if they were at anytime.

In 2026. New England is where I grew up all my life.

The story that has been told to me is that "Unless you inherit a farm up here, the cost of land is far too high in this part of the country."

Has anyone in the last 10-15 years started a farm in Mass from nothing that became profitable enough to live comfortably on solely that income? Am I better off moving to another part of the country?

I have found this often.

For some reason when meeting with admissions or counseling, it seems colleges these days offer general advice but don't want to tell students what they should major in or what classes to register in based on their career aspirations.

Almost like they do not want to be held accountable if it doesn't work out. You don't know how many times I've heard... "I wish someone had told me to pick this major and now I want to switch".

Even though college students are now technically adults, I feel they shouldn't be left to themselves to make decisions. With the cost of tuition these days, college admissions should be more able to help students and tell them it's a bad idea. My parents (love them) but were completely clueless about college.

I just get this general vibe that many admissions counselors are told not to speak their personal opinions to students. I've never been told by an admissions counselor or academic advisor "that is a bad idea" and wish I had.

It doesn't take a lot of work to research what degrees are more likely to make you succeed in the job market. Just something I've been curious about.

I was reading this old thread

I want to work in Waste Management

I came across landfill gas management and it's posted in a lot of geology subs and forums online.

Question about qualifications. My undergrad is environmental science. Do these jobs require a geology major or a stronger knowledge of earth science?

It seems like it has a lot of field work which is what I'm looking for. Have worked in wasterwater before so have plant experience.

Anyone in this field and have experience on what candidates they are looking for? I.E. landfill capital construction, routine monitoring/compliance, etc... Fixing bad landfills via good gas system design, building new cells that drain well and making high quality methane for LFG, etc.

Just my opinion and it's not speaking from a negative viewpoint. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have majored in environmental science as my undergrad. I don't want to say it but it's almost a degree I wish schools stopped teaching.

I feel like ES (science/studies) degrees make you overqualified for jobs that require no qualifications, and underqualified for jobs that require specific qualifications. It really is such a broad degree and does not put you at a competitive advantage.

B.S Geology/Earth Science
B.S Marine Biology
B.S. Biology/microbiology
B.S. Forestry
B.S. Hydrology
B.S. Electrical/civil/chem engineering
B.S. Nuclear engineering
B.S Atmospheric/meteorology
B.S Agriculture

I have always felt that these degrees look way stronger on a resume. If you're unsure of your career path and don't want to select something too specific, choose an undergrad with enough science or math courses like Bio or Physics and minor in environmental or do that during your M.S. or PhD.

Geologists... why hire an environmental scientist when I can hire a geology major?

Marine biology... I'm going to select the candidate with a marine biology degree. School: "We won't let you get a masters in MB without a biology undergrad".

Forestry... "Your ES degree did not contain enough forestry classes to satisfy our standards".

Hydrology... "I studied wetlands science..." But do you have a civil engineering or earth science degree?

Environmental testing... "We're really looking for someone that majored in microbio or chem eng. But good luck!"

Green energy (solar, wind, nuclear, hydro)... Were you in the Navy... do you have an electrical engineering degree?

Wastewater... "I have an ES degree"... but do you have plumbing, electrical, or plant experience? What about civil engineering? No, next!

Meteorology... "Sorry, your degree is too broad that did not contain enough atmospheric science classes. Do you have a pilot's license?"

I'm getting some mixed signals.

I'm majoring in geology. About to graduate with my undergrad. Getting M.S. in environmental science.

I've been reading through Reddit forums that dewatering/geowatering positions are very niche and 90% of not what companies need.

The people that work on mining sites, construction sites, industrial plants etc. and control the ground water to make sure it doesn't flood.

Then I read on google that "Top-tier dewatering technicians, particularly those in specialized, high-demand, or remote FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) positions, can earn significant salaries, with top-level seniority potentially reaching over $177,000 per year."

What is the truth about dewatering jobs? Half of people are calling them unneeded and avoid because they are too niche, and other half say it's a great longterm career that would be related to an environmental degree.

Do you need hydrology or engineering degrees? Lead dewatering technician overseeing projects and design of ground water systems.

Long story short, I'm interested in entering a career that is involved with nuclear reprocessing, and the management and transportation of nuclear waste. I.E. Bringing new ideas to the table, designing and managing waste systems.

However I never obtained a degree in nuclear or mech engineering. My degrees are Environmental Science undergrad and M.S. in sustainable systems and energy management. This area really interested me.

I was once considering working in solid waste management, but then thought about what career opportunities exist for people involved with monitoring and handling nuclear waste in the environmental aspect.

Are careers limited and/or do they require engineering degrees?

Let me paraphrase my thoughts and just say, after having gone through many career choices I really have double downed on wanting to pursue dentistry.

What I have found out of all the career school choices, that dental and med school is in fact the most simplest and straightforward to be accepted into.

I struggled with this for someone that originally thought I wanted to be an engineer. I have a 4.0 GPA in environmental science. There are hundreds of post-bacc med and dental certificate programs that allow you to take your missing prereqs. Med and dental schools are not picky in regards to what your undergrad was for the most part. If you score high on the DAT and have solid grades, you actually have a pretty good chance at schools accepting you. For example Harvard University even has extension school.

For other STEM careers I have found they are way more pickier about what your degree was and what classes you take in your bachelors. There are not really post-bacc programs for other STEM majors (I.E. nuclear engineering, geology, hydrology, mechanical engineering, chem engineering)

Out of all the schools I applied to for different careers I was once interested in, dental and med schools were the only ones to reply back immediately. I don't believe people give that enough thought or consideration. My undergrad was environmental science and now I'm applying to dental schools and taking the DAT. That is something I really respect about the medical and dental community. They give everyone the opportunity to pursue.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads right now and don't know what to do.

I am about to complete an undergrad in environmental science. 4 years ago I had no idea what I wanted to do. Now I realize that geology is something I'm passionate about. Problem is my degree contained no geo classes.

Now I'm a bit stuck. Graduated with 4.0 GPA but can't get into any masters programs because they require a geo background and want a relevant undergrad, and I don't want to have to get a second bachelors.

Any reccomendations?

trying to put my family together, but I've sort of hit a pothole.

Margaret E. Healy (maiden name) is listed as the mother, born Aug 4th 1892 in Passaic NJ. On her gravestone and oh obituary she died Oct 2nd 1952.

Her daughter in records is listed as Rousseau in the obituary. In immigration papers it lists her DOB of Helen E. Rousseau as March 23, 1899. She's burried with her "mother". On same gravestone it lists day she died but no birthdate. April 4th, 1954.

What could this mean? Is it possible she was a stepchild from another marriage? Why would it list her sisters then all from the same father?

I've always been interested about the history of enforcing traffic laws.

Today in many states if you get three speeding citations in more than a two-year period, you lose your license.

Watching old movies from the 70s in the 80s, there's the cliché joke of someone opening up theur glove compartment and out falls 20 or 30 unpaid speeding tickets.

Was there once a time in history where drivers would keep getting speeding tickets over and over again and not lose their license?

A few have reccomended to me schools or colleges that offer classes.

I'm surprised to not see many private classes being offered by jewlers in my area. I live outside Boston. Guitar lessons, piano lessons but not this.

Any reccomendations for the Northeast? I would legit be willing to pay for private lessons and even supply my own rough gems.

Question out there for you geos.

I'm finishing a bachelors in environmental science and interested in pursuing a masters in geology.

Being out in the field and chasing minerals is something that highly interests me. I'm also interested in a stable paycheck.

I'm not sure how that usually works. If I would be an independent contractor most of the time, or a full time employee with benefits.

I'm not so much interested in knowing how many you make as that varies greatly depending on circumstance, but I value stability more. I don't want to be constantly chasing and struggling to find work. Curious to hear other experiences out there.

Correct me if wrong.

It appears that Dr Squatch just reformulated their deodorants to a gel instead of powder.

I really liked it except, after wearing it for a day I felt that my armpits stung bad. I sort of like the way the other deodorants acted even though the new products are less messy.

Anyone else try out the new formula?

This is sort of the strangest thing that has ever happened to me.

I couldn't understand why my uploaded video from my iPhone that has HDR turned off, was not staying a consistent brightness.

Then I looked over at my brightness controls. During playback all of the settings are changing rapidly in real time, bars moving back and fourth.

Can't get it to stop. Tried making a new project, reinstalling. It does that to all my uploaded clips. Almost like an auto exposure turned on. What is this?

I live in Mass.

There are online enthusiasts. A lot who live out in desert on the West Coast and Mexico that hunt for gem stones and rocks and resell them online. I thought this would make a great hobby taking my geological skills and combine passion to make some side income.

Most places I have found in Mass and New Hampshire don't allow commercial mining unless you own the land and it's private property. Where do people actually go in New England where you won't get in trouble with the law for doing this?

Looking for fun recommendations for pay to mine private parks where you can find serious enough deposits to start a small side business. Does anything like that exist out here?
