I’m joining the ZFlip gang today!

The last Samsung phone I used was a Galaxy S8, and I throughly enjoyed it! After that, I switched to IPhone 11 and 14 plus. Today, I’m switching back to Samsung via the Galaxy ZFlip 3 5G! I know it’s an older model, but does anyone have any tips to make the most out of it?

RRT to Law?

Hello everyone!

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. I'm currently in healthcare, specifically as a Respiratory Therapist. I enjoy what I do, but I've always known I wanted to continue in both my education and my career. I've done tons of research into additional medical paths such as Perfusion, Physician Assistant, and MD/DO. All of these are still under my consideration, but I wanted to see and consider what else is possible. That has brought me to law, of which I admittedly know little about. At baseline, I'm interested in going into either health law (due to my background) or environmental law (due to personal interest). I would like to hear (I suppose read) what input you all may have for me in-terms of what career move does/does not make since, if I should just stick to medicine, etc.

Info:
* 22 - M
* A.A.S in Respiratory Care
* B.S in Respiratory Care
* Currently enrolled at my local university as a "non-degree seeking student" to take upper level courses

What made me want to consider alternative paths?
I like the stability of working in medicine, as well as the consistent pay. I also like that fact that it requires a higher level of clinical thinking and scientific understanding to really be good at it. It is both intellectually and physically stimulating, but we really don't get paid enough for what we deal with and in the case with RT - the options to really do anything else at this level are severely limited. I'm not completely sure how that may change when it comes to law, but it's worth the consideration.

Thank you.

From RT to Health Law?

Hello everyone!

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. I'm currently in healthcare, specifically as a Respiratory Therapist. I enjoy what I do, but I've always known I wanted to continue in both my education and my career. I've done tons of research into additional medical paths such as Perfusion, Physician Assistant, and MD/DO. All of these are still under my consideration, but I wanted to see and consider what else is possible. That has brought me to law, of which I admittedly know little about. At baseline, I'm interested in going into health law because it may offer the ability to advocate for systemic change, influence healthcare policy, and address legal/ethical dilemmas, all of which I've had to deal with in some way - as a beside clinician, especially patient advocacy. So, I would like to hear (I suppose read) what input you all may have for me in-terms of what career move does/does not make since, if I should just stick to medicine, etc.

What made me want to consider alternative paths?
I like the stability of working in medicine, as well as the consistent pay. I also like that fact that it requires a higher level of clinical thinking and anatomy/physiological understanding to really be good at it. It is both intellectually and physically stimulating, but we really don't get paid enough for what we deal with and in the case with RT - the options to really do anything else at this level are severely limited. I'm not completely sure how that may change when it comes to law, but it's worth the consideration.

From RT to Environmental Work

Hello everyone!

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. I'm currently in healthcare, specifically as a Respiratory Therapist. I enjoy what I do, but I've always known I wanted to continue in both my education and my career. I've done tons of research into additional medical paths such as Perfusion, Physician Assistant, and MD/DO. All of these are still under my consideration, but I wanted to see and consider what else is possible. The environment, it's critters, advocating for it, educating about it... it has all always been a passion or desire of mine, but I felt like I couldn't go into it for one reason or another. So, I would like to hear (I suppose read) what input you all may have for me in-terms of what career move does/does not make since, if I should just stick to medicine, etc. Recently, I've been considering becoming a medical or environmental lawyer.

Info:
* 22 - M
* A.A.S in Respiratory Care
* B.S in Respiratory Care
* Currently enrolled at my local university as a "non-degree seeking student" to take upper level courses

What made me want to consider alternative paths?
I like the stability of working in medicine, as well as the consistent pay. I also like that fact that it requires a higher level of clinical thinking and anatomy/physiological understanding to really be good at it. It is both intellectually and physically stimulating, but we really don't get paid enough for what we deal with and in the case with RT - the options to really do anything else at this level are severely limited. I'm aware that low pay for the level of work is pretty much universal, but at least I'd be doing something that feels a little more "worth" it to me? (Not to say medicine isn't worth it, but I personally feel a stronger passion for the environment).

Perhaps what I really need to do is continue in medicine, then just continue my enjoyment of the environment as a hobby, haha

Thank you.

I’ll keep it nice and simple. A few weeks ago I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and talking to a SAW. We’ve been talking consistently and seem to have a lot in common, we make each other laugh, all the classic signs to ask someone out. I have confirmed that she would say yes if I asked her out, so I’m not fearful of that aspect. Rather, I don’t know if I should ask because of future implications.

By that, I mean the reaction from her family and my own. We’re both no religious and perhaps that’s too far out to consider, but it’s still a relevant factor I think. My family would be fine for the most part, but it’s hers that I worry about. Culturally, for SA folks, I know it can be seen as taboo or bad to be with a BM, and I wouldn’t want to risk our relationship (romantic or otherwise) due to that stigma. I may just ask her about it during our date…

But I could have phrased this better, but I think the point I’m trying to make comes across all the same. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Edit: I should add, I live in Maryland.
