I currently work as an orthodontic assistant and have started to LOVE teeth it fascinates me, I went to trade school to my journey on becoming an electrician, as I’ve developed the interest in teeth I’ve started to doubt my career choice it has shown me that although I do want to become an electrician I don’t think that’s what I would 100% be happy with, and I’m now wondering what careers have you chosen that you’re 100% happy with.

I need help with figuring out a gift for my bfs birthday. He’s loves football but he isn’t super into sports or gaming he’s very go with the flow he’s down to try and engage in any activity that me his friends or family is doing or wanting to do. We love games and fun activities, I’m looking for something we can do together that we already haven’t done I want to plan a full weekend type of thing. I thought about bears tickets but I want something that’s romantic and memorable because I know that’s what he’d love. I know he’d be most happy if we did something together rather than a big gift (I’m also looking to see what gifts I can get as well so ideas welcome)

I signed up for weight watchers weight loss drug program, they have submitted to my insurance for zepbound and I was denied I received a letter in the mail from SmithRx stating the reason for my denial was because the information submitted stated that the use of the drug would be for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and that the drug Zepbound specifically is not approved for that purpose. Why would weight watchers submit coverage for something that the drug specifically is not approved for? In my head it is almost automatically going to be denied because the drug is not approved for the issue they are trying to get it approved for, gastro-esophageal. I am now being asked to submit an appeal by SmithRx where a provider needs to prove or show proof that I need the medication covered for gastro-esophageal how is a Dr going to approve an issue I do not have? I never stated I had the issue I was never told they were submitting for this issue. They are giving me a hard time about canceling the membership I feel scammed 😂 it almost feels like they intentionally submitted for a drug they knew wouldn’t be covered so I’d have to pay out of pocket. I am currently still waiting on the results on if wegovy will be covered however I have little to no hope

With that information what would you choose? What seems like a better fit? Went to trade school for electrical having such a hard time finding an apprenticeship should I join the carpentry union? I need guidance I feel so stuck and like time is running out

Has anyone done the com ed tools of trade program? If so did you end up with a job after?

I graduated a trade school program with a Electrical Technician “Degree” hoping to find a apprenticeship and become a electrician was the goal. I couldn’t find a job the market sucks right now for people with “no experience” I applied to the IBEW but was told I could be waiting for atleast a year it’s been a couple months now and I have been accepted into a Tools of the trade program through com ed where I’d have a chance to be hired by them once it’s completed. I however have also been given an interview at my local laborers union. If I choose to do the tools of the trade it’s 8 weeks and I’d need to find another job since it conflicts with my current job schedule but I’d have the opportunity to work for com ed (possibility not guarantee) OR I can do the laborers union if accepted I’d have a job what would you do? I feel like this is a tough choice as I was struggling to find an opportunity and now that I have possibly 2 I don’t want to make the wrong choice. Those who work in the laborers union how do you guys like it is there a chance for me to branch out and do electrical?
