I see A lot of mixed posts. Personally I think cyber security will continue to grow but I’ve seen some people say the opposite.

34 years old, 2.4 gpa, 0 pre requisites 0 experience in the medical field. I’m starting my first pre requisites next spring at a community college and have started the process for volunteering work.

Are there others who were in a similar position with success stories and some guidance or tips?

Been a project manager for years client facing handling many complex projects.

For those in this career who have faced the same challenge, how did you overcome it?

I had them hold a game upfront for me while shop for more items. The sticker said 15.99. When I got all my things and went to buy everything the games price was changed to 24.99 lol. What a scummy thing to do 🤣🤣 had anyone experienced this?

Curious to hear if there are people who became a DO or MD after changing careers with an already bad uGPA? What was that journey like?

Personally, I am working on fixing my gpa and getting my pre-reqs doing a diy post bacc and will either do a SMP or take yeh MCAT after I finish my post bacc. 2.397 gpa.

On the weekends I will be looking to be a CNA, volunteer work.

I have a 2.397 uGpa so I enrolled in community college to take the correct under grad pre requisites and am aiming for straight A’s. I’ll then transfer to a university for the upper division classes. After this I plan to do an SMP program or go straight for the MCAT depending on where I am.

During all this I will aim to shadow a physician, work part time as a cna on the weekends, or possibly scribing if that counts towards the medical experience.

Anyone do a similar path and have a success story so I don’t feel so bad? 😅

This seems to be the most reasonable
Option for me especially with my horrendous undergrad gpa. I don’t have the required science classes so am fixing that in a post Bacc by taking the individual classes at my state university. I am thinking of either applying for the MSMHS program at Touro and then applying for med school as that seems more realistic with my 2.4 gpa

For those who had a similar route and went to touro how has your experience been?

With AI scaring alot of people and there being fear of project manager becoming obsolete, what are oaths in project management that existing PM’s can look to for that security, growth, and exceptional pay?

I am an engineer so am used to the work load and constant stress and grind. On the side I do coaching and realized that this is absolutely my passion and realized that belong others and providing my therapy is a passion of mine.

The only thing I am wondering about is the logistics behind switching a therapy.

1. I make close to $200k a year and a lot of people say that therapists don’t make money. However I see all kinds of jobs that have a $150k salary. Is that real?

2. I have a bachelors in a completely unrelated field. My understanding is that all I need to do is get a masters and can work as an associate therapist while I work towards getting my license. Are online therapy schools worth it or should I do this in person at a college?

The game is so hard for me. Maybe I’m just a bad gamer but I’m not enjoying it with how often I get steamrolled by groups. I don’t have a group of friends who are sweaty to play this we are all people with families, jobs, kids, it’s impossible to spend alot of time to get good and be a solid group. Maybe this game is for a younger generation unfortunately :(. I love bungie and destiny 2 was like crack for me for years but with it shut down I don’t know what to play anymore

I plan to go on a 5 day overlanding trip and plan to work out there and play games watch tv (I know but why on a camping trip)

If I’m working about 8 hours a day on a laptop which has a really crappy battery, plug in a tv, a ps5 or possibly a Pc ( haven’t decided but it has an 800W PSU), and I’m charging my phone, what do people recommend? I’ve heard of jackery but they don’t last a long time and I would have to figure out a solution.

I’m a project manager at a tech company managing high volume implementations. Honestly, it feels like I am at a dead end and the only way to move up is to become a Senior pm later down the road. Because it is high volume projects, I feel more like a risk manager constantly adjusting my tasks and work based on which client is most likely to escalate, and what projects and tasks are reaching their critical path.

I want to shift to something more technical but the problem is I don’t know infrastructure or coding. What are some courses or certifications or anything I can do to make this shift to a technical pm. What other shifts have people done?

What is the next big shift and field that will have immense growth?

Just curious not seeking medical advice. Maybe even sometimes it’s just a clear liquid but no blood. What could that be?

Had a stakeholder call with a client and my director was on it. The client has been asking for a feature for many weeks now and every week my update is that our team is still reviewing the possibility of delivering this feature for go live. Internally, I have no updates. We have no formal process for requesting features with our product team. My manager has been escalating it internally with product. We finally met with product the other day and their response had nothing to do with the development of the work itself or if developing it will be feasible but rather why the client is insistent on having this feature and whether or not we can find a workaround and if we can go live without the feature.

We can’t find a workaround and this feature is a hard requirement for go live. If we do not deliver, they will not go live. They are willing to pay for this if we need to consider it an enhancement.

During the call, I told them we don’t have news and then the client started questioning whether or not we can make go live work. That is where I completely shut down. I didn’t have a contingency plan, I didn’t sound confident in my approach, I essentially told them I don’t know. I failed hard and now I’m quite I am even a good pm because I could not handle a tough conversation with a stakeholder. How my go live is up in the air because I didn’t properly plan for this. My director has known all along and is now asking I send an email to senior leadership tomorrow expressing this concern which I’m not sure why on earth he wants me to, but I will.

I still haven’t figured out the trick in my role. I work at a tech company managing new implementations and PO’s where processes are constantly changing going and we are constantly losing and adding new employees.

What workflow and tools do people use to manage these projects? Part of my issue is my conflicting priorities and not being able to properly track meetings.

I do multiple meetings a day, I’ve certainly condensed this to what I was doing, but I must take notes by pen and paper or one note. I also transcribe my meetings, copy the transcript and paste it in ChatGPT for a recap but it seems faster to just write scribbles in one note and paste it in.

Also, my organizational skills are atrocious, I can’t seem to track action items well. I can have maybe 30 actions items pop up in a given day.

Use it and abuse it. Companies can’t fire you. It’s your golden parachute to freedom while getting paid

I’m planning on buying a shell for the truck but really love the 360 fam especially when backing into spots. Does the 360 cam get affected when you install a shell?

Basically my title. I’m thinking of switching careers to dentistry at such an old age. I have a bachelors in computer information systems but did horrible less than a 2.5 gpa and I’ve always wanted to be a doctor. This would be a reset and I would need to be disciplined. Is the barriers to entry hard for someone in My position?
