i passed the CCMA test in my junior year of high school (done through the school) and had the choice in senior year to practice as an MA and eventually earn the PCT cert or practice as a pharmacy tech trainee and eventually earn the tech cert (again thru school). i chose tech before doing any research and realized halfway through that i needed PCE to become a physician's assistant. i'm going to college out of state and i'm wondering if it's realistic or possible to even get a job as an MA with no experience and a 1 year gap btwn getting a cert and applying for a job. also, would the tech experience help? should i wait til i graduate college to become an MA?

i might just be missing something here but i was wondering how we’re supposed to create labels with our dorm room address in the july 7-14 timeline when i’ve been told that dorm assignments come out mid-late july?

We live in the same house. My mom's his caretaker but I (18f) do a few things like feed him and monitor him while my mom's at work. He can't do a lot of things himself, but most significantly, he can't speak (tongue removal due to cancer) or communicate by writing. We have his life360 but he doesn't even know he has a phone most of the times, so he leaves his phone at home most of the time. He got out a few months ago and injured himself riding the bike down the highway. We locked the bikes up and got him a medical bracely, but he still gets out. It hasn't been terrible lately, mostly he just goes out and walks around the neighborhood. There's been a few scares, but he usually comes back 5-10 minutes later (like I said he's mostly just walking around the neighborhood). Then today, he got out again and was missing for an hour before my mom found him walking along the highway. Since I'm going out of state for college in a few months, my mom won't have me to help look for him if something like this happens again. Not to mention I'm home alone with my dad a lot and I can't stop him from going outside. He only listens to my mom half the time when she tells him not to wander, and he doesn't listen to me at all, so I'm pretty much helpless if he gets out again while it's just me alone (that was the case today). My mom's already looking into alert systems, but 4 people live in the house and it's impossible to tell who's leaving. What I'm wondering is if there's some kind of fingerprint lock or password lock or phone controlled lock on the inside so the rest of us can figure out but not him so he can't get out. This sounds like imprisonment omg but knowing that he has a track record of going out onto the highway and he's unsteady on his feet (no cane or wheelchair yet), I really don't want something like this to happen again. Next time, he might go to the woods instead of out in the open, because the last two times, we only found him because he was in such an open area. If there's anything out there, please lmk, it'd be greatly appreciated.
