Add money to get a debit card?

I just opened an account and was about to set up direct deposit. However, it says that they aren't going to send me a debit card until they get my first deposit? I am not wanting to wait 7 days after I get paid to access my money. Anyway to bypass this?

Can you have two checking accounts?

I want to have two checkings under my name. One for bills and one for spending. I want to be able to instantly transfer between the two. Is that possible? It seems like it is but I just want to double check before I sign up.

Built my first budget rucksack

$20 bag, book in the bottom (had it laying around), next to yoga block from 5 below ($5), plates from my dumbells taped together, towel wrapping the plates and a hoodie in the back for a little added comfort and space reduction to keep plates steady.

How did I do? Current bag weight 16.6lbs.

Thought I would be able to upload more than one picture. Rip.

General studies associate to BSW?

Hello! I am 29 and returning to college. I work as a DSP for individuals with developmental disabilities and would like to move into a higher position like DDP, program director, or maybe QIDP. The positions do require either an associates or bachelor’s degree depending on the position. However, they do not care what the degree is in. I find that crazy but regardless.

Here’s the thing. I did a middle college program in high school where I earned 19 college credits while in high school. Those still count since I’ll be going to the same college. 19 of them would count towards an associate in general studies but only 5 towards an associate in social work. I plan to transfer to get a BSW at another school.

So here’s the question. Should I just obtain my associates in general studies as those credits will allow me to complete the degree faster thus saving time and money and moving me closer to my bachelor degree goal by about one year? Or should I just obtain my associates and bachelor’s both in social work? Is there any cons to having a general studies associates and then a bachelors in social work? Will I be closing doors for myself? In a dream world it wouldn’t matter because I hope to stay where I’m at but in the event that it doesn’t work out that way, I’d like for this paper to be equally useful elsewhere.

Hope this all makes sense! Thank you in advance!

I am DSP with adults with developmental disabilities. I want more. What’s next?

Hello everyone,

Some years ago I made a post about being stuck in a dead end job and the crippling depression it put me in. I changed fields at the advice of some and happened to fall in love with the work I do. I’m hoping you guys can help me from here.

I’m 29 years old. I live in Missouri and I am a DSP at a non profit company that works with adults with developmental disabilities. Autism and Down syndrome being the most common. I’ve excelled in my role here and really have grown a passion for what I do. Right now I’m still entry level but basically operate as a manager without the pay. I say all this to say that I appear to be good at what I do and have a passion for what I do.

I have really decided that I would like to advance in this field. My thoughts have turned towards the idea of obtaining a bachelor in social work. I would like to work my way towards a program director in one of these companies.

The company I work for allows me to move into a salaried management position with a 2 year degree in literally anything. So my thoughts would be to obtain a relative associate along the way so I can move into that role while I am pursuing the last two years? If that’s possible.

I think the questions I have and the guidance I’m looking for are centered around the type of degree you think I should work towards, earning potential I can reasonably expect.

So what type of degree should I obtain? Is a bachelors in social work the correct one? Is there a relative associate I can pick up along the way? Can I do this all online? Will AI kill the need for my job as soon as I obtain the qualification?

Thanks in advance, everyone.

Should I leave my family? TW: People not appreciating the blues

I really need some advice and don’t know who else to turn to right now. I’m alone and hurting. I’m going to try and tell this story the best I can but it’s still an open wound.

Earlier today I was hanging out in the living room with my girlfriend and her kid. We were all kind of bored so I decided to grab my acoustic guitar. I started playing a 12 bar blues progression in E. I was really getting into it. I broke out the bottleneck slide. I got lost in the blues.

I closed my eyes. I felt the stage lights on my skin. I smelled the mixture of beer and cigarette smoke. I could hear glasses clinking in the crowd. I pulled from every scale I’ve ever learned. The fretboard became a map and I knew every road.

I decided to improvise a verse. I belted my deepest sorrows from the bottom of my gut. I felt tears forming in my eyes. After the verse, I let my guitar weep.

Needless to say, the overflow of emotion manifested itself into a 27 minute solo.

I left everything on the board. My deepest darkest thoughts. Memories of being bullied in middle school. The time my first girlfriend looked at another guy during biology class freshman year. The rejection from my father. Losing my first car to engine failure. The realization that I finally had to move out at 36 because my parents were downsizing into a retirement community. Having to get a part time job at a gas station just to survive while still pursuing the craft.

I left it all on the table.

As the final note rang out, I slowly opened my eyes. Sweat poured from my forehead and mixed with the tears running down my face.

And when I looked up, my girlfriend was scrolling on her phone and her daughter was in the other room playing with Barbies.

Neither of them appreciated the musical masterpiece I had just demonstrated. People pay thousands of dollars to witness what I just gave them for free.

At this point, I honestly don’t think I can continue being around people who don’t respect the craft. People who don’t respect art.

So what should I do? Should I leave? Or should I give them one more chance to witness another performance if I can emotionally recover enough to create again?

My wife’s boyfriend was scheduled to do maintenance on her in my unit this week. Apparently it's been happening all week. Sounds good to me. Until I got home, found my record cabinet removed, all of my records sitting in my favorite chair.

Going to hit up my wife’s boyfriend and tell him to comp me on my bottom records less. It was my favorite copy of red screamy man.
