I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.

    Here’s hoping. Cracking away at nursing prerequisites, so assuming that path goes as planned, I’m a couple years away from a job as a nurse, which will hopefully translate to a large enough pay check to afford health insurance.

    Light at the end of the tunnel.

        Thanks! It’s going well so far! Actually rocking a 4.0, but the class I’m in now (microbiology) will likely be putting an end to that. Confident in a passing grade at least, and that’s all I really need for admission into the nursing program. Things are moving along!

          Fuck yeah! I’m a stupid tradesman so I don’t exactly know what 4.0 means, but it sounds high. I know from TV that it means good. But I don’t know why haha

            Not actually sure if it’s a universal scale, so could be you just grew up with a different system, but it’s a grade point average: 4.0 means all A’s so far. There are some instances of students cranking out a 4.1 or some higher value, but I’m not sure how that happens… like you can score 100% on every assignment, and then take advantage of extra credit to get your class grade higher than 100%, but as far as GPA calculation goes, an A is an A… I think.

            …also pretty much everyone I went to highschool with who went on to a trade are now financially WAY ahead of the rest of us dumbasses who bought into some other path. You may be less educated, but definitely not stupid - and on the same page, being educated doesn’t mean someone isn’t stupid… listen to a doctor start talking about something other than their immediate field of study, and you start to realize pretty quick that some of them are just absolute hopeless morons.

            I digress :P

              Oh wow, good for you man.

              I thought it was all A’s, but that also seemed insane to me that someone can get all A’s, and as often as I’ve heard the phrase. But I was bad at school and grew up in a small town so that’s probably why haha

                Thanks! I’m lucky to have gotten both good teachers and good classmates so far (both of which can make a huge impact on grade) so I think I owe my current score at least as much to good luck as to my own study habits. I’m also pretty early into the process - I’ve never been a straight-A student before, so I doubt I’ll be able to keep this rolling all the way through completion.
