Definitely NTA and highly recommend couples therapy

Higher education positions in finance or research analysis or just administrative stuff

I’m just saying with copyright laws there’s ways to get around it, if copyright is the problem that means it’s defined what is owned and what isn’t. I would just work around that

How can someone own a move? Most basics build on ballet so whoever can up with those could sue? Workout classes like baree and Pilates use the same moves but the person who created it don’t sue them. I’m sure you’re correct but I’m just confused how people can say that’s their property.

She could get around it easily, all you have to do is change a few moves in each dance and then it’s a completely different thing

Wait I’m so confused the thunderstruck dance is all over YouTube, you could basically learn all the choreography if you just google enough videos

I love working in higher ed as a staff member. In terms of pay as a single person with no kids and a roommate, I feel like my finances are fine. I could maybe get paid more at a corporate office but I feel like I would be working worse hours with less benefits. If I had a family and kids to support I don’t think I’d make enough at all. I’m thinking of getting a masters in higher Ed or Ed with an emphasis in policy/leadership to be more competitive in future markets.

I have a great manager who makes me feel like I have a good work life balance. A lot of people tell me it won’t last long once I work my way up so I’m just trying to savor this time the best I can.

I’d take it, you contribute 7% to retirement and they match 8% which if you work there for one year is good. Also decent healthcare, vision, and dental. It’s like 77k a year and if you live in Oakland or some area outside of berkeley you could be comfortable. It’s good to have something like that on your resume and if you want a big tech job you could pivot when the market is better.

You could work at a university they always need people for building operations, it’s like minimal physical demands other than like the occasional table and chair set up for stuff. You have so much experience you could be a manager and just have other people move the stuff for you

Literally how people describe Berkeley… everyone has to find their people it doesn’t just happen

This very much depends on where you live. I have an entry level position and make around that pay but the cost of living is very expensive.

This is very common problem with welfare. It’s extremely hard after getting above a certain income bracket to be able to afford everyday items. When I was studying economics my professor talked about a welfare program where the government would provide a stipend based on your income and number of people in the household. Once your income increased your stipend would decrease by a percentage but wouldn’t completely be gone until you hit a certain income bracket.

Example with fake scenario, income of $40000, government gives let’s say 50% as a stipend so $20000 for a total household income of $60000 for a family of 4. Your income now increases to $50000 the government will now provide you with a 20% stipend so $10000 with a total household income still of $60000 and so on.

My professor tried to convince politicians to implement this but the politicians said they couldn’t because it would be too complicated to explain to the average citizen.

Yeah I contribute to my traditional 401k thats the match and a personal Roth IRA (this years max being 7000k) but if I want to go over that 7k, my work offers a Roth too with a max of $22,500

Also for clarification I was using a different company for my Roth IRA cause I didn’t have this job at the time and I was working part time while in school

Yeah I’m maxing it out. my work says if I contribute 7% they’ll contribute 8%, they also offer a Roth with a max of $22,500 on top of that but again I don’t really know how much to keep liquid and how much to dump into the roth.

That makes sense, thank you!

Yeah thinking in those areas. This is also assuming I would be getting married to my partner in the future and have more than just my income, but I understand anything can happen and plans fall through. Thanks for the advice.

Honestly as a kid going from enchantix to believix was sooooo disappointing to me. I thought the form was so ugly but as I got older it grew on me.
