I was on that career path in college. My advice if you love science and math is to learn sql and go a dba certification route. Or if youre willing to work from the ground up, start at a hospital working a helpdesk and get promoted from within. Most hospitals are generous with religious exemptions. Find a hospitsl system that uses epic as their hospital emr. Get some epic certifications and after a couple of years, become a consultant. Dont work for epic, just get the certs by working for a hospital system that has it and get promoted to the point where you get a relevent cert.
Of all my friends, I don't know of a single one that regularly consumes media coming out of Hollywood. We consume plenty of older media and support indie games and films. There is rarely a good film that comes out, I would say a one every other year, that I'll watch. (A quiet place being the latest movie, but I have low hopes for it's sequel)
"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything.
Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.
People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true.
People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
You're so right about it being possible but really difficult.
I personally did it complete with million dollar hospital bills and at times it was almost impossible. This was a decade ago, I would wager it's even harder today.
I wish we would encourage / incentivize mom's that wanted to stay at home instead of divorce.
If your wife goes to work so you can pay the babysitter.... Just have her quit and raise the kids??
Edit: Everything doesn't really cost that much more imo, we just waste too much money on stupid shit like cable TV / ridiculous cell phone bills.
As a Christian, I would also forgive my son of this, or pretty much anything else. We've all fucked up. I've been forgiven so I should forgive.
However, forgiving someone doesn't mean that I'm going to allow that person to harm myself and my family. You still have to take who they are as a person into your decision making process.
Do whatever you can to help him out of the brainwashing. Armchair quarterback moment, but this needed to be handled way earlier in life.
