too bad, so sad.
She is reaping what she has sown. She needs to choose better next time.
I find that smart and educated often go together, but wisdom is in a category of its own. The formal education often eliminates the chance of wisdom, because it is arrogant and considers itself above all. Scripture says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.....so unless that fear of God is present, there is no real wisdom.
She has a “Health Sciences” degree, a crap Woke/DEI/Diversity/Liberal type of garbage degree. Here is the course work for it. It is nothing but lightweight liberal policy crap. Not even the research courses, which there are usually 7 courses and not 4, is lightweight.
HS810 Advanced Health Policy
HS820 Global and National Health and Health Systems
HS830 Advanced Health Issues and Trends
HS840 Advanced Health Research and Analysis Methods
HS850 Advanced Health Leadership
HS860 Doctoral Project I: Project Proposal
HS865 Doctoral Project II: Research
HS880 Doctoral Project III: Data Collection and Analysis
HS890 Doctoral Project IV: Communication and Dissemination
Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
She had her child when at age 40. She is working to a Ph.D. The “babys daddy” (uhhh...huh...) takes off. If she gets a Ph.D. in biology she will find some decent paying job.
I would say...she started quite late in life...got a man to impregnate her(probably hoped his paternal instinct would kick in)..now she is struggling. Well....duh....she’s doing quite well since she started so late with such little resources...wish her the best... I hope she learns some lessons..and quit complaining... it’s tough everywhere.
Ask Yahoo and Huff post to help since they are using you to generate “clicks” and money.
You can’t live on $60k in Monterey unless you live under a bridge. Move to another state where Bio-tech labs are and get a real job.
So, she wants employer-subsidized daycare. It’s amazing how so many people with PHDs can’t figure out that employers are in the business of making money, and a perk like this will detrimentally affect their salaries in a big way.
thats what i was thinkin’ on the all baby, all the time network, you should be thrilled she had a baby.
some people are never satisfied.
oh eyeroll. adults have sex. Most adults have sex. It happens.
maybe not you though.
My mom stayed in a pretty nice assisted living facility for the final months of her life. Most of the staff was college age kids with a CNA certification. Her last week was in "hospice" mode. Frankly, I think the mission of "hospice" is to help the hapless customer OD on morphine to make an expedited exit. My mom was fully lucid until the "hospice" people went to work on her.
I would think someone with a Ph.D. in health sciences could get a pretty good job, but I doubt that $90,000 goes very far in Monterey California with crazy housing costs.
Full disclosure: When I first saw the headline, I figured her Ph.D. was in Afro Studies or some other useless field.
“She’s black with a kid and the father left?”
and living in an insanely high cost area with a job that can’t pay the bills.
Clever. :-)
—I left CA decades ago because of the high cost of living. It was the best move I ever made—turned me from poor to comfortable in less than a decade.
Its about affording (or not) child care. In case anyone else wondered WHAT THE HELL THIS POST WAS ABOUT, since the poster didn’t BOTHER to tell us.
Just an idea.
Will there still be women raising children alone?
Of course. But the numbers will be much smaller and so it will be easier to make accommodations for those children.
My experience with hospice has been the nurses warning against the doctor making a house visit to administer a deadly dose of morphine. The business model appears to be saving third-party payers money by snuffing out the old who are taking too long to die.
My mom was in no pain. She had sufficient congestive heart failure to be placed on Lasix to control her fluid volumes. That was harming her kidneys. Her lungs were examined to explain the "wet" cough typical of CHF. The doctor told her she had cancer in both lungs. My sister immediately left the hospital room, canceled all of her appointments and contacted hospice. BTW, my sister is an RN. Mom was transferred back to her room in the assisted living and hospice arrived. An oxygen concentrator and a supply of morphine arrived. Mom was fully lucid in her hospital room. By the time I went to visit her in her assisted living room, she was so doped up with morphine that she couldn't carry a conversation. This was my first encounter with a hospice service. In retrospect, I should have expelled them. Too late.
I was shocked to see my family member killed before she was ready to go.
Just as appalling was the doctor in the family advocating that she be sent home to this while also being taken off fluids, so as to accelerate her decline.
It’s experiences like this that made it easier for me to see through the events of the last four years.
Looks like it.
I am not seeing a problem. She is young and has a child and is broke. Sounds like 95% of the young parents out there. + what does having a PHD have to do with anything?
You’d think so, but I was in this woman’s situation in my 20s with a husband who walked on us when I was pregnant because “he wasn’t ready for kids”.
I was given the ultimatum of an abortion or he would divorce me.
I choose life.
I got no child support and raised my son on my own until I met my current husband years later. I experienced the same judgmental attitudes that I have read here. I had to stay strong and realize we all make poor choices, but God is merciful if you put your life and faith in Him. A lot more merciful than a lot of believers I knew at the time.
In any case, hubby married me, adopted our son and we are still deeply in love 23 years later.
