reddit guy posted:$200 in credit card payments (I do most of my purchases through credit to take advantage of various cash back offers, and I usually pay much more than the minimum on every card) At first I thought he was a moron for carrying $8k in credit card debt but nevermind, he gets cash back! also someone called him out: I drive a Tesla and live in my parents basement. AMA His response? "What you're saying is kind of funny, but I also kind of put a pretty big slice of my life on display here. I know anonymity makes it seem inconsequential, but that's kind of uncool." He's honestly so oblivious that he can put a big post up detailing his budget in order to see if he can afford a Tesla, but when people undoubtedly tell him he's WAY off base he thinks it's just rude for them to tell him as such. Maybe we should do him a favor and tell him the answer he's looking for rather than the correct one? Like, hey, go ahead, buy that expensive car to park in your parent's driveway. I'm sure they won't mind the continued lack of rent payments while you keep blowing your paltry income on Netflix and your cats.

ate all the Oreos posted:You can get a degree in burying corpses? Chemistry and anatomy. Also business education because it's not just tidying up dead people, you need to run a funeral home and sell caskets/flowers/overpriced jars. Reddit posted:In school for Radiology tech with about 3 years left to go. Projected yearly salary on graduation: 50-70k a year What? There's radiology technician, which is a 2 year associate's/certificate program, then there's radiologic technologist which is a bachelor's with a median pay of about $56k. This person is not making technologist median pay just out of school, even if it is the technologist program instead of technician. The field is shrinking drastically with not enough jobs for experienced technologists and technicians, let alone people without a clue graduating from ITT Tech. Hulu and Netflix is overkill. How do you watch enough TV while in school to justify having both of those, on top of Audible and Spotify? There are literally not enough hours in the day. If she/he truly goes through at least a book a month, the $15/month Audible option isn't a terrible idea, assuming the public library doesn't have e-books and audiobooks for free. An attempt to cancel Audible outright might also yield a cheaper price; I just did a trial and got 3 months half price when I tried to cancel it. $120/month for that cellphone is terrible, $49 a month for prepaid is awesome AND untraceable if you're into that sort of thing. What is "basic" car insurance and how many DUIs does this person have to spend $100/mo on liability for a beater? $200 in credit card payments? I assume this includes interest since the concept of doing budget spending on the card seems foreign, but when you use your credit card in lieu of a check card, this is not how you do the line-by-line. Why does this person have pets when living with parents and in school? Why do people think that pets are a need instead of a luxury? You can't help an animal when you become homeless because you are an idiot.

Yeah, a mortuary degree involves embalming, handling dead people, and selling caskets. I guess it's a high growth industry with all the Boomers on Death's doorstep - but cremation and industry consolidation can't be helping. And radiology is a terrible field to get into. We've already got software that can detect cancer better than the best technicians, so the field is only going to become more automated.

My wife works on a unit with three other techs, and I don't see that part of cancer treatment changing anytime soon.

Yeah getting the parameters of the giant death laser exactly right for each individual person so it only hits the cancer and not everything else is still a super-specialized field and won't be automated for quite a while. Fun Fact: one of the worst software bugs in history involved the Therac-25, a radiation treatment machine that would occasionally gently caress up and deliver hundreds of times more radiation than it should have.

The "automation will kill your job!" refrain is hilarious to me, because this is what's happening in my field(healthcare lab work): Automation reduces but does not eliminate shortages, retirement crisis is looming as there's a shitload of old people and not enough schools & clinical placements to bring in new blood, chaos reigns. Also it turns out you still need warm bodies to handle all the automated stuff, because it likes to gently caress up at random and you need someone who knows what they're doing to fix it. There's also stuff where the machines throw up a big ???, meaning you still need a human being around to look at what's going on and interpret it.

Fine, Rad techs. Still wouldn't want to be in that field. If the analysis part is automated then that would probably make each Rad tech more productive, requiring fewer of them. The study I read had software finding like 50% more cancer than the best Rad techs. If those results can be duplicated in a real-world environment then it'll cause some serious change.

Krispy Kareem posted:Fine, Rad techs. Oh my God your reading comprehension, do you even move your eyes across the words before you post? Radiology techs are the people who position patients to receive x-rays or cancer treatments or what have you - there is literally no software that can do what they do. The "study" that you read and think you understood describes how software can assist RADIOLOGISTS (physicians, with medical degrees, who read x-rays or CTs or whatever) to see cancer they would have missed otherwise.

silvergoose posted:Pretty sure that's actually they-committed-fraud, haven't you followed this thread and/or the news? Yeah. I just just found out I was impacted today though. In hindsight it makes sense. I had to set up autopay over the phone because every time I tried to login through their website I had to enter a PIN for my account (which confused me for a mortgage). Multiple service reps definitely managed to be completely oblivous to another account being open in my name or did a good job covering. E: i received an email from wells fargo informing me that my checking account was being closed. I dont have a checking account (to my knowledge) through them. On the phone, 90 minutes later, I find that I also have two credit cards through wells fargo. I asked them to send me documentation of all three accounts so that I have a record of them being opened. I guess there are no fees attributed to any of them, but I imagine my credit score took a small hit by reducing the average age of my credit.

A way to limit the hit on all the fraud so they can now say the customer wanted that account after the fact and not have it included in whatever final number they come up with.

Any reason to get a police report for identity theft? Might have been Wells Fargo, might have been someone else who opened up those accounts.
