Reply to "Potato" chips vs Potato chips by Doctuh

True story!

I work as a nurse in the county and one day I asked the owners daughter-in-law (who happens to also be a nurse, last name Fox!) why it says “chips”. So she went home at the end of her shift and asked her husband to ask his dad and his response was, “I have no idea, I was never really that good at English in grade school.” Haha

Reply to comment by CHENGhis-khan in Is anyone taking advantage of the new Student Loan Repayment Tax Credit (SLRTC) for tax year 2022? by happyharrr

I find this so irritating. I am a nurse with $35,000 in student loans and my husband is a school psychologist with $75,000 in student loans. Four years worth of school for me and 8 years worth for him. People complain that we are “getting a free handout”, yet when you walk into an emergency room you expect to have everything available to you. You can walk in and have access to a doctor, nurse, X-ray tech, phlebotomist, lab tech, social worker, psychiatrist, etc. all at your fingertips. The list goes on and on. And guess what, almost all of these professions require some degree that will put us in a great deal of debt! Same for him at his school. If he wasn’t there to work with students with intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, students trying to self-harm etc, everyone would also be at a loss.

You want access to professional people in different areas of your life when it’s convenient for youyet don’t think we deserve to have some of our education costs offset by taxes or some other government funding.

I make $28 an hour as a nurse. This is not nearly enough to get ahead at all, never mind get out from under student loans for the next 40 years. $52,000 a year salary, if I work every single week, full-time, pre-taxes, not taking any days off.

If this is your attitude, don’t ever seek the advice/help/work from a professional employee ever again.
