Ultimately, it's up to her, and I will support her in whatever choice she makes. She has to decide how she wants to live, be it at a less rigid job for less money, or sticking this out until she finds something comparable. I just want to make sure her rights are protected, whatever choice she makes.

Reply to Has anyone ever gone to Tunxis and then transfered somewhere that was UConn or another state school? What was the process like? by Strong-Purpose-113

I had no issue transferring military credits and online college credits from a NY school to the Connecticut schools.

Not **every single** credit will transfer, but most of the time, most of them do if there is an equivalent course.

UCONN is sometimes a touch more picky than ECSU, CCSU, SCSU as far as the Community college transfer agreements. But they still have a transfer agreemement.

They don't have warnings. No time = be on time or fired. They also accrue so slowly that it takes months to accrue a single day.

I know my kid is not perfect, but she decided to move out and takes work very seriously because she has a lease and car payment. She also has no problem telling me if she's messed up, so it's not a pattern thing.

Regardless, it is what it is, and she has to work within it. I just wanted to make sure she has all of her rights protected.

Right..

Fuck these companies that don't care about their employees, there are plenty of other companies to work for that do.

Then they will complain that "no one wants to work" at their shitty jobs.

No schooling required, although you can shell out money for a training class. I have my property/casualty and life insurance licenses. It cost me $100 for each book and $100 for each test (which my boss at the time covered)

More advanced licenses and certifications cost more. I'm looking into transitioning into underwriting and the CPCU costs roughly $4500 but it's the industry equivalent of a graduate degree

Yes. 100%. Better pay, benefits, culture. Better everything. Especially if you're an engineer...I was at EB for over 5 years before I quit to go to Pratt and I regret waiting so long. There are so many ex-EB employees at Pratt that EB is seen as a joke there.

If you're an engineer looking for work in CT, don't waste your time with EB.

The Military Industrial Complex bleeds America some more.

Every Submarine built is a school not built, a hospital not built, thousands of students not receiving education, homeless people not helped, low-income housing not built, drug addicted people not receiving help. America is a failed state that cannot even provide it's people with clean drinking water.
