Yes. Totally this -->@jl lin
Knowing @QofQuimica, she won't be drinking mojitos and reading a book, unless it's a textbook and she's getting another degree
My mom doesn't either. She asked me what I'd do if I retired at 45, and I said, "whatever I want."OK, but I still don't see you retiring at 45. LOL
November is one of the best times of the year to be in Florida. The weather is gorgeous and the snowbirds are only starting to arrive. After Thanksgiving, season starts in full swing, and everything gets crowded and busy. Right now it's 77 and sunny. In fact, I think I should go out and take a walk.At this time of year in particular, the idea of someone living in Florida and retiring at 45 seems crazy to me--cuz now is the time to stack the cords of wood! But I've been done with winters and snow since I was 27, so. . .
At what age did you become a full fledged attending? Just curious...My mom doesn't either. She asked me what I'd do if I retired at 45, and I said, "whatever I want."
I do have some ideas, and WH isn't all that far off.

39. I finished residency this past July.
I keep inviting you to come down. Free place to stay in paradise. Standing invitation. If you give me a little advanced notice, I'll even take the week off and show you around. You won't have to shovel a lick of snow the entire time.
You're on. I would definitely be up for helping you run a nonprofit, as long as you wouldn't require me to come up to MN in the winter.
FL is a beautiful state... and not that expensive as many might think... I love south FL...39. I finished residency this past July.

Agree. It also has a decided advantage over most other Southern states in not having an income tax, which becomes relevant to you once you actually have an income.
Dude, you only have to pay for a plane ticket and whatever spending money you want. Just buy the dang ticket already!

OK. That's what I thought.
lmao, jl, you have to be the most literal person I've ever "met."

I can tell you that WH definitely has a female name. I haven't actually yet seen her in person though, nor have I required a karyotypic analysis of her, so I suppose I can't be 100% sure. But I'm still mostly sure that she's really a gal.
Edit: I need to go back and clean out this thread now. Too much jibber-jabbing.

They make me happy too, 'cause I'm watching them on TV instead of going out in them.
Eh. It's a mixed bag. As a UG, the rent in areas like Orlando can be a bit ridiculous considering what you're receiving.
Now you're just devolving this discussion into another nature-versus-nurture argument. Am I "incredibly logical minus the emo" because I was a girl in a male-dominated profession (physical science), or did I gravitate toward a male-dominated profession because I'm incredibly logical minus the emo in spite of being a girl? Tough to say. But, like Nas, I loathe girl small talk. If I were a nurse, my coworkers would probably think I was stuck up and unfriendly.
My friend, I suggest that you never go to New England or any of the coastal cities if you think that Orlando of all places has high rent. In fact, you'd best not even go down to SE Florida.
I agree with you there. The falls in New England are spectacular. The winters....not so much.
PhDs don't typically do clinical research, but yes, CRAP sounds about right.
Agree. Granted, if you're around the touristy areas, it's expensive. But that's true all over the state.
Oh, I live in Boston over the summer, I know that Orlando is quite the steal. Simply housing for UG's at the university in Orlando charge an absurd amount for what you're given.
Hahaha, seriously. I can do any of those things any time of year, even in February. In fact, I'd rather do them in February. Take that, Minnesota!
