The best way to find out which place would fit better is to go for an extended visit, like 3-5 months or so, then weigh your pros and cons. Get to know the local culture and lifestyle, then go form there... Mexico is not for everyone, it's a polarizing environment, you'd either love it or hate it... cannot comment about CR, haven't spent enough time there outside tourist traps... but I'd say YMMV
I've realized quite early we're nothing more than wage slaves... then tried to wiggle myself out of the system as much as possible.
If you can find another sucker with hopes and dreams to buy it, sure.
True if you are a medium+ sized lab, b/c they are basically buying your accounts... equipment is only bought pennies on the dollar. Venture capital is only looking at the numbers, will want you there to run the show in case they want to keep it running and not shutting it down...not the ideal situation when you want to retire, might even break down the buyout price to installments to make sure you stay. You are also short on bargaining chips if you want to get out fast or have other problems, they will take advantage of that. Big labs are buying to curb competition and gain more workforce. Small ops and one person shows are nearly impossible to sell.
What’s your secret? I own a removable lab.
There’s no secret, Doug’s like 98.
I’m not. Just curious since we all work so hard these days.
Dave's not home
I've worked around 6-7 hours all put together last week...
I'm sorry to hear that you've got cancer. But like you said, the advances they've made treating multiple myeloma are amazing!! Are they going to use your T cells or donor for the Car-T? I've been reading about it and if they use donor they can start you on it in less than a week. If they use your own it can take 4-6 weeks for you to start. I saw where about 90% of patients respond to it, and that is fantastic.I'm currently sitting at the infusion center getting my weekly chemo for multiple myeloma. On three other days of the week i get to spend getting dialysis as my kidneys were damaged by the myeloma. I'm still working, I'm still enjoying the work, and I think the breaks during the week have taken some load off of me so I can relax a tiny bit. Plans are in place to transition the lab, so that's in the works. Since this cancer is very treatable I'll continue to work as I see fit, and slowly cycle out in the next couple of years. BTW, I'm looking at getting into a clinical trial for something called CAR-T therapy. "It's the future!" according to my oncologist. So, yeah, at about 95yo I'm still working and having a good time.
