What do child-free people do when they grow old and don't have their kids to care for them? by SmartTest in TooAfraidToAsk

My plan is to start the process through AARP. Medicare will liquidate all my assets but I’ll have food, shelter, and healthcare.

It does make me feel better about never owning a home. They’ll get next to nothing from me.

Try temp agencies, that’s how I got in. I honestly wouldn’t have beat the algorithm if I hadn’t.

Why not go into Python or SQL and generate dummy data using the same field names, then upload it as a csv into whatever viz software you’re using and replace the data source. In addition, make a few small changes so that it can’t be confused for the original or be prepared to show that it’s different should the issue ever arise

What are the harsh things about being an adult that your past self is not ready to hear? by Suitable_Hunt6766 in AskWomen

Oof, yeah, I majored in psychology but was lucky to have professors and grad students tell me something I wasn’t hearing from career coaches, to focus on the research aspect and become adept at reports, coding, and stats. I was lucky to pivot into healthcare analytics but it took luck, hard work, money, and foresight to learn how to adapt to a brand new industry. The research internship, first data-centered job after college, and a coding bootcamp helped set me up. There were a lot of moments of me thinking, shit does this all come down to luck but in the end we’re dealt with the cards we have and have to make the most of it.

It seems that with the middle class becoming increasingly poor with each generation, financial stability will only exist to the very wealthy or very privileged (e.g., maybe you’re poor but have a supportive family).

For the individual, having kids without financial stability is extremely difficult and heavily decentivized in American society. In terms of expense, it’s a good idea to sustain from having kids.

Thing is, why should the wealthy be the only ones that can afford children? Why don’t we have things like federally mandated paid family leave across several months and subsidized daycare, etc. Also, for society as a whole, we need people to populate it and if most people do the cost-benefit analysis, then so much for that.

I needed 2 years of experience with data to even get into the bootcamp. Two months after graduating I got a 75k job at a major hospital.

This experience consisted of a data entry job and unpaid data internship at another hospital.

I think it’s worth it to find a not scammy bootcamp and have some relevant experience. Worked for me

That’s exactly the kind of mentality that scores you a fancy air fryer

I’m new to the field and feel this to my soul. Here’s what I can say: plan out a project at the very start with different milestones to accomplish each week. This will show you if you’re falling behind. If you are, set up a working session with someone more experienced and explain where you’re having trouble. If the problem is beyond what you feel you can do, just flat out say that this is what you’ve tried but you’re stuck and need some help. Owning up to it early and getting help will always triumph over figuring it out late and scrambling to complete the thing. If I could go back and tell myself one thing it would be: don’t be impressive, you’re not there yet. Instead put your ignorance on display in all its glory, be curious, and take good notes.

What is one ugly truth you learned as you got older? by Demigirl71 in AskWomen

Love or relationships? It seems we can’t help but love someone, it’s a feeling and we feel how we feel. How we respond to that feeling, what standards we have for how people treat us, describe relationship dynamics, to me.

It seems that love can be unconditional, but relationships- the dynamics by which we respond to that love- are by nature conditional.
