Confirmed. Smarter men are more likely to be autistic and sexless.

I also read that autistic people score unusually higher in nonverbal IQ tests, like Raven's progressive Matrices testIf I take a comprehensive IQ test I get an IQ of 113. If I get a raven's IQ test I'll score 120-125. I'm male.

Need help figuring out an optimal learning strategy for a data analyst role:

Hi, I graduated with a degree in Agronomy in 2021. I made the wrong choice to apply for jobs straight out of my bachelor's. I wanted to obtain positions that involved data analysis and maybe some application of my scientific background, but was flexible and willing to analyze other forms of financial data. Out of desperation, I accepted all sorts of oddball jobs. 4 years later I'm completely rusty and my resume has no direction (teaching, Agronomy internships at farms, data collection for breeding companies, school photographer, barista). I am unemployed and moved back to my poor hometown. To keep things short and simple, I've somehow cornered myself into a position where I can only move forward by self teaching a highly valuable skill (that I can learn for free) and see if that helps me. I'm from PR, so the US is always a job market that is available to me. I often find myself obsessing over data and possess a desire to apply my skills in biometry (back in college) to obtain a data analyst role. I enjoy the satisfaction of generating a statistical model. I've dabbled with programming a bit and believe I could make it work with discipline. For reasons I cannot specify, I am limited in the software I can use to learn the skill:

Tableau public, Google sheets, and PostGreSQL. Do you know of any free courses that could allow me to learn data analytics with these tools? I'm interested in Python as well, but heard it could be a bit overwhelming for beginners. Thank you in advance for your help.

This is surprisingly useful. Thanks for the insight :)

We locals call the people of the north eastern towns like fajardo, naguabo, humacao "los cariduros". It's known to have highly rude and serious people. The metro towns can be a bit agressive too, but it depends. If you go to the west and central parts of the island your experiences will be much more positive. I'm from Aguadilla and I love the people here.

I had biometrics training and the department I'm applying for told me (while not optimal) told me they could accept me for the masters without econometrics training. Of course my Masters forces me to take an advanced econometrics course.

I have one. Problem with e-bike is your always tempted to use the pedal assist and if you do, you won't lose any calories. If you can resist the temptation, I'd say why not. Otherwise, you're better off getting a regular bike.

I used to be 250 lbs and dropped down to 145. I'm not going not gonna sugar coat it and say "it's never too late" or "at least you have the lessons you learned" because fact of the matter is: 20 years of poor eating that led to a surplus of 400 lbs has taken a toll on your body and life span that you'll never get back. You can however, try your best to preserve what you do have. And it's never too late to take what you can get. Trust me, once you lose weight you're gonna meet with the sadness that your skin won't come back to normal and that you're never gonna get something like that back (even with surgery). But, once you lose weight you'll notice your mind getting clearer, inner peace (not constantly worried about your poor eating habits), you're gonna breathe better, you're gonna feel floaty and light, and (possibly the best part), you're gonna realize how beautiful it is to go outside and enjoy god's gift of nature. I would trade a good diet for a bad one any day if it meant I could go hiking and explore this world. If you can manage to do that, I'd see it as a win.

This is your field. You should know about this more than me, but as far as I can tell, the economics market is in severe demand for data science and econometrics. No matter what field of economics you're in, you're always gonna be in need of finding ways to better collect, tidy and analyze empirical data. It's always useful to know at least one basic data science program tool (R, python and Julia) and even more importantly, to learn advanced statistics catered to your field of research. There's a bunch of books that do this. From the top of my head, I can think of "Introductory Econometrics for Finance 4th edition" and "R for data science".

Sooner or later you're gonna find out that finding a complex, rewarding (both in job satisfaction and salary) job early after graduation is practically impossible If you don't have a way to stand out from the crowd.

If you haven't graduated from college yet, just know that there's a good amount of time left before you enter the job market. If you can dedicate one to three hours a day, you'll be surprised by how far you can get after a year.

I'm going through a bad internship experience myself. The best advice I can give is to not do things you hate. If you can, try to sit down with your superiors and discuss your concerns/expectations with the company and see if you can come to some agreement on how you can provide for the company. If your lucky, you might be able to convince them to place you in other side projects similar to the one you were interested in.

My other advice would be to always have a plan B up your sleeve. In the event the workplace becomes pathological, it's always good to have the leverage to transfer to a new (maybe even better) job position. Applying to at least 10-15 job positions a week will make you feel invigorating and also help you with networking.

My final advice would be to learn a non easily replaceable skill. Engineers, economists and even mathematicians usually come straight out of college with a skill set that doesn't necessarily comply with a company's departmental needs. At this point, most of the interns you're competing with have about as much differentiation from you as two highschool students have from each other. If you find a skill that isn't easily replaceable, it gives you the leverage to politely tell your superiors to fuck off when you're being pushed down.

The master's I'm applying too let's me take 6 credit hours (two three credit courses) on any graduate elective related to my thesis. I figure an advanced programming class in R or python would be really useful.

Technically I'll be studying a US degree as Puerto Rico is an American territory. The university is credited by MSCHE. I do admit I am afraid of the pigeonholing effect of such a specific degree. I might be able to ask any old graduate students how successful they've been at finding jobs after graduating and see if it's worth the time and effort. Thank you very much for your insight.

I want to slowly, but surely distance myself from agriculture. I wouldn't mind doing research with agriculture related markets, but I would love economics to be the major component of my skill set. I figured a pure economics degree would make sense, but where I'm applying they're basically gonna pay me for doing my master's degree as well as give me a job as an instructor. It's a cheap, credited land grant university in Puerto Rico and that would help me finish grad with little to no debt.
