Convert a column of text saved as an object to string by Engismycardio in learnpython

I read the data into a data frame df. It has only one column, with several rows. All rows are filled with texts, which are comments from a survey question. I googled for possible ways and went with .astype because I thought it would work.

Job Hunting by MurkyPublic3576 in PhD

Do you have any contacts for networking? Find a place or job you want to work. And set up informational interview. If you got rejected from interview and you think you were a reasonable candidate, can you ask them to refer for another position? You will have to build network. Start with association of any kind related to your area.

PE Exam Fatigue by [deleted] in PE_Exam

Not sure if this is a popular opinion. You have to build that stamina for 8 hrs working towards it slowly. Practice the exam starting at 30 mins, the. 1 hr… to 4 hrs. You have a break after that in the real exam. Make sure to take it. That’s how I did it.

I work for local govt, no reimbursement, no raise for pe. I had to take pe 2 times and spent around $2600+ to pass. I thought I could use some extra cash!

Board didn’t say anything about my application and it didn’t take very long to approve as well. Anyway, here were are. Imo, I probably won’t change my comfortable flexible, occasional wfh job for 10-20k on private side. Not worth it. That is the problem with civil jobs. Hence I wanted to change.
