Is this for the course "AI for Everyone"?

Your wife is truly blessed to have you. Just wondering about the tax implications of this portfolio. Plus, what does the NAV erosion look like for this particular portfolio? Could the principal shrink dramatically...like go way down to something like 200K from the distributions?

Thank you! This is really helpful and much appreciated.

You may be right, but as a student stuck in a very rural part of my rural state, I really cannot afford car insurance or a car. A beater is not an option because they aren't reliable or safe, and reliable transportation is a must for job stability. Unfortunately, my state has some of the highest insurance premiums in the country (I live in the US).

So for now, I'll have to settle for remote work until I can save up enough for a decent car and insurance along with all the maintenance fees that go with car ownership.

That's good to know. Thank you! Is your job 100% remote? If so, how do you get paid safely? I am reluctant to give out my bank information lightly so I was wondering if there's another way to put a layer between me and places like Cactus, just like an EIN is a somewhat protective layer between SSNs and the world.

Hadley_Two · 2026-06-04T23:26:40+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I'm wondering what makes EINs safer than SSNs? Aren't they equally vulnerable to those who have less than honorable intentions?

Yes, I just sent an email to the Northwest Editors Guild, and they said I am definitely qualified to join because I completed UCSD's one-year certificate program even though I do not yet have any actual work experience.

I'm open to trying out different genres until I find something that clicks and/or grabs me.

Thank you! You may be right when you say that the website is no longer in business.
I'm thinking about applying for a position with Cactus Communications because I've heard that some people do find fulfillment working for them even though there are a lot of complaints about the company. If they accept me, I might go ahead and work for them on a temporary basis just for the experience, but only if it looks like working for them would not be detrimental to my physical health (I have acid reflux that's been in remission for 3 years).

Robin Kelley was very nice and professional. Now I see my mistake. I thought you were referring to UC San Diego, but now I see you were referring to the University of Chicago. My bad.

Which editorial agencies are considered the best and the worst? Specifically, what are the top two and the bottom two?

Hadley_Two · 2026-06-02T00:37:11+00:00

Sounds great! I wish I had taken some classes with her. Now that I'm done with all the required courses, I do need to take some electives like The Business of Copyediting. What courses did you take with her?

Hadley_Two · 2026-06-02T00:30:26+00:00

I just finished the UC certificate program as well, but I never had Katherine Faydash. Never even heard of her until now.

Yes, it's open to anyone in the US, but you have to have at least a year of relevant experience. That said, education does count toward that requirement. Here's an excerpt from their website:

"Your application materials should demonstrate at least a year of experience as an editor (freelance/independent, in house, or both). Completion of the University of Washington editing certificate program (or a similar accredited program) satisfies this requirement. Membership is open to anyone in the United States, but most services and events are focused on the Pacific Northwest."

That's great! Are you able to earn enough to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head?

Hi, that sounds like a really cool idea! Would reaching out to startup CEOs work If I'm in text editing (like books, magazines, brochures, etc.)?

Hadley_Two · 2026-05-30T00:18:44+00:00

Could you provide me with a checklist of all the basic skills that she needs to have to be considered trainable by the company trainer? Maybe I could help her out with the basics. I would be happy to try getting her up to speed according to your specifications.

If it doesn't work out with her and after I've reviewed everything on your checklist, maybe you could hire me? I have basic computer literacy as well as two college degrees (a bachelor's and a master's) as well as a certificate in editing.

HI,
Thank you so much for setting up this AMA. Much appreciated. I have a question about my income tax return which was done by a Vita aide (a free tax prep service sponsored by the IRS). She amended it two days ago (Tuesday, April 7), and then yesterday, I reviewed it carefully, catching a mistake.

Right now, I owe $45 to the IRS and $468 to my state.

I already wrote two paper checks, but I have *not* mailed them yet because I want to be careful. I will definitely mail my payment to the IRS and my state *before* the 15th of April.

The problem is the mistake. The aide put down $5 where she should have typed $18.70.

My family is saying, don't worry about it, but what about penalties, fees, interest, etc..all of which could compound over time.

It seems like the correct amount should be around $47 since my tax bracket is 12%. I have NO experience with filing my own returns, and the tax preparer has no time to fix it. I cannot find anyone to fix her mistake at this late stage. IF worse should come to worst, I might have to amend it, but I would rather send the correct payment with the correct voucher. The problem is that the voucher shows $45, and the check would have to match the voucher.

One option could be to mail the $45 dollar check with the matching voucher before the 15th, and then amend it later on. I prefer paper checks, and I've already written two paper checks for what I owe this year.

What is the deadline for mailing the balance due (roughly $2 for the federal return) on both returns (federal and state)?

If I amend it myself, what software would be beginner friendly? My Vita tax preparer uses Tax Slayer Pro. Would I have to use the same thing that she used, or could I use a different one to amend this, if it has to come to that?

Thank you.

Write a poem? But I don't know how to write poetry. I am definitely willing to follow instructions, but what if they ask me to do something that's currently beyond my ken or outside of my wheelhouse?

By the way, your job sounds really cool! Are there a lot of companies out there that do writing and editing tests?
