Was a good 12hrs
Im a huge huge huge believer of there being a massive opportunity in disrupting education, and I mean beyond the “shoehorn tech into everything” approach.
Education in the general term is the literal liberating factor within an individual. The more you understand the world around you the more confident you become in that world.
That’s why I push all my people and anyone who is willing to listen towards tech and other industries that are more “merit based” on the spectrum. As well as gravitating towards well paying trades that can fund their future intellectual endeavors.
I can go on about education forever but I’ll just stop before I get carried away :)
Thank you for the kind words @jbhouse

Here’s how I went from being generationally poor to that:
1) Taught myself the skill. Really put my head down and learned.
2) Demonstrate you know what your doing and have a passion for it (fake it if you don’t and just want to get paid) through projects, contributions, volunteering, having your own site with mentioned projects writing etc. You’re building an image here.
3) Literally get your foot in the door anywhere, doesn’t matter how bad. Mine was at a local web dev shop locally as an “intern” in a tiny office w/ 4 people.
4) Start racking up XP and use that XP as leverage going forward. I mean really sell it. And always talk up your previous experience.
People tend to care more about experience, ability to get shit done, and personality over education in this field.
But yeah that was my experience having been in the same boat.
Also, I’ve seen a trend of terrible google support. Is this the norm?
Understanding some basic concepts in nutrition/wellness, such as macros and micros, calories, how Energy Expenditure (keeping you alive, walks, lifting weights, etc) and Energy Storage (Fat, Muscle, etc) all ties in with your unique genetics, body composition and lifestyle goes a long way.
Quick and dirty trick: be at a low Body Fat Percentage and have abdominal muscles (which we all do ha).
The capital to do it is certainly there.
