Heath Sisters PT 8 (USWNT x Teen!Reader)

Masterlist Heath Sisters Master List

USWNT X Teen!Reader

Y/N was asleep by the time they made it back to the hotel. Instead of waking her Tobin just lifted her on to her back before grabbing their bags. 

"Do you need any help with that?" Christen asks the older girl. 

"Uh no I've got it."

"Are you sure? It's no problem." 

Tobin nods slowly, "That would be great then. Thanks." Tobin hands off one of their bags and they make their way off of the bus. 

Most of the girls head straight to the meeting room where they would eat while going over some film. Tobin grabbed a plate for Y/N before bringing it up to their room. She left Y/N to sleep on the bed with the plate of food sitting on the night stand with a note reminding her to do her school work when she woke. 

After Tobin made her way back downstairs. 

"Is the superstar not joining us?" A Rod asks as Tobin grabs her own food. 

"No she's still asleep. Then she's got some school work to take care of."

"She's on vacation and you're still making her do work? That's just cruel man." Cheney says. 

"I might agree if she was actually on vacation. She's home schooled through an online program so she can work at her own pace. She's slated to be done with high school by this time next year, but she'll probably be done before summer is over if she has her way."

"What do you mean done with high school. Isn't she just started middle school?" 

"Life would be like a million times easier if that were the case. But no my sister stole all the smarts and is a genius both on and off the pitch."

"So what's she going to do about college?" 

"Well we haven't talked too much about specifics yet. We're waiting to see where I'll get drafted. And it's a lot of work to set up for a minor to be in college, no matter how smart they are."

"Aren't you being slated to go first over all? So you'll end up in Atlanta right?"

"That's the most likely case, but…" Tobin shrugs her shoulder, "you guys know the league. Players are getting traded left and right with no say. I can't leave Y/N in a city with out me."

Before either of the others could respond their attention was brought to the front screen. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N bolts up in bed. Sweat shining on her face and her breathing heavy. She frantically looks around the room for her sister hoping that Tobin will be there to help calm her down. 

After realizing that she is not there Y/N lies back down and curls herself into a ball trying to sooth herself. 

"Its ok. You're ok Y/N. You're ok. Everything is ok. Toby's just in a meeting she'll be back soon. It's ok." 

When Y/N finally controlled her breathing she started to smell the food coming from the side table. She peeked up at it and noticed the sandwich and the note. 

"Hey kid, hope you got some rest. I'm downstairs in the meeting room if you need me, but try to eat something and get some work done. Be up later. Love ya!"

- Toby

Y/N sighs and pulls the plate into her lap. She takes a few bites before getting up to grab her school stuff. She opens one of her note books and her computer. She finishes the rest of her sand which while she waits for it to decide whether or not it wants to boot up. 

The laptop was one that Tobin had picked up second hand at a garage sale and was about 12 years old. This meant that it was hard sometimes for Y/N to get her work done if the computer decided that it did not want to work. 

When Y/N finally got logged into her course she made a plan of everything that she wanted to get done during the two weeks that she was with her sister at camp. 

Once she is done with her plan she jumps in to her math work. She isn't a fan of the complicated statistics that she has to do despite being very good at it. 

Once she finishes the two lessons she wanted to get done for the week she pulls out her battered copy of The Great Gatsby. She started on the third chapter hoping to be over halfway done by the time Tobin came back to their room. 

About an hour and a half later Y/N closes the book at the half way point. Tobin wasn't back yet, but Y/N was done doing her work for the day. 

She goes over to her backpack and pulls out another note book. This one is a little smaller and more resembles a journal. 

She flips it open to the next blank page and makes a list of every player at camp. She then writes down notes and observations about each one of them based on what she saw at the first training session. 

Tobin Heath- Needs to come in for crosses to Wambach. She is a taller player so it needs to be higher when headed. Stay wider for passes to Press, need to connect right in front of goal. 

Abby Wambach- Most goals are scored by headers. 5'11, hangs out in front/to side of goal waiting for crosses in. Big goal scorer and always has some one on her. Need to see more. 

Most of the players have a 'need to see more' note ending Y/N's observations of them. She gets through five players before the door opens and Tobin walks in. A few very loud teammates following behind her. 

"Hey kid. Get some work done?" Tobin asks ignoring the girls following her. 

"Ya." Y/N nods. "Got a few stats lessons done and got about half way through my book for english." 

"Awesome. You working on your notes now?"

"Ya there was a lot that happened at practice today and I wanted to get it down before I forgot." Y/N looks up, "What's the loud one's name again?" She points to Kelley who is standing behind Tobin.

"Kelley?"

"Ya her. I was just about to start her page. I know coach has her playing in the midfield, and she's great at it and all, but I think if we at least moved her a little bit higher on the field it would be better. I also think having her on the wing is good. She's fast and has a lot of energy so if her positioning is tweaked and we get her to have a better read of the field she can literally just appear where she is needed before the defense can catch up."

.

.

.

"Who the fuck even are you kid? Where did you come from?"

Y/N flinches a little at her tone. "I came with Toby."

"That's not what I meant."

Y/N shrugs and goes to write everything she just said down in her note book. Before she can though it is snatched out of her hands. 

"H-hey…"

"Holy shit kid! Do you have notes on every person you have ever seen play soccer?"

Tobin takes the book out of her hands and gives it back to her sister. "Kelley if you are going to hang around my sister you have to be nice and respect her stuff. If you can't I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"Yeah Kelley be nice." A Rod says sarcastically. 

"I just wanted to see. And what if I don't want her taking notes on me?"

"Trust me Kelley you want her taking notes on you. It might seem like she takes notes on everyone, but that's not the case." Tobin explains. 

"Ok then who does she take notes on?" Chaney asks.

Tobin looks at Y/N but she simply shrugs. 

"Is there some type of criteria that needs to be met or something?" 

Y/N shakes her head. "No… well kinda I guess. It's just a feeling I get. When something or someone might be important. So I write it down. It's kind of different right now though. I'm taking notes on all of you cause you're my sisters teammates, so I guess that automatically makes you important. No feeling needed."

Kelley wraps her arm around the kids neck, "So you think I'm important. Hear that guys? Wonder kid said I'm important."

"She thinks we're all important." A Rod says. 

They continue to bicker between the three of them. They are so caught up that none of them notice that Y/N stopped breathing the moment Kelley put her arm on her. 

She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to keep herself as still as possible. 

"Kelley! Kelley can you not?" Tobin tried, but her teammate was not listening. Once realizing that the other girl was not going to listen Tobin resorted to pulling her arm off of Y/N. She then pushed all three of the girls out of the room angrily before slamming the door in their faces.

Why More Black Women Are Entering the STEM Field & Why It Matters

Black women are breaking barriers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) like never before, stepping into fields that have historically lacked diversity. While STEM careers offer high salaries, innovation, and job security, the push for Black women in these spaces is about more than just representation—it’s about creating generational wealth, closing opportunity gaps, and ensuring our voices shape the future of technology, medicine, and science.

Why Black Women Are Choosing STEM:

1. High Earning Potential & Job Security – STEM careers often come with six-figure salaries and strong career growth.

2. Innovation & Impact – From medical breakthroughs to tech advancements, Black women are making history in fields that shape society.

3. Representation Matters – Seeing Black women succeed in STEM inspires the next generation to pursue these careers.

4. Closing the Opportunity Gap – More scholarships, mentorship programs, and initiatives are making STEM more accessible.

5. Entrepreneurial Freedom – Many Black women in STEM are starting their own businesses, consulting firms, and tech startups.

How to Enter the STEM Field:

• Education & Training: Look into STEM-focused degrees, boot camps, and certifications.

• Networking & Mentorship: Join organizations like Black Girls Code, NSBE, or STEM Noire for guidance.

• Internships & Scholarships: Take advantage of programs designed to support Black women in STEM.

• Build Skills & Confidence: Develop coding, engineering, or research skills through online courses and hands-on projects.

Black women belong in STEM, and the more we step into these fields, the more we change the future. The time is now—let’s innovate, lead, and break ceilings together.

Commander Tara Shepard Bio (Pre-ME1)

Here it is! I finally finished Tara’s pre-ME bio and wanted to make an introduction post in addition to her character page. Eventually, I plan to do a write-up for each game, but that’s work for later, lol. Under a cut bc it’s ~960 words. Oops.

I hope you enjoy! 🥰

Tara Margaret Shepard was born on 11 April 2154 aboard Hypatia Station in the Euler system to Hannah and Owen Shepard. Her parents were officers in the Systems Alliance Navy. Both were eager to be at the forefront of humanity’s expansion into the stars. Owen, an engineer, was stationed there as part of the team coordinating the construction of Arcturus Station. Unlike Owen, Hannah served on ships and was often gone on deployments, leaving Tara with her father.

During the chaos of the First Contact War, Tara went to live with her grandmother in Dublin—her first trip to Earth. Months passed before she saw her parents again. When the war was over, Tara returned home to the stars.

Tara was a pleasant and inquisitive child. There were rarely other children on her parents’ postings, and few were around her age. Additionally, her parents chose to use an online homeschooling program rather than send her to school somewhere. Adults often complimented Tara for her maturity at a young age, but it was primarily a result of her isolated upbringing and military discipline. Tara’s skill in tech started with her father, who was always eager to encourage his daughter’s interest.

Tara knew from a young age that she wanted to join the Alliance. She never considered any other career options. Throughout her teenage years, Tara worked towards joining the Alliance and surprised her parents by announcing her intention to join right out of high school. Hannah always assumed that she would go to college first and join later, as her parents had. Nevertheless, Tara was committed to her choice, even graduating in the fall semester of her senior year so she could spend the time until her birthday preparing herself for the rigorous undertaking of boot camp. Despite misgivings from Hannah, Tara went to the recruitment office and enlisted on her 18th birthday, leaving for boot camp in Brazil a few weeks later.

After completing basic training, Tara specialized as a sniper and technical expert. Her aptitude scores earned her choice placement in the fleet, serving with the marine detail aboard the SSV Yorktown as her first posting. She enjoyed the challenges that active duty threw her way, as well as the camaraderie of her fellow soldiers. Her determination and sense of responsibility had her marked for leadership positions early in her career. Serving in the Alliance gave Tara a sense of purpose and belonging she’d always hoped for, and she eagerly reenlisted when her initial contract came up in 2176.

Not long after she reenlisted, Tara was on Elysium with her crewmates from the SSV Milan when the Skyllian Blitz began. When the pirates started landing, Tara rallied her friends and any colonists who were willing to help fight back and defend Elysium. Under Tara’s unofficial command, they split into several groups to harass the batarians from all sides and force them out of the colony.

While the other teams moved to flank them, Tara led a team to retake the Alliance garrison from the pirates and reactivate Elysium’s planetary defense systems.

The fighting was fierce. By the time her squad made it to the base, they were exhausted and had taken casualties. The assault was relentless. Hours passed. Casualties mounted on both sides. Tara’s reactivation of the planetary defenses decidedly turned the tide in favor of the Alliance troops on the ground. Then the pirates shifted focus—zeroing in on the marines holding the garrison.

As the batarians threw the bulk of their forces against Tara’s wearied team, one of her friends leading one of the diversion squads requested assistance—they’d suffered heavy casualties, and their position was in danger of being overrun. Tara swore she would personally come to reinforce them as soon as the garrison was secured, but the batarians broke through their makeshift defenses and she had no choice but to abandon her comrade to his fate in order to hold her position and safeguard the rest of the colony.

When Alliance reinforcements finally arrived, the full scope of the thwarted attack on Elysium became apparent, as did Tara’s role in defending Elysium. She was rapidly promoted to Lieutenant, awarded the Star of Terra, and offered a position at the Interplanetary Combatives Training Academy in a short span of time.

Tara was conflicted and hesitant about accepting the invitation; she was uncomfortable with the adulation (and notoriety) that came after the Blitz. She felt as though she didn't deserve the lion’s share of praise and accolades for her actions on Elysium, when other people lost their lives defending the colony. Committing to N7 training would be an enormous responsibility, and she wanted to be sure before she took that step in her career.

At the ceremony on Arcturus Station where she was awarded the Star of Terra, Tara was approached by Captain David Anderson, who extended an invitation to her in person and strongly encouraged her to accept—and she did. N7 training was demanding, yet rewarding, and Tara found that she thrived there. The arduous training only strengthened her resolve to serve the Alliance and earn the trust that had been placed in her.

Graduating from the N7 training program was one of the proudest moments of Tara’s life. In time, she was assigned as the executive officer of the SSV Tokyo, serving under Captain Anderson. She already respected him a great deal, and they became close friends during the years they served together. In 2183, Captain Anderson was reassigned to the SSV Normandy, a brand-new prototype frigate. He requested several of the senior officers from Tokyo to be assigned to Normandy, including Tara, along with a small crew hand-picked from the Alliance’s best. The Normandy set out on her shakedown run—no one aboard suspecting the galaxy-changing events about to unfold.

[bitchesgetriches]

Hey bitches! When it comes to changing careers, is it worth it to enroll in a boot camp or other such school program or would you have better luck going for internships and then working your way up? From my research, people generally seem to think you should work rather than go to school, but for fields like cybersecurity, I feel like you need that basis of coursework to even be hired, is that right?

I think it really depends on the field! There are some jobs that absolutely require professional certifications or academic degrees. Others not so much! I've met a bunch of self-taught coders, self-taught carpenters, and self-taught small business owners, but not a single self-taught surgeon, self-taught somme, or self-taught elementary school teacher.

So research what you'd like to do starting with the path there. Reach out to professionals in your preferred field and see if any will hook you up with an informational interview or a brief email outlining how they got where they are. People will be honest about the requirements it takes to get where they are.

For example: it took ZERO certifications or higher degrees to become loudmouthed online advice-givers, and YEARS of unearned confidence and learning from our own mistakes to deliver the flawless Bitches you see before you today.

Bea Arthur webpage reinstated after Trump DEI purge

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/bea-arthur-webpage-reinstated-after-trump-dei-purge/

Bea Arthur webpage reinstated after Trump DEI purge

A webpage about the late Golden Girls actress and gay icon Bea Arthur has been reinstated after falling foul of the Trump administration’s campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Previously, X account ‘tortured marketing department’ (@swiftillery) revealed the page about Arthur on the US Department of Defense (DOD) website had been scrubbed.

Arthur, who died in 2009, enlisted in 1943 as one of the first members of the United States Marine Corps Women’s Reserve.

After boot camp, she served as a typist at marine headquarters in Washington DC, before the Marine Corps accepted her transfer request to the Motor Transport School at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

She worked as a truck driver in North Carolina in 1944 and 1945, and reached the rank of Sergeant before she was honourably discharged in September 1945.

Page not found

From at least 20 March 2025, the page on the DOD website documenting Arthur’s military service began displaying a ‘404 – Page Not Found’ error message.

The URL contained the letters ‘DEIbefore’, adding credence to the theory it was a victim of US President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI campaign.

Previously, Trump’s defence secretary Pete Hegseth announced the military had until 5 March to “remove all DOD news and feature articles, photos and videos that promote [DEI]”.

The mention of DEI in the URL, and Hegseth’s order, led many to conclude Arthur’s page was deliberately yanked.

Bonus chapter of Women’s History Month in honor of the program scrubbing DOD web articles. Meet Bea Arthur, iconic Golden girl actress and one of the first women to join the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve.

Her page has been removed.

Back from the dead

But now, it appears to have been reinstated.

At time of writing, the page canvassing Arthur’s military service and subsequent entertainment career, was accessible.

The summary of Bea Arthur’s life, written by David Vergun, contains extensive information about the actress, including her support of DEI.

“Arthur was born Bernice Frankel and was raised in a Jewish home in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. She was a longtime champion of equal rights for women and an active advocate for the elderly and Jewish communities in her major television roles, charity work and personal outspokenness,” one section says.

Gay icon

Another passage states: “She embraced the gay community, which had supported her professionally since the 1970s. Late in life, Arthur took up the cause of homelessness among LGBTQ+ youths.”

One of the biggest gay icons of the 20th century, Arthur initially attracted the community’s attention through her camp roles in Broadway musicals.

She played the role of Vera Charles in the original Broadway production of Mame from 1966 to 1970.

Sassy roles on television – including Maude Findlay in Maude (1972-1978) and Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls (1985 to 1992) – bolstered her status as a community favourite.

Multiple episodes of The Golden Girls dealt with LGBT+ issues, with Dorothy displaying inclusive attitudes.

Arthur’s charity work for queer youth cemented her status as a rainbow community favourite.

When she passed away at the age of 89, she left $300,000 to a shelter for homeless gay teenagers in her will.

The performer was also a long-term benefactor to the Ali Forney Centre, a New York-based homeless LGBT+ charity.

While she was twice married to men (Robert Alan Aurthur from1944 to 1950 and Gene Saks from 1950 to 1978) there were persistent rumours that she was a lesbian or bisexual.

It remains to be seen whether her DOD webpage stays online.

[xpc-web-dev]

Hi! I have just recently deciding to switch careers and leave the vet industry , go into tech. Have spent past 2 years in tech school to become a vet assistant but after being in my field, I always wondered how it would be like to have a career in tech, ive always thought for so long that being in tech comes w Math and science and i suck at both 🤣🤣🤣. so I’m deciding to enroll myself in a completely online program to become an IT tech yet i have always admired hacking and coding so without getting sooo much into it, which leads me to my question:

- what do I have to do to be in the code career?

- do I have to go to boot camp out of my state or should look into going online completely?

- is coding beginner friendly especially as someone who doesn’t have ABSOLUTE NO IDEA about coding?

Please let me know and I love that I have found a community of women jn the tech industry, it’s pretty inspiring which why I want to go into the tech career.

Hi Stone, first of all welcome to our small and growing community.

I'm glad you're giving yourself this chance to try technology and see if it's for you or go back to vet or even go to art(yes I stalked you UEUHEHUEHUE) and I also thank you for finding my opinion relevant.

As you said that you wanted a career and that you are interested in coding and hacking, here you need to choose which one to prioritize. Because whether back-end, front-end, mobile, fullstack or cybersecurity there will be a lot to study, practice, make mistakes and practice again.

Here I give an addendum that if you don't know what these areas mean in technology, I recommend doing a search, reading and watching videos on youtube about it to see what might please you.

So based on what you've told me, again I think the best first step is to know what you want to prioritize and what you want to make money from.

Because trust me, you won't be able to study everything together at the same time. And if you manage to find an hour, there will be a burnout, so take it easy my friend. (from personal experience)

Even more so if you want a job, it's best to focus on 1 and then move on to others. Then find out what might be best for you / what you most identify with.

I also like hacking, I have books and I have already found courses. But this is something I want to study as a hobby and a safety measure (after all, there's no shortage of motherfuckers doing shit with others with that knowledge). So I put it in the background. Because my priority is money and hacking has work, but not in my country.

Now about entering the code career. Despite being a junior/student, I've seen a lot and I've also learned in these 2 years in the technology community in my country and watching you from the outside, so I can have a more mature view to help you with that.

So let's go:

1) - To know what you need to do to enter your career in code, you need to know how the technology market is in your country.

Because with all these layoffs, we have a lot of professionals with experience and academically well qualified and depending on the country, we currently have more demand for professionals than job offers. (Here in Brazil this is happening, because the layoffs in North America reflected here).

And here I don't want to discourage you, I just want to give you a realistic parameter for you to enter the area without illusions and not get frustrated like me and a bunch of people on the internet. (I wish someone had guided me like that). Because what we have most on social media is people making it seem like programming is easy and getting a job is even easier, or that you're going to earn A LOT since you're just a junior and THAT'S NOT THE REALITY..

BUT all the effort pays off in the end.

Within that, here I think it's cool that you try to observe what vacancies in your country ask for juniors/interns.

From Skills like knowing python to asking college or accepting bootcamp. See what's most in demand out there and within that see if you like what's in demand.

I tell you this, because here in Brazil, for example, we currently have more vacancies for internships (and here you need to be enrolled in a college to do an internship) than for juniors without college and only with bootcamps. So if we want a job around here, the first thing is to go to college and not be completely self-taught. So again, research and study your country's technology market.

In my conception TODAY getting a job in programming without college will be 10x more difficult than in 2020 for example, things have changed. The market now is not lacking developers, quite the contrary, now it has hight demands from developers but not for JOBS.

What the market wants most are senior people (and I've seen seniors I know saying that after layoffs even for them it's more willing to get a job, again supply and demand), but there are still opportunities for us beginners, in some countries there are more and in others less.

Speaking in the sense of the United States from what I observed from the US (content producers and twitter) + my experiences here in Brazil.I don't know the current situation of the technology market in Africa, the rest of Latin America , Asia and Europe.

Of course, you can be lucky and succeed without , but I, for one, got tired of believing that I would be lucky and be one of those people who succeed and changed my strategy to get a job.

Or you could also join a job-guaranteed bootcamp. Check how it works and if you have this type in your country.

And here we come to your second question.

2) The answer is it depends.

For example, will this bootcamp in your state guarantee you a job or is it possible to do an internship at a company or will it connect you with companies after the program?Or is he recognized by technology companies in your state?

If so, I would recommend doing it and dedicating yourself to getting in.

Because look, if they guarantee you an job is even better , you'll just have to study and do what they tell you to get your job.

But if you don't guarantee it, but this training has merit/respect in the market, it also pays off.

Here, I wanted to take the opportunity and talk about apprenticeship.

In our community we have our queen @xiacodes @xiabablog (it's the same person), she did an apprenticeship and today she is a junior developer in UK .

She shared her journey on her blog and is also the most engaged and resource sharing person in our community.

Here I would like to say that FOR ME Apprenticeship is one of the smartest strategies today to get into the technology market.

I myself will start on a Monday and it was my solution to get a job in code by the end of the year. (I'll talk about this in another post too)

So I recommend looking for apprenticeship in your country / state and how they work there.

And obviously observe and read the rules of the program to see if there are any catches that put you in absurd debt or contractual fines.

And see if you can handle it if you have the possibility.

Here I give an addendum that if you find an apprenticeship but that you will earn little in the beginning, for you to analyze well before saying no. Because salary we can evolve after we have experience, the important thing for us juniors/students is to get the first experience and the rest later becomes easier. (At least that's what the Mid /seniors I know say)

Now if in your country you don't have this kind of opportunity, I would recommend trying to see if it would be possible to do bootcamp/online courses + college to get an internship.

And you don't even have to start with paid courses, in my opinion if the bootcamp won't guarantee you a job, it's not worth paying for it. We have a lot of free resources on the internt (youtube biggest school) .

But it's up to you.

Free Courses:

-Freecodecamp

-Odin project (And it has both fullstack with ruby ​​and with node.js. )

For me, paying will only pay off when you don't find quality resources for what you want to study. So I would advise you to always think about whether it pays off or not.

Accessible paid courses:

- Codecademy

- Udemy (there are good courses there and there are always promotions)

+++ Here I also wanted to talk about knowing that public colleges (100% free) are not possible in all countries or when they are, they are very elective and difficult to get into for poor people as it is here in Brazil.

But here despite that, studying A LOT to pass the exams and having worked to save money and support yourself until you get scholarships to support yourself (and if you do), you manage to get into the best colleges that are free and that is more viable than being poor and being able to pay for college in the US, for example.

So I know that it might not be very viable depending on where you live and whether or not you are a resident of the country.

So I don't know if college can be an affordable thing for you, but if not that you can find the best strategy to achieve your financial prosperity in technology!

But if you are from the United States for example, this week I discovered this spotify program: https://fellowship.spotify.com/

The one where they only hire people with bootcamps and not colleges and open in the summer there.

And despite the layoffs, I still think there are more entry level openings there than here HUEHUEEHEU.

3) What do you mean by friendly?

If you mean easy, no, she probably won't be friendly to you at all AND THAT'S OKAY.

As you yourself said that you know absolutely nothing, it will be natural for you to have difficulty, to think about giving up and to make a lot of mistakes to get it right.

It's going to be a process of failing and trying again and again.

NOTHING IS EASY. And since you've already taken a veterinary course, I think you already know that things are really difficult. So this is another reminder that it won't be any different here.

BUT it will end well because EVERYTHING IS LEARNED.

And that also goes for math, if you ever have to deal with it (and if you go to cs college you will) you will make a lot of mistakes, but you will succeed, because EVERYTHING IS LEARNED based on trial and error.

And that doesn't mean you're bad or stupid, just that you're learning something completely from scratch. It won't be overnight that you will understand, it may take months or years, but persisting you will succeed. THIS IS NORMAL.

I cried (literally) to do conditional algorithms in 2021, I banged my head in books, said I would never make it and felt like the biggest dumbass in the world and today 2023 are the easiest things for me. I have no problem making them.

And that was only possible because I didn't give up.

Here I wanted to advise you to start your programming studies with low expectations, to help you manage your frustrations and maybe burnouts. It won't be overnight that you will become the best programmer and do many projects at the level of a senior developer or the people who do tutorials on youtube.

They will be small steps that lead you to your goals in studies. Again, constants.

There are people who could get their ek code jobs in 3 to 6 months of study.

BUT FOR ME, currently having a plan to get an opportunity between 2 years and 4 years (if you actually go to college) study is the healthiest way to pursue your studies and goals. If you get it sooner, even better for you, but if not, you'll be fine with yourself because it's within the period you stipulated.

Finally, I ask you not to take anything I say as absolute truth.

Question what you read Take what I said, analyze it and see how it works in your reality.

I also recommend trying to find women in technology from your country on linkedin and see if they can help you with tips and so on. I feel very good knowing so many Brazilian women in tech since I did this, my network there is composed only of them precisely to create a place without judgment but of welcome and inspiration.

Well, I invested about 3 hours answering the best way I can, I hope you read it and that it helps you.

Anything, if you want to talk more, you can call me in the chat, I'll take a while but I'll answer.

I wish you good studies, discernment to see which is the best path for you and that you stay well! Lots of protection in studies and career.

[regina-bithyniae]

So I'm considering whether to go to grad school for econ. Could you offer any suggestions for, like, (classic) papers to read for an advanced undergraduate, the reading of which might help discern whether one has the aptitude/interest sufficient to go to grad school? esp. like, The Papers You Should've Read in Undergrad type papers

Starter warning: I did a masters of economics, not a full PhD. But I did strongly consider the PhD for a while and did research, and know people who did one (@powermonger please chime in), classmates who are doing one now, or dropped out of one.

I'd actually say you are looking at it the wrong way. Econ grad school is first a boot camp of Math/Microeconomics/Macroeconomics/Econometrics. My MA had this for one semester, in a PhD it's a year. This is not fun, and was where I decided I didn't want to go onto the PhD. I could handle the cycle of 10-12 hour workdays and then getting wasted on Fridays, but I didn't have any singular topic that I loved enough to commit myself to 2 more years of this plus research, and then the grind for tenure over.

The number one filter here is math. In undergraduate you'd need multivariable calculus, linear algebra, several courses of statistics (some of these should be part of any bachelors in econ). Econ grad school actually prefers math/engineering majors to generalist econ.

After the death grind, you move on to field-related coursework, which is more related to your specific area of study. This corresponds more towards reading papers and writing your own, delving into the datasets and doing your own causal research. This is more fun. After this comes writing your thesis proper - summer semester for me, or the later years of a PhD.

If you want to see what modern economics research looks like, check out the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and see the papers that go up. You can also try the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) for more general-public readable introductions to research.

Noah Smith is a guy who got an economics PhD to be better at arguing online and has some pages:

[amazing-spiderling]

fic writer asks: 1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

25. What other websites or resources do you use most often when you write?

I'm going to be a little cheaty- since there's two fandoms I've written a chunk for, I'd leave it up to the reader as to which they'd prefer, but they both have a lot in common.

If someone was of the Metal Gear persuasion, I'd tell them to read "Rat in a Foxhole", which is a story that consumed my brain and I think I was smashing out a chapter a day or something, because I was SO INSPIRED by a piece of artwork (itself, an album redraw) that my brain was on fire and the only way to get it out was to put the words on the screen. The fic has a bit to do with some information we get from MGS 5, specifically that Huey had intended for his son Hal to be a child mech pilot (the pilots needed to be small because of the limitations of the size of the cockpit). My brain immediately got to wondering about what would happen to such a child pilot once they grew and "aged out" of the program (or the program shut down because wtf). Then I saw @polmcarts artwork of a version of Hal and Dave meeting in some kind of bootcamp and the plot was born.

It's a sort of... meditative fic? I often imagine my stories as screenplays, and if it was viewed in that way, there would be a lot of long silences, detail shots, vast open landscapes etc. It does, of course, include a drawn out winter arc because I'm that bitch, and it's got a few twists and turns before (of course) ultimately ending on a hopeful note.

Likewise "The Man in the Mask" is a Spideypool AU that envisions an alternate meeting, and one of the characters not being forthcoming with who they are and why they're there. This one was another story that was really burning a hole in my brain, although it took me a lot longer to get it out. Having a little Marvel familiarity (with mutants and the legacy virus in particular) helps, but I've had people tell me that I did a good enough of a job explaining the concept in the fic that they weren't too lost. This one reads a bit like a "bottle episode" with the two characters more or less trapped in a single apartment and making the best of it. (I guess you could say Dave and Hal were trapped in the boot camp in the first one, so there's that.) For a story about Wade and Peter, this one also has a lot of introspection and quiet moments before a few things bubble over.

Just like the first story, this one had people screaming at me before they finished off the last chapter, which I think is a bit of a feather in my cap as a writer, it means I sold the drama and brought things to a satisfying conclusion. I call both of these some of my "weird ones" because they're extremely niche AUs that I wrote for myself, so it really makes me happy when they ping with people. I wish I had ideas like these more often.

17. I kind of have a bug in my brain about doing a fantasy adjacent Earth-65 AU featuring "The Merry Janes" and I guess AUs of AUs counts as niche... Oh, god and I really want to write a 616 or NMCU (or combo) one about Matt and Foggy being academic rivals and complaining about each other online anonymously and becoming friends (and more) without realizing. I was watching a compilation of 90's/2000's anime intros and the beginning of "His and Her Circumstances" started spooling little ideas in my head. And now that I'm on a roll, my brain is like "Lol what if Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne AU" where Matt is a "holy thief" stealing/exorcising relics and Foggy is on the side of the law trying to bring him in sfdkdsjflj And of course there's the Madoka E-65 AU I want to flesh out at some point, but that might be a better comic than story. Moral of the story is, Anime: Not Even Once.

25. thesaurus.com LOL I don't actually do a lot of looking at resources when I'm actually writing and I don't have a lot of "go to" pages for things, it's kind of random. I will do searches for things like "what year was this thing invented", but I don't have a bookmarked tab of "popular weapons in ancient china and how to use them" or anything like that. I guess I use Youtube a lot to listen to vapor/chillwave mixes while I write, is that anything? I guess a resource I use is the sprintbot in discord (and my fellow server members) to help get my brain to focus. I keep meaning to try that website that has little doodads on it to help adhd brains focus on writing but i keep forgetting.

The Best Programming Languages For Beginners

When choosing the right programming language, it’s essential to consider your goals and career. You want to make sure that you choose a programming language that is both in demand and easy to learn. Python is an ideal choice for beginners because it reads like English and has a simplified syntax. It’s also versatile and can be used for anything from web development to software development.

Python

Python is a popular general-purpose programming language that’s easy to learn for beginners and widely used in web development, machine learning, art, automation, and more. It also has a vast community of resources that are available to new programmers.

Java is another widely used programming language, especially for mobile app development. It’s used at companies of all sizes (including HubSpot!) and is one of the easiest to learn if you want to develop for a variety of platforms.Better is to click here or visit our official website to know about Programming question answer.

C is an older programming language but still a good choice for beginners because it’s more “machine-level” and gives you the lowest-level control over computer hardware. It’s also the most common base for other languages, like C# and Ruby.

Java

Despite being not as beginner-friendly as Python, Java is a good programming language to start with. It's a general-purpose programming language with a versatile library and free online tutorials.

It's also a cross-platform language, which makes it suitable for mobile and desktop applications. It's the language of choice for Android development and used in a number of enterprise-level software applications.

C is one of the oldest languages and forms the basis for modern languages like Python, Java, and JavaScript. However, it has a low level of abstraction and requires that code is compiled (translated into machine-readable code) before it can be run. This can make it difficult for beginners to understand. Moreover, its syntax can be confusing. But, it's an excellent foundation for more advanced language learning.

Many people are interested in learning programming, but choosing the best language can be intimidating. Luckily, there are plenty of resources to help you get started. You can learn the basics of multiple languages with a coding boot camp, such as the Georgia Tech Coding Boot Camp, which offers a variety of courses including HTML, JavaScript, and jQuery.

Other popular languages include C, which is a general-purpose, compiled language that’s widely used in back-end software applications like web servers. Python is a versatile programming language that’s easy to learn for beginners and can be used in any application. Ruby is a dynamic, object-oriented language that’s commonly implemented using the Rails framework. Its concise syntax and convention-over-configuration approach makes it easier to build and deploy apps.

Perl

Perl is a high-level dynamic general-purpose scripting language. It is popular among system administrators for its text-processing capabilities, specifically its own in-built version of regular expressions. It is also used for web development and GUI programming.

Beginners can start learning the basics of the programming language by following the free online courses offered on Udemy. These courses begin with basic theory and then move on to specific aspects of the language. They include topics such as lists, arrays, and subroutines. They also cover how to handle errors in coding. Perl has a large community of developers, with over 230 local groups, mailing lists and support/discussion websites. It is also open source and supports more than 25,000 extension modules on CPAN. This flexibility makes it an ideal programming language for beginners.

HTML

Computer programming allows us to create the software and applications that make our lives easier, more entertaining, and more efficient. But deciding which language to learn can be a difficult choice for beginners, particularly when there are so many options available.

Programming languages may seem different on the surface, but they all have similar structures and features. This means that whichever language you choose to learn, you’ll be learning important coding concepts that will be applicable to any other languages you might decide to explore later on.

Before deciding which programming language to learn, it’s important to consider your goals and current skill level. Once you’ve identified your goals, it’s easy to narrow down your options and find the best programming language for beginners.

-your bachelors degree will say that you graduated from the 4 year school, you don’t have to list the 2 year/ community college on your resumé you can just put the school where you got the bachelors degree

-there is an incredibly serious shortage of skilled tradespeople in the US because everyone went into STEM and now there are no CDL-certified truck drivers or electricians so a lot of those jobs are paying really well now, and a lot of companies will subsidize the cost of getting certified (especially if you go for a CDL to do commercial truck driving; most just require you get the CDL permit on your own, which is a written test, then they’ll pay for your classes or lessons)

-ps trade schools and two year schools and most professional certification courses are eligible for federal financial aid

-you can go into tech without having a bachelors degree or going to college, between online learning & certification places like coursera, where you can receive lessons and testing for real certifications in different topics, coding and programming boot camps that are popping up everywhere (which are eligible for federal financial aid as trade schools), as well as continuing education programs (which also often offer certifications), there are plenty of ways to break into basically any branch of tech without having to pay college prices. not having a bachelors degree will eventually cap out your ability to move upwards, but a lot of companies also offer tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement—and not just tech, either. when i worked for Mobile and for Staples, they were offering 100% tuition assistance if you went into business or management degrees. i’m sure there were stipulations, but it’s not an uncommon kind of program.

-fields like shipping logistics are also short handed and it’s something that can be learned with online classes, continuing education, trade schools, etc (or as a bachelors if you prefer)

we’ve honestly gone far beyond the saturation point of people going to college, to the point where a master’s degree might be useless but a single certification in Python or an apprenticeship as a custom bath and shower glass cutter & fitter could be extremely lucrative

every year we have to say it

Education Insider Magazine |Top STEAM Education Services

Introduction

In a rapidly evolving world fueled by innovation, traditional education models are no longer enough. Today’s learners must be equipped with a diverse set of skills that bridge creativity, critical thinking, and technology. This is where STEAM education services come in—an approach that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics to nurture well-rounded, future-ready students.

What is STEAM Education?

STEAM is an educational philosophy that goes beyond textbook learning by combining analytical and creative disciplines. Unlike STEM (which focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), STEAM includes the arts, emphasizing design thinking, empathy, and innovation. It fosters problem-solving and encourages students to connect concepts across disciplines.

The Role of STEAM Education Services

STEAM education services provide the infrastructure, tools, and programs needed to implement STEAM effectively in schools, afterschool programs, and even online learning platforms. These services can include:
