  • When I graduated college, I was interviewing with the charter school that my mom works at. They were looking for ANYBODY with a degree in physics. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t a licensed educator, it didn’t matter that all I had was a Bachelor’s degree. They were offering an annual salary of $42,000 per year.

    Two years later, I’m making over 4x that amount, annually, as a software engineer.

    I really would love to teach, because I love science and I love teaching. But I love financial stability and a good work/life balance wayyy more.









  • I’ve gained about 30 lbs (14kg) over the last two years. I fell out of the habit when I got my first job out of college, but now that I’m not working remotely I have a better schedule, yet I still have trouble maintaining motivation long enough to make a habit of it.

    I love running, but I can’t seem to make myself do it. With winter closing in again I worry that I won’t be able to muster the strength to go run outside again until the spring.

    Any tips or inspiration anyone could share would be appreciated.
