Inspired by a fellow #FirstGen #immigrant, I would like to deny having Pizza and Fries for dinner last night. #EpsteinFiles

While everyone is anticipating the latest comebacks and releases, I'm out here digging for 1st Gen K-Pop gold 🪙 @jemmesedi and I were talking about "Dreams Come True" which was covered by aespa in 2022. He enlightened me that this song was previously performed by SES in the late 90's. I had to look up that version and of course it's amazing. Such a hooky song, with great vocals and that awesome synth line.

Ich hatte aber früher nie den Berufswunsch „Wissenschaftlerin“. Ich bin #firstgen Akademikerin und Wissenschaft als Job stand bei mir anfangs gar nicht auf der Liste der möglichen Karrierewege.

This can be a great strategy to retool for your future--especially if you live in a state like New Mexico that takes educating a large proportion of #FirstGen college attendees as a serious priority, with in-state tuition almost A THIRD OF this article's stated average--which can often be reduced TO ZERO through state grants & financial assistance specifically aimed at helping these populations.

At these states' flagship institutions--like The University of New Mexico--the realities the article mentions of juggling work ,school, and home life are mitigated through widespread availability of classes online--but still taught by the same faculty you'd have on campus--and timed to fit your schedule. And through a campus culture and a faculty that honors the struggles you make, to make a better future.

Whether you're a new aspiring #undergraduate or an experienced professional with ANY technical degree contemplating a return to #GradSchool--like countless Soldiers I've mentored in the four decades since my OWN military career began--accredited programs like UNM Organization, Information & Learning Sciences (OILS), with degree & certificates from the bachelors to the Ph.D., can equip you with the evidence-based tools & methods at the intersection of recruiting, training, HR, and analytics, to design, lead, and evaluate the workforce readiness programs for your current organization, or charting an entirely new path.

What are you waiting for...?

Unpopular opinion? Being a first-gen also means you spend an evening with your family and you completely forget what academia even is. And you love every second of it.

Both of my parents never went to college and they both graduated with GEDs at different points in their life.

I'm a first gen college grad and trying to learn about investing, a master's degree, and be a teacher.
