Data is coming from BLS. Their data lags the true state of affairs, and their growth projections are never reliable. Remember when they touted from 2000-2010 that Actuaries are the hottest growing field with the best forward looking outlook?

I’m glad someone pointed this out about the case study/brain teaser interviews:
> “Many wealthier students have a sense of this, he says, from parents or networks, but to low-income students—save the handful who receive coaching—it’s utterly counterintuitive. “This is one of the major ways that consulting firms—and, really, investment banking firms—block low-income students,” Portela said. For all practical purposes, the case study “is in another fucking language.”
Being raised on welfare and paying for college on my own, I hated the post-grad interview cycle because it seemed so asinine. Almost 20 years later, I’m somewhat better at knowing how to answer these questions, but I can’t help but to acknowledge the cynical side of these questions in finding surreptitious ways (either intentionally or unintentionally) discriminate against low-income candidates.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a similar concept, but orthogonal application of that concept: when immediate/short-term incentives are not there, how do you reward workers in the trenches (scientists and engineers in this case) to push forward and make the best decision for science, even if it’s not the best decision for the business/entity?
Eh, idk who Hinton is, but I’d cut him some slack for making both statements- I could imagine a case where “creatives” can semantically be understood as “new blue collar.” Musicians, dancers, photographers… are not blue color manufacturing employees, but they are fiscally more similar than their white collar counterparts. It’s possible he used inconsistent terms because he really means “low-wage employees who are far away from the monetary benefit creation decisions,” but that’s a mouthful
Thanks for the feedback. SEO is definitely a work in progress. To that end, I've created this to-be-published page (https://www.mendskin.co/pages/mend-skin-guide) which is meant to be a "crash course" on skincare.
The world of skincare is vast, and I intend on creating newsletters to better inform potential customers what they should be looking for. Very Soon.
I launched a men’s skincare line about 3 months ago (https://www.mendskin.co) which isn’t “successful” yet, but it’s my first experience selling physical goods and I think these things take time.
It’s tough. There’s a reason a lot of companies spend $1MM from investors before launching a product, but I wanted to test the hypothesis that this need not be the case. “Beauty products” (for lack of a better term) definitely require heavy capital, and it’s becoming hard to do everything by myself. All the individual things that need to be done aren’t hard- it’s just that there’s so much to do in order to deliver successful physical products.
I think what you're trying to ask is: Is being labeled gay grounds for imprisonment? Or does one have to be caught in the act of fornicating with a male to be imprisoned? I'm sure it depends on the jurisdiction, but many jurisdictions that have this kind of explicit law usually frowns upon homosexuality so much, that the mere accusation is enough to be damaging.
