My daughters keep asking me for a phone (smart phone as I have a flip phone). I informed them, they can have a phone when they are able to read a physical copy of the Wall Street Journal understand everything. This provides an assurance to

Thanks. While everything you said is true, its also a hell of rush. Hardest part of changing careers ... no rush with a daily dose of dopamine.

I have used a flip-phone for the past five years and two years before that I didn't use a cell phone at all. Though I didn't need to write an entire article defending my choice.

Every job is gatekeeping. You chose a path in life and it wasn't data analysis. Why would anyone interview you when there are 100's of other people that have the actual skill-set they are looking for?

Agree this is a US problem and I don't understand why. It doesn't hurt me why you didn't select me. You didn't think I would fit in culturally. Ok, no worries. You didn't think I knew enough of what you wanted to kn
