Buy a copy of Edge of Tomorrow, a 2014 science fiction movie starring Tom Cruise.
You want to study this movie to see how Tom transforms himself from a zero to a hero!
Watch it over and over again. Tom is a superb actor. |

| I could have decided to become a scientist forty years ago. I was a semi-finalist in the Westinghouse Science Talent Seach and a top science student at a prep school. I got 5s on BC Calculus and Physics. But, I also figured out there were very few science jobs and a ton of people competing for those... |

My father retired at sixty. He had several investment properties so, even though mortgage wasn't paid off, was well-off with a nice pension.
I learned to play golf just before I retired at 59. I have a paid up house with beautiful gardens and a nice investment portfolio. |

There are really smart Chinese in the deep South of the USA.
Why are they there? They needed Chinese to blast tunnels for the railroads.
They bought in Chinese workers who knew how to work with explosives.
Most Americans didn't the skills or training required. |

Do you have a job right now?
It is hard to get a job if you don't have one.
I know a lady with excellent qualifications that took an entry level data entry job after raising some kids.
She is now one of the top ten employees in pay. |

Someone could do that from home! There may be hundreds of thousands of links and documents to move. Somone with autism ... |

| Welcome! I told my wife I as transgender before we got married but we still got together for 15 years until she passed from ALS. She was convinced I had autism but these days I think it is because my hard wired body language is female rather than male. The mismatch is gone now that I present female!... |

Part of the confusion is conflating gender with sexuality.
It may be less confusing to separate the two.
Most folks agree that a woman can be attracted to men. Heterosexual.
Woman can be attracted to other women. Lesbian.
Woman can be attracted to both men and women. Bisexual. |

| Like many here, I often found it awkward to socialize for decades. But, I discovered when I changed my gender presentation from male to female, I could do things automatically and the other person would respond without confusion. Could I have been learning the wrong gender clues? Maybe my appearance... |
