Mostly for clout. I understand downplaying the startup/corpo route bc it is largely gay and full of pageantry, but as someone who came from huckster high-ticket world I will say the transition to tech taught me a lot about navigating institutions. 1099 is attractive for many reasons but being able to put "ex- whatever" in bio I think does take you far no matter what you end up doing. Same way having a T20 degree doesn't really say that you're an expert in what you studied, but more that you "fit in" to a certain world.

My first grade teacher did a study for her master's where she interviewed the parents of gifted children she taught over her career. Her findings echoed this study. I grew up middle class but fatherless. Nothing "professional" about my upbringing. But my mom read to me *every* night before bed- not impressive literature by any means- but a dedicated time each evening for reading. Makes me wonder what I could have been if I had access to the classics or foreign languages from an earlier age.

one of the best gifts you can give your child is one of the simplest, and completely free (in terms of money) the "30 Million Word Gap" study is one of the most cited pieces of research in early childhood education researchers followed 42 families for 2.5 years, recording every word. by age 3, children in professional families had heard 45 million words. kids in poverty: 13 million the ramifications are long-lasting. even at ages 9-10, the kids exposed to more words had stronger language skills, vocabulary, and reading comprehension there is also a socioeconomic disparity here. the good news is, this may be solvable by simple talking more! the bad news is, it may be harder than it sounds. perhaps the disparity exists in the first place because low-SES parents focus more on making ends meet than talking to their kids so to summarize — you should be talk-maxxing as much as you can! narrate your day, respond to their babbling, read to them. talking is all you need
