My challenge is that I seem more extroverted over emails/texts than I actually am. Anyone else?

Yeah... if you’re in the US then everyone expects you to be an extrovert.

I don’t think you understand what introversion is. Maybe read the book Quiet by Susan Cain.

I go through the exact same thing

Same.

Yea, it’s much easier to be extroverted in writing than in person even if it’s unintentional. And then people make assumptions 🤷🏻‍♀️

Response from a director, wow 🤩

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
