Imposter Syndrome! First time, I guess.

CareerImposter Syndrome! First time, I guess.

Posted July 7, 2021 by Jack_the_Lass in STEM

Hi ladies,

I'm 41 years old and decided to go back to school and get a degree and make a career change.

After a couple of semesters I discovered I love math and want to pursue it.I'm a bit behind schedule because I just came at it late, started my college math career placing into Intermediate Algebra.

Anyways, I'm not daunted! I love it so much! My wife is a STEM phd in Biology (and a radfem, lucky me) and she understands my feelings.

How do you deal with imposter syndrome?

Mine is really heavy right now because I decided to major in math while still being so early in my math studies.
