Looks like you're off to a great start, @stanleyclark1
Well done on reflecting on what you'd really like to do. A word of advice from someone much older than you: life is long. You may end up doing many different things for work in your adult life :)
BTW, ProteanCreator is a lady :)
Oh I didn't realised that Protean is a she, my bad 😂
😁 If I'm ever unsure (because the username often doesn't make it obvious) then I click over to look if they have a photo of themselves either in their profile or on one of their posts. Some people don't share photos either because they're protective of their identity. So if it's important to me that I know their gender to be able to refer to them somewhere, then I read through a post or two and see if/when their language gives it away. It usually does. Happy journeying, Mister 😉
