For my project I decided to pull from a Star Trek API that contains a list of all the species in the Star Trek franchise, with each species containing an internal list of specific information, such as homeworld, home quadrant, and several physiological attributes.
I’ve gone down several different career paths in my life, some of which have been academic, and some of which have not. In my undergraduate in college I studied History and Japanese Literature, and then returned a few years later to get my licensure in Secondary Education for Social Studies. All along, I worked in the service industry for a cumulative 16 years. After completing my education licensure I realized I lived in one of the lowest paid states for education in the developed world, and htat my 16 year career path into bartending was both lower stress and more lucrative, so I decided to stick with safe bet rather than risking a shift into education. When COVID hit, the entire landscape and future landscape of my industry in bartending became temporarily nonexistant, but also unpredictable in its future, so I decided to look into other options for more security.
