I am not technical however I can follow instructions very well. When people were migrating i read a bunch of the stuff and finally got here.
I’m a math education major and a stay at home mom
My MIL can program cobol but can’t use her iphone lol
This applies to me, except I’m an English major and had to cheat to pass high school math even with a full time tutor! I’m not intimidated by technical stuff though; when I get stuck I can usually find the answers by Googling. I did get pretty frustrated by how many times I had to try to simply get an account opened, and I still hate that I can’t see my password when I log in.
The ability to google effectively is actually a really underappreciated skill. You can get by or even excel in many careers on that alone.
