Ein kurzer Privilegien-Check vorab: ich komme aus einem Akademiker*innen-Haushalt (meine Eltern sind #FirstGens), in dem Geldsorgen, sofern vorhanden, zumindest nie bei mir angekommen sind. Ich habe zwar nie Hockey gespielt oder ein Auto geschenkt bekommen, hatte aber trotzdem alle Möglichkeiten.

Hi Bluesky! My name is Elyssa, & I am a first-gen premed applying to med school in 2025. I love learning & giving people study advice, mostly for the MCAT. I’m all about healthcare for the underserved, lowering financial barriers to med school, & not gatekeeping all things premed! Let’s be friends!

FirstGens! Hier auch… wenn ich ehrlich bin, kenne ich aber auch Gefühl zwischen Neid (ja!) und Fassungslosigkeit angesichts der Monetarisierung von Fähigkeiten und der Vervielfältigung alten Wohlstands.

As a firstgen polisky scholar,I'm struck by how the class pay gap is often overlooked.Limited opportunities,weaker networks,& workplace constraints put firstgens at a disadvantage in salary negotiations.Let's strive for a fairer professional world www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2... @mfratzscher.bsky.social

Once upon a time I had an intense phobia of escalators. I write about that fear in the prologue of my memoir and use it as a metaphor for moments where I needed to take a step forward. #SmartGirl

Maybe we can help spread the message in a community of FirstGens that will understand her, through a podcast. Would she be interested to join us at @thefirstgenlounge.bsky.social ? FirstGens interviewing other FirstGens? #firstgen

Ab einem gewissen Zeitpunkt geht es vermehrt nach inoffiziellen Kriterien, sprich "Netzwerke". Das bekommt man als firstgens dann oft erst mit, wenn es schon zu spät ist. Bitter ist es wenn man realisiert, dass das System einem nie wirklich eine Chance geboten hat.

In German academia #firstgens are at a disadvantage, there is Arbeiterkind eV imho (did not know about it when necessary). Germany is notoriously known for disadvantaging #firstgens an all levels. Knowledge about networking etc could at least help for #firstgens. Education is hopefully one step.

Guter Punkt. Wie macht man es dann als #ichBinHanna bei einem Exzellenzcluster von 7 Jahren? Weitere Schwierigkeit für #ichBinReyhan: sie sind in den Netzwerken nicht drin und kriegen es nur mit wenn alles schon unter Dach und Fach ist. Auch typisch für #firstgens.

- invest in human capital,
- choose better-fit paths,
- persist through adversity.
Especially effective for FirstGens.

Excited to share new work with Yaming Cao @zew.de and @kayaez.bsky.social @cu-cardiffbusiness.bsky.social published in Labour Economics! Students with gritty peers in high school are more likely to succeed in the labor market. Gritty peers are pivotal for #FirstGen students. doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

Danke! Gut zu wissen, dass das Buch empfehlenswert ist. Die Studie ist gut, nur steht da glaube ich nicht wie viele #firstgens in der Gesamtbevölkerung sind. Also sodass man quasi das Argument machen könnte, dass weniger in academia vertreten sind. Weißt du da vielleicht was?
