    • [X] She applied for, and got into, Vassar College, the first person in her family to get post-secondary education (4 Years, 2 Wealth. Learn a language, unlocks new work)

    Should learn German.

    Huh. I do wonder whether there's a possibility to grow up multilingual and get a free language, but there's a chance of something bad happening due to the xenophobia around immigrant families?

    (Just as a rough idea, I'm not actually asking for this to be an option)

    There is, actually! But it would affect your Social Class roll and we did that first. So instead we're having our MC be distant enough to have not learned: I think her father was a child when he arrived in the US, with parents fleeing the country after the Franco-Prussian.

    That makes perfect sense, thank you. 👍

    EDIT:

    [X] She applied for, and got into, Vassar College, the first person in her family to get post-secondary education (4 Years, 2 Wealth. Learn a language, unlocks new work)

    I'm really interested to see what "new work" means.

    Despite not having particularly stellar grades, Maria had a smarter school friend who applied for a women's college, which put the idea in her head, and she did the same. By some miracle, she got in, unsure what to study at first.

    ---
    ​
    What did she study? No mechanical effects, this is lore only.​
    [ ] Classics​
    [ ] History​
    [ ] Mathematics​
    [ ] Sciences​
    [ ] Art​
    ​
    What language did she pick up there?​
    [ ] Write In​
    ​
    After graduating, where did she go next? She is currently 21 years old and has no remaining Wealth.​
    [ ] Some time spent on self-education. (1 Year, 2 Wealth. Chance of XP gain based on education)​
    [ ] Directly into a dirty, physical job (2 Years, gain +1 Wealth, take 1 Physical Fatigue)​
    [ ] Directly into a clerical job. (2 Years, gain +2 Wealth, take 1 Mental Fatigue)​
    [ ] She found work with her degree (2 Years. +3 Wealth, +1 Mental Fatigue)​
    [ ] Fell into a life of crime (1 Years. Chance of wealth or jail time)​
    [ ] She got a loan and began a business of her own. (2 Years, 2 Wealth. Chance of 1 to 5 Wealth)​
    [ ] She played tennis at a surprisingly high level. (2 Years, 1 Wealth. Gain a move for better physical conditioning, take 1 Physical Fatigue)​
    [ ] She travelled with friends across the country. (2 Years, 2 Wealth. Gain 2 XP and learn another language)​
    [ ] She got involved in local politics and fundraising, meeting many famous people. (1 Year, 1 Wealth. Gains a reroll that can be used during Life Path stuff)​
    [ ] She met a nice man and got married (1 Year, 1 Wealth. Maria will have somebody back home to write to.)​
    [ ] She got pregnant out of wedlock. Oops. (2 Years, 2 Wealth. Having a dependant gives your character somebody to fight for, which helps with Fatigue)​
    [ ] She served as a nurse in San Franscisco. (2 Years, +1 Military XP, +1 Physical and Mental Fatigue)​
    [ ] She served as a nurse in Manila (2 Years, +1 XP, +1 MXP)​
    [ ] She served as a private secretary to an Army colonel (3 Years, chance of XP based on education)​
    [ ] Not long after graduating, she left for Europe and the ongoing war. (End Life Path and move on to Training)​

    Taking 3 Wealth from the advanced degree will secure you private flight training, so its more likely you'll learn all your flight skills and also not die. However, added years at this point will slightly lower your Fatigue ceilings.​
    ​
    Also, already made my first balance adjustment, work is now less time-consuming!​

    [X] Classics

    What language did she pick up there?
    [X] Latin

    It'll help us learn a lot of different, important languages and also I like the idea of a classicist.

    I want her to break the mold a bit, so sciences it is! And French because I assume she would try to learn her family's language.

    Technically this is precognition but it will make everything so, so much easier.

    I actually like Marie so far and want to see her invalided out for LMF instead of dead.
