      I literally started learning how to program like months before the whole “AI will take your job on an by the way we don’t hire JR devs anymore” so I gave up on it…

      I just got to the point where I could consider buying a house months before COVID.

      I had thought about joining the military to learn some skills for “free” and graduated highschool exactly when Bush decided Iraq needed to be invaded for oil God knows what reason. Even as a dumb 17 year old I saw right through that and said fuck no.

      I completed a trade school 4 months before “the great recession.”

      If God existed he would be Lucy holding a fucking football and I’m Charlie Brown…

          I’m still trying to figure that one out to be honest. I need to leave the state I’m in if I have any hope for a future that isn’t living in someone else’s garage.

          Also I see your username, you should know what I’m aiming for next so you can screw me! Lol :P

          The service industry is suffering pretty badly at the moment, maybe they can become a server and fast forward us to the point where 70% of restaurants and bars close because one worker can’t do the jobs of 4 people. Then after they move on to a new industry we can rebuild the service industry properly.

        Wherever you feel like living + internet. Most of the IT career fields don’t need to be in a physical office unless things go catastrophically wrong.

            Takes some job hunting to find a full remote job, and a willingness to tell an employer to eff off with RTO mandates or you’re leaving (and follow through).

              Yeah so you don’t have job stability because rto is just one stupid decision away and looking for a other job like the one you had takes a lot of time, which you won’t have if you quit over rto.
