I had the misfortune of eavesdropping on a conversation recently where some guy who was working in a bourgeoisie brewing facility recently switched jobs to work at a waste water treatment center and he was advocating for removing fluoride from water with a level of rationale that I have to assume he picked up from co-workers parroting information they heard on the Joe Rogan podcast.

1·4 months agoHey comrade-
Just seeing this now, sorry - life gets fast.
Still willing to talk about anything that might help you orient yourself for employment, etc.
If you can hit me with a quick (op-sec friendly, use DM) bio about yourself and your experience level along with some pointed questions about what you are struggling with now I will respond with advice on how to proceed.
My three step plan for you:
- Get a remote IT support job; lots of those and they should pay enough to make them worth the time.
- If you can’t start at a company in your M.E. field initially as IT support, pivot to one once you’ve got your IT support claws sharpened.
- Either via networking within that company or some resume tomfoolery, pivot to a job in your field from that field-adjacent position.
Optional fourth step:
- Realize that you pine for a life at sea and enlist in the Merchant Marines for a somewhat alternative life where you don’t have to pay rent anywhere for most of the year and you’ll never need to think about a resume again.
Oof. I think we all have a moment like that at some point. Hope you can patch things up and express your frustrations to him in a more measured way.
