what's the career path for someone who went into tech because it was a thing they've always enjoyed and now it paid the bills too - but now they don't enjoy it anymore?

@Szescstopni Not advice, just a reminder that "DSPD" is a thing. People genuinely have different preferred diurnal activity maximums.

@q3k if you also offer some accomodations you are sure to be visited mostly by former colleagues

[kasperd@westergaard.social]

The follow up question is whether it is tech in general or just the management decisions of certain companies.

[szescstopni@circumstances.run]

@riley That's right. But if you run a pub you forget there's such a thing as sleep preferences @q3k

@elly @jn @domi @q3k ooh, i've always wanted to learn how to make clothes

[philpem@digipres.club]

@q3k I've been told pig farming is surprisingly rewarding

[earthshine@masto.hackers.town]

@q3k lmk if you find out I would like to know too.

[domi@donotsta.re]

@jn@boopsnoot.de @q3k@hackerspace.pl do you think they'd hire me without knowing the language? maybe there's still hope for me in this country

[jn@boopsnoot.de]

@robot @elly @domi @q3k it's a good community skill, like cooking! i should start too, i have a bunch of stuff that's slowly but surely falling apart

@q3k my friend (not from it) has been considering using her savings to invest in an electrolysis machine and course/certificate to provide affordable care for trans ppl, we need more of that rather than ai slop

[jn@boopsnoot.de]

@domi @q3k job listing for this particular shop said knowledge of german or farsi is required, but i don't know how much that is in the day-to-day

[agturcz@circumstances.run]

@q3k The customer I am doing the project for once mistakenly sent me an invitation for advanced forklift training. I've answered them, that I do not have basic training yet, but I'd be glad to get it.

To this day I regret they had not followed with an invitation for the basic training.

@q3k does that bar need a cocktail mixer? Asking for a friend

[alexthesortofok@hachyderm.io]

@q3k locally I can report that "library assistant" seems to spark great joy.

[flesh@transfem.social]

@q3k@social.hackerspace.pl Porn

[flesh@transfem.social]

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @q3k@social.hackerspace.pl Whom?

[flesh@transfem.social]

@ireneista@adhd.irenes.space @q3k@social.hackerspace.pl Issue is that a need and a profitable venture aren't quite aligned.

[ireneista@adhd.irenes.space]

@flesh @q3k correct, for sure, of course

[astraluma@tacobelllabs.net]

@q3k I keep thinking carpenter, but there's even less money in that

[izzy@social.shadowkat.net]

@yavien @q3k my laser tech said it's only 12-18 months of courses to get qualified as a laser tech; had me tempted... maybe not as permanent as electrolysis but much cheaper for non-essential areas
