    @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

        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? is it still to open a bar to serve a clientele of other burned out tech workers?

            @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 considering how much of a shithead the guy who famously opened a bar to do this is today, i'm not sure that's an improvement for anybody other than you

                      @q3k depends on how much savings you have, but we'd assume the world is profoundly in need of third spaces, so...

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

                            @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
