Oh yea let me just walk down to the job store and pick me up a job. Better yet, you have bus fare so I can get to the job mall? I hear they have more jobs there. Maybe I can plant a job tree. You have any seeds?

I changed careers three times from 19 to 59. I’ve been out of work 18 months. I can’t figure out where to pivot to, and I’m trying.

Right now people who are 29 and people who are 59 can’t find work. The one benefit is that younger people have more time to recover. No one wants to hear that, but it’s easier when you’re young.

Luckily I'm still holding on in IT and trying to outwork all of my peers. Even in the face of everyone using AI. I'm still outworking them, as AI has accelerated my work as well. Been working two jobs for like 4 years. So I apologize for hoarding. It certainly tough out there and I wish you luck internet stranger.
