What if like me you're chronically afraid of dealing with Asbestos in any shape, type, or form?

Then that'd be... Incredible, but I very much doubt that is the case. Remember we live in the era of accreditation trumping merit. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing, just the name of the game.

Here's the thing, what does training in AI mean for the average layperson who's not in IT?

Also, my point about COVID was exactly the fact that when I first heard of it around the end of January '20, and how bad it could potentially be, there were no masks available to buy already, heck, we did not know it was an almost fully airborne virus then.

My two cents as someone who's not in IT and not doing well in life.

Whatever happens, happens. Nothing I do will change anything about this. If it's as disruptive as you've described, I know my Government will do something to prevent massive job losses.

I don't see this as the end of the world, and frankly, my life is shitty enough without Chat-GPT.

Again, what can I do about it? This reminds me of listening to TWIV, a podcast about virology, about COVID before it hit my country and being like "it's going to be bad, but there's nothing I can do about it".

Once it hits, we'll see from there.

It's made renting costs go significantly higher in my country due to digital nomads in certain places so that in-office jobs in cities require now taking crazy commutes like I'm doing or be unable to save money period all while living with 3 strangers.

Well, I'd probably get a degree by the time I'm 30 if I start now because I'd do it part time. Still, get your point

I've been having a mental breakdown about this for weeks, what degree, if a degree, etc... Man, had I known I'd be in this position in life some years ago, when I was 16, I would've... I don't know, I would've just done something else in life...

Thank you nonetheless.

My biggest issue for those is that I don't have a related degree and I'm based out of Spain, which severely limits my options.

I gotta hand it to you, how, how, could you "guess it all" out?

When I was little, I was bullied, I never fitted in. When I got to High School, I became a Chronic Liar, telling everyone how awesome my social life was and imaginary girlfriends, and other lies. I did it because it felt me feel... Accomplished without doing anything. I cut the bullshit at 18, when I went to college, but then I dropped out...

I will look into that test. And I know a lot can be accomplished in a year or 4, I just need to stop bullshitting myself and do it.

Thank you.

Yes, you're right. I would delete this post, but I cannot anymore.

I understand that... I have to figure it out by my own, but my dream was always do something related to tech, and I've failed at. Now, I don't know what to do. I'm blank.

Commute-wise, it's just that I'm much more mentally stable when I live with my parents. At first it was about the money, but now it's about having them around.

Thank you for the book recommendations.

I am seeing a therapist, for years.

I struggle a lot with jealousy, but it's the fact that most of them are already successful and I've failed so much. I talk to them and the only thing I am reminded of is how much their lives are better than mine.

It's even more depressing when one of them calls me at 9pm to hang out and I'm like I don't WFH unlike you, and my commute is horrible, so sorry, no. It's all I think about when I talk with them.
