After years of continuous strain, frustration, anger, and eagerness to form a stable career as a fullstack web application developer, I am having to part ways with the tech industry. It feels like a lot of my efforts are in vain. I have worked on projects for multi-billion dollar companies, including Zoetis, McCain Foods, and Daimler. Contributions ranged from small to moderate to large.
Despite having almost 4 years of employed experience in this line of work, I have been unable to land another role for almost 6 months now. With Xiden's disastrous white-collar job recession, the advancements in AI, and the outsourcing of work, I am switching careers entirely into a trade. I outright REFUSE to return to university for 4 years. I am 30 and don't have time for this shit anymore.
I am going to pursue independent RV technician work instead. It is becoming a high-demand role.
Stop being a coward and deleting my responses to you. I will say this again: I WAS an EMT years ago. I lost my EMT license in 2019 due to a misdemeanor unrelated to work. I do not want to pursue EMS as a career anymore. Those days are over.
