Questions: Education & Career

I see there are plenty of openings for low-skilled labor jobs, like fast food or convenience store clerk and crap like that. That is good for those who are in high school or college students, but for career-age people wanting to start families, those are shit jobs. Hate to say it, but it is true.

Meanwhile, the tech sector has taken a huge hit and even seasoned, experienced techies are struggling to land roles. It is becoming a nightmare out there for professionals to land upper-middle-class jobs. Yet, there are plenty of vacancies for near minimum wage jobs.

I feel leftists are killing the middle class and you will eventually either have the common wage workers or the elites, and that is it with hardly anything in between.

I am 30, and I have held over 25 jobs since I started working at age 15.

Looking at age 18 and beyond, I worked mostly in EMS between ages 20-22. I had a misdemeanor conviction during that time stemming from another state, ultimately losing my EMT license because of that.

While serving supervised probation for 3 years, I was on disability for severe mental health issues.

I started attempting to reenter the workforce at age 25 as a software engineer. While I have around 4 years in that industry, I have never held a job down in anything my entire life for a year or more. It is like 10 months here, 6 months there, and 4 months there... you see? What screwed me up was I was caught in a predator sting because I made stupid decisions out of desperation. I was never charged or convicted, but some of my past employers caught word and I lost 2 jobs over that.

Now, I am trying to regain momentum, but I just recently lost another tech job and struggling to land a new one.
