It's more like 10 fucking minutes. Which would prove you are stupider than your claims. If it takes you 10 minutes to discover that a job doesn't fit you, it means you could have discovered that before being hired.

Three months was my limit for any job I didn't enjoy. One evening at the Cafe Lena I overheard two couple that looked like 'young professionals' at the adjacent table talking between acts. The topic: how much our jobs suck. All four of them hated whatever they were doing. The Lena was sort of a proto-hippie coffee house and I wanted to yell 'Tune In! Turn On! Drop Out!'

If you have never been able to learn anything useful, the job offer is limited. When you have two opportunities will good salaries, it's easy to pick the most enjoyable one even if it means a little bit less money. But if anybody can take the jobs you can choose, then the probability that the offers are at the same time poorly remunerated and uninteresting is high. OK, I know, the rightists will say that if you have never learned anything useful, it's because you are an unmotivated failure. And the leftists will say that it's all because of the system. But, it's the reason I never talk politic here, it's because the reality is in the middle. What you do in your life is part of luck and part of what you did by yourself in the past. So telling others what they should do when you know nothing about them is a bad thing to do. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

I enjoyed driving a truck for several years, seeing the transportation industry from the inside. However I knew that when I had my fill there would be something else. Most drivers don't have that luxury.

Yeah, I supported my daughter's choice to be an artist. I would have preferred something like health care, where a good living is virtually guaranteed. But she was passionate about art, so I paid for her four years at a fancy art college. Fortunately, she got a job in her field. The pay is only okay, but she's doing what she loves. With my support, she doesn't have any money worries, anyway.

You will get to work on something that you enjoy as well as provide the world with something useful. Be sure to publish on GitLab or equivalents. IOW stay off GitHub. You may even attract other contributors. I have a couple of software projects (all C of course) that are waiting in the wings. But the code has to be more than good. It has to be perfect.

Everybody doesn't have your luck of being feed in an asylum with nothing to do. Outside of an asylum, one have to get some money to be able to eat. So, if the mandatory job can be fun, it's good. > I have a couple of software projects (all C of course) that are > waiting in the wings. I don't believe that. Your only ability is to copy past code without understanding it. It's useless. It doesn't need a git repo. > But the code has to be more than good. It has to be perfect. You see? It's incompatible with others of your claims. When someone show you an issue in your code, you answer you are a programmer, not a coder. So, your code is far from perfect and can't be put on gitlab by your own standards. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

Another ignorant Feeb post, borne of your failure to secure a programming job, and your jealousy of those who succeed and make a good living at it. Quit babbling your ignorance.

Even if I had learned to program more than I did, I was always worried that there would be faster and better programmers out there. As a result, I was worried that if I had gone into that field, I would never have been able to hold down a job for long.

I was concerned about the stability of the programming job. A project gets axed, or completed, and the programmers might be let-go. In my job, I'm well embedded into the system, helping to explain my 30+ year tenure. Now, as the "OG", I know a lot of stuff that no one else does.

I've lasted over 25 years at my current job because I got old and slow. In my prime a project coming to completion meant it was time to look for a new job with an even more challenging project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine Kidder asked one of the people what they got from working insane hours. The answer was the opportunity to work on the next insane project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y70yVMUy3A0 "So put me on a highway And show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time" It was an Eagle's song but what ran through my mind was Waylon and Willie.

A project > gets axed, or completed, and the programmers might be let-go. Back in the 80s/90s; AT&T some others were quite notorious about treating their programmer staff as extremely fungible - the rule of thumb was 5 years on a big project, then an 75% purge. Pay was good but short-lived, as the odds of making it through two cycles were pretty low, as Quality of Life suffers because they expected overtime too. > In my job, I'm well embedded into the system, helping to explain > my 30+ year tenure.

One just needs to be careful to not push them out of their comfort zone. Had one such oldtimer retire this past summer & move to Texas .. he's already having second thoughts on the whole "moving south for better weather" - and this week's ice/snow probably has them wondering if they escaped any of that too. -hh

My career started in the machine tool industry, which at the time was mostly based on relay logic. As microcontrollers entered the mix, drawing ladder diagrams and wiring up ice cube relays was replaced by programming. Logic is logic. With my first exposure to programming being FORTRAN IV and punch cards I wasn't interested in programming. When it got to the point where I could wire-wrap a board on the kitchen table and program it the field became interesting.
