Time to rant about my career life:
>graduate with bachelors right as corona hits
>get internship (very) recently
>all I do is watch udemy videos
>sometimes get assigned a project to do but they're small day long projects
>current project is to install jira and jenkins on a vm
To say that I'm disappointed is a massive understatement.
The """work""" I do is easy enough and it's a paycheck but I'd be lying if I said I don't feel like I'm being wasted here; I can only I get something that I can't do while literally sleeping.
@shockrah what would you really like to do if ya didn't have to do what someone (entity) else thinks you should do to get the money (energy) perceived needed to live?
@uisce embedded programming for sure. i always loved the coursework in university where we did anything close to the hardware, and i've done some of my own "embedded" projects. maybe i should revive some of those on of these days
aside: to be honest I have no idea how I even got into this role since I have literally 0 projects/work/experience in devops apart from writing a few docker/ci scripts
@shockrah I have no idea what that is, sounds interesting, but yeah, I have found that trying to figure out what I actually want to be doing and exploring ways of doing it, trying not to worry about the money (energy to live) has worked out pretty well, i would really really struggle now to do anything for money that I would not do for free anyway...
ever tried the artist way course?
ever heard of charles eisenstein?
@shockrah Stick with it for a bit and then move on. It’s the first job during a time when a lot of jobs have dried up. Be patient 👍🏻
