No you're just a rube trying to do easy **** cause you think it's just a matter of gaming the system to get rich. I mean you were going to college but quit. Yeah college is kind of a scam these days depending on your major but it's less of a scam than whatever you're trying to do.

I know for a fact it's a matter of hustling. For all intents and purposes I got my associates but an associates ain't worth ****. I don't wanna go to uni and go 30k in debt.

So why aren't you going for those certs? It's almost like you gave up and are just scrambling like some poor person with no plan.

In a job you've said multiple times you can't physically maintain. What's your plan after you quit the job that you've said you're gonna quit? Get your certs?

I got a factory job and got hooked on pills. Was already in the process of studying for certs. But yeah I forgot about the IT thing after I got into pills heavy and was working **** jobs.

long term, yeah, I don't plan on making it a career.

I can maintain it for long enough to stack up a decent sum though

you make it through all that now you're like damn near 30 and if you're lucky there's still a job for you that you'll hate
I don't even know if I'm still gonna go the IT route but if I wanted to I feel I could get a cert while holding down a job. It doesn't require actual schooling. Also, I can very easily quit this job and get one with less hours if need be. After I left the dog pound it took me less than a week to get this job. That's how temp agencies are.

Either way point is I'm gonna keep trying to make more money or die trying. If I had the same mindset you guys do I might as well just go back to being an addict or better yet just put a gun in my mouth. I'm not afraid of trying something and failing. But if I'm not going to try anything at all then why bother even continuing to punch a clock or keep doing the basic **** to stay alive?
