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.

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?

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?
