What or Who do you find yourself envying specifically?
Im very poor atm but, honestly, i dont envy others. Im pretty happy with what I’ve been able to learn or pickup and I feel the meaning of that famous saying where Kings dread tomorrow and the Poor rejoice in their future relief. I enjoy the insane curiosity I developed and get to practice everyday with Lemmy stuff…
Thats a huge credential tho. If any other Lemmings know of something, appreciate if you could reach out or share what you know to facillitate this kinda thing
Never discount luck. The only advice I’m qualified to give is to put yourself out there and be ok with “faking it till you make it.” I worked Retail back in the early 00’s. We had a group of regulars that found out I liked PC gaming and offered me a call center job that was double my pay. Cool, I could answer a phone for a tech company.
The luck part was when the dot(com) bubble burst and the industry was wiped clean. I don’t know how but I survived and started filling expensive positions with my cheap labor (at first). I had to fake it at every step, though later I would realize they were willing to train me (OJT) as opposed to hiring an expensive, more qualified tech. Rinse and repeat at each level.
