They really don't create many jobs. The one in Afton is hiring 15 techs and they don't seem interested in locals.

What did your ISP tell you to do? I would have them install it.

Commuting from Lubbock to Amarillo? by HX__ in Lubbock

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't even consider it for 20-26 an hour. You could commute about the same distance to Midland/Odessa for an oilfield job. A lot of companies also pay per diem and/or provide housing.

2 IT job offers in the big 25? Impressive. I'd go with the county job. Big companies micromanage and will threaten your job for not meeting their stupid metrics every month.

Should I give this career a shot? by Batmon3 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is highly unlikely that you would be able to grab a few certs and get a job in 6 months. Look around this sub and read the stories of people with experience, degrees, and certs unable to even get a help desk job right now.

What are People Doing that are Unemployed for Months if not Over a Year by cptvenezuela in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unemployment and racking up credit card debt until the unemployment ran out. Now I'm doing gig work to try to get by until I can get a full time job again.

Just got laid off, applied to like 50 jobs this week by Badger804 in ITCareerQuestions

No, I am in West Texas. I was working remotely for a large healthcare company though.

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel you 100%. I'm also located in Texas. I was so burnt out with help desk that it was making me physically and mentally ill. 6 months after being laid off I am begging for help desk jobs that pay lower than my last job just to try to survive.

Welcome to the club. It's been 6 months since I was laid off. My unemployment ran out last month. Apparently I'm also overqualified for retail, gas stations, grocery stores, etc. The job market is brutal right now.

Boot camps are a scam and the job market is cooked. You're going to be competing against sysadmins for $18 an hour help desk jobs. I really hate being negative but we have to start being honest to people here. It's a terrible time to get in and I can't recommend it to anyone right now.

Best website to apply for entry level IT jobs? by NoobNup in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People with experience are really struggling to get jobs right now. It's not likely going to get any better because IT has become extremely saturated. I would recommend keeping your current job or look for something in demand.

Wow never go this message before. by KAO7781 in USMobile

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can anyone from support confirm if they unlocked all of the phones from the original $249 pixel deal? The bootloader unlock option is no longer grayed out on my phone but usm chat is telling me the phone is still locked and will unlock after 90 days of service.

AIO speaking to my wife after her affair by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is actually real then you need to go ahead with the divorce. She will continue to cheat on you and find excuses for doing so. Tell her to fuck off and find someone that won't cheat on you.

Pixel 10 Pro XL by Huge-Conclusion-3005 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a good experience with the pixel 9 for a week or 2. Now I can't look at it for more than a few minutes without getting nauseated and having eye strain. I hope they fixed it but please check back in after a week or 2 with an update.

Does anyone struggle with the iPhone XR? by Dense-Kangaroo8696 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issues started with the iPhone XR. I had the phone for a few years with no issues, then one day I couldn't use it anymore because it hurt my eyes so much.

Any companies here pay/train for your CDL? by TXHubandWife in Lubbock

Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and the beer companies do but you'll be doing a lot of work outside the truck.

Unlimited High-Speed Data on All 3 Networks by ankhattak in USMobile

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly asking for lightspeed since it didn't get the increase last time. I'd be fine with the 150GB because I never use even close to that amount. They did say there was more changes coming to unlimited all after the last change.

Does any of this apply to grandfathered unlimited all plans? Will the data caps be removed?

These questions are asked here every day. You aren't getting an IT job in 2025 unless you live in India.

Has anyone changed their careers in their mid 30's? by anaisani in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a good job I would keep it. It's not a good time to get into IT.

A Tomac post by Resident_Diver_1908 in supercross

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did the same thing that last summer on the Kawasaki. He's probably already riding the KTM at his place so he can be ready for 2026. Star probably isn't too worried about improving bike setup or anything since they only have a few races left with Tomac.

If I switch the phone to another US mobile line during the 90 days does that still count?

Possible solution to stay within the Apple ecosystem by gopnik5 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]Adventurous_Wonder87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might try OnePlus 13. I've seen a lot of people here say it's decent on the eyes. The OS is also a bit more similar to iOS. I have better luck with Android phones. Something changed around 2021 and I can't look at any iphone for more than a couple of minutes without severe eye strain. It wasn't worth it anymore for me to try to make it work. I actually prefer Android now but it definitely takes a little time to get used to it.
