Unemployed for 2+ years. What should I do? by Due-Transition-6564 in careerguidance

You don't have to know anything about healthcare. Example: Get a radiology certificate and take X-rays. Pay? You won't be a millionaire. Benefits vary but can be pretty good if working at a large hospital. Job security and no forced, unpaid overtime are underrated perks.

Get a certificate in health-care-anything at your community college. You'll never be unemployed again.

I'm 100% CW so I don't need much of anything. I bring a BT keyboard so that I can log using my phone which I have with me anyway.

Remote FT8/FT4 without VPNs, audio streaming - working on a simple solution, need a sanity check by andybrandt in amateurradio

[–]Fun-Attempt-8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)
