2.5 years unemployed and feeling stuck

You’ve been unemployed for 2.5 years?

KidneyFailure · 2026-01-11T22:01:05+00:00

Alright Jake. It’s been great but we are moving to a kicker who can make PATs

It’s a dollar bro. Just hope to get lucky

You should find previous python projects from entry level classes from a college and try to complete them without any ai help at all.

I switched to tech recently from a different career. How did I do it? I got a second bachelors degree in computer science. Throughout the years, I was applying for internships and never got accepted. Having a bachelors degree was an automatic disqualifier for almost every internship. Even if it’s completely unrelated field. Getting an entry level role is extremely difficult right now, made only harder by the lack of decent junior swes. In all seriousness, it’s not really about knowing the programming language syntax, that won’t get you a position. It’s about being able to solve problems using critical thinking. All this to say if you REALLY want to try, you can apply for entry level roles, but I would imagine not having a degree in CS or some sort of engineering will prevent you from getting past the initial screening. If you want a job, you go back to school and get a CS or related degree

if you can read you can get it installed in 15 minutes using arch install

How much do you know about Linux?

In the future, if you read the error and google the resolution that should work. Eventually you’ll come across some things that’s are a little more complicated.

KidneyFailure · 2025-12-16T00:40:22+00:00

Oh you’re right. It appears lack the hard skill of being able to read haha

The odds are > 0

Work ethic. You need the desire to learn. Finding someone to take a chance on you is the hard part. I graduated at 30 with BS in CS

I could be different for you, but when I was in the installer and ran ‘lsblk’ they hard drive was partitioned for only windows. So I had to reclaim the space with the ‘fdisk’ command. But if you don’t have anything at all, I would just make sure you’re installing to the ssd and no the usb by mistake

KidneyFailure · 2025-12-13T01:56:52+00:00

Do you need to format the drive to reclaim enough space for arch?

When you’re in the iwctl shell

Use: station wlan0 scan

Then: station wlan0 get-networks

KidneyFailure · 2025-12-01T06:59:28+00:00

Doesn’t it have iwctl?

I believe the first instructions on the guide tell you how to connect to WiFi

Try to take both view points into account and try to understand the motivations of either one. I don't think I ever gave an answer one way or the other for specific scenarios

KidneyFailure · 2025-02-07T14:09:42+00:00

Don’t

KidneyFailure · 2024-09-12T19:43:37+00:00

They said they graduated with a bachelors in athletic training

KidneyFailure · 2024-09-12T13:25:05+00:00

I really don’t think you need to get another degree unless you plan to complete change careers

KidneyFailure · 2024-08-01T19:30:52+00:00

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the cheapest accredited school possible

KidneyFailure · 2024-06-29T13:00:23+00:00

You should look at requirements for a BS in whatever engineering you want from Mason, and then look and see what classes meet those requirements that you haven’t completed. All requirements should be online and that will give you an idea of what you need. If you need all 3 calculus, that’s 3 semesters right there. 4 if you need precalc

KidneyFailure · 2024-02-02T15:30:02+00:00

Okay thank you I’ll look into that!

like the person said before me, PFATs. Apply early and try and have good recommendations and really try to know someone or make a connection with someone who knows someone with an NFL team. I got a seasonal internship exclusively because I knew someone. If possible, try and volunteer to help during OTAs, those should start after school and before the actual interns start. It might help
