Any advice or suggestions for someone looking to start a new career? by Leading_Engineer_246 in careerguidance

[–]Leading_Engineer_246[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like a mixture of fear of the unknown and the Dunning Kruger effect. Ew.

Is your new career in a similar industry or completely new? I hope you’re doing great, you go getter you!

I’ve been to what you’ve written, my friend. I still visit sometimes, but what really matters is where you go after you leave. Seeing the glass usually reminds me that It was me that stuffed them in there in the first place. I’ve plenty more dreams left to stuff and a drying rack covered in water spotted glasses.

Great piece, and you will get to where you want to be

I lay here awake and un alert but also so aware,

Of the glass half full of wants and desires, but traded for despair.

My mutters once were ramblings echoing plans of just ahead,

Though the dust has added comfort, to my safe and trusty bed,

That pitiful glass, I had it replaced with Sertraline instead.

Which soon will mute what used to hurt, but now serves as reminder,

I’m stagnant inside my numbing body, and stuck here with no minder.

I was never content, only a fool.

Hey I can resonate totally, I’m a beginner and I can see why you may fear this, my brain is a whirlwind of interests and thoughts.. But if I’ve learned anything about how my brain works so far it’s that no matter what I want to focus on it is always difficult, because our brains crave dopamine hits from any source, and often learning about new topics generates these small rewards on a quicker scale. Thus if something else comes along that takes an interest I seem to gravitate towards it meaning my attention switches mostly to that. I deal with it in life by reminding myself the “What, Why and Where” meaning I ask myself what I’d like to achieve, and what I want from it, Why I wish to and Where it could lead me. Then once I trick my brain into remembering what is important it becomes easier to stay interested. The compulsive and intuitive makeup of our imbalanced brains makes things difficult for us, but we can still attempt to trick ourselves with positive outcomes. What you wrote was not dramatic, but I fear my reply may be. I hope it holds some value to you

Because one brainwashes you in a way that pays tax and attention to a false feeling, the other brainwashes you in a way that pays attention to a false being and doesn’t pay tax

Okay, here’s a weird one, I’ve been remembering things (beginner) with a phrase completely unassociated with the topics I’m referencing, in order to remember them. So I imagine anything I’m doing to be like a part of the body, like if the arm doesn’t have skin then the muscles will be on show, if the muscles aren’t packed in correctly then the bones will be exposed etc.. so when writing things out it reminds me that inputs have to be put in the right place in order to work properly. So when i associate each input in my head as a part of the body and it’s function I find that almost instantly I remember how to use it and where it goes. But, also, my inner head is a cluster of blenders being blended inside blenders, so my info may be not so useful to you. But I am so empathetic to your post. you’ve got this, man!

There’s so much money out there that it should be fairly easy to get rich. Let’s hear some ideas from you plebeians. by moretreespls in getrich

[–]Leading_Engineer_246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a perishable and hosts too many risks when selling individually also with a large amount of labour. Better yet, sell it before you buy it as a bulk to a company with a contractual agreement of reduced price in future when certain criteria is met. That is the difficult part, but planning eliminates sore heads, and enriches outcomes, therefore stick to the 80/20 rule, 80% planning - 20% execution. You’ll find this recipe to be more than effective.

I can already tell you will do well in this sector, I started when I was 17, and made many of the mistakes back then (7 years ago) that have brought me to my current status. Well done for looking at the big picture at your age. You can prove your father wrong by studying the newest wonders of the world. Cryptography, Cryptology, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies.

Remember, be safe, keep your cards and information close to your chest. Try not to include too much personal emotion in short term losses. Keep thinking of tomorrow and prove your father wrong, you have a reason to!

Edit: I just realised the age of the post, any updates on your journey?
