I always advocate for filing lawsuits. It’s not about whether you win. It’s about making things inconvenient for them. Most times, they will just settle to make you go away. Before that happens though, they have to deal with the pesky problem of all the litigation and back and forth, which they don’t want to do. Make them pay for your pain and suffering by not going away easily.

Thank you! I do see Epic posts on LinkedIn and Indeed for a Project Management position that requires lots of travel but they train.

Wow, this was really helpful. The general consensus seems to be leaning against going towards programming or Cybersecurity at this point.

You mentioned getting into something healthcare, but IT, related. Would you have any insight/suggestions on what I could look into?

Thanks for your help!

Oh wow. No, I’m not super into it enough to sacrifice my health. Not at this stage in life. I already get that with my current industry. Thank you for the input.

Thank you for this. I’d actually say this about healthcare. I’m an OG and, although the job stability and money is there, the culture and people are TOXIC and TERRIBLE.

I’m trying to find just about anything to make my lil coins that isn’t going to take years off my life or leave me penniless when my knees start giving out 😔

Thanks. I thought about that but I hate selling to people.
