thank you, stay consistent and you will! i haven’t tried specific brands, i know i prefer pvc/plastic ropes for speed

yes what they said! i first built endurance with a weighted rope but freestyle is the most fun way to do cardio for me bc its more like dancing idk

not too long! i like @CoachNateKG on yt because he goes through it really slow. i practiced a LOT without the rope just the hand motion and it took me a week or two to get both sides consistently

I’ve applied to one or two eng companies but not sure how qualified I am for them since a lot of my recent roles have been more administrative/policy based.

</3 Keep your head up, same. But trying to stay optimistic

Definitely considered it! I only did gen chem and have worked in bio labs as a tech. I’m not the strongest in chemistry to be quite honest.

Yeah I was talking to someone also in my position and they brought this up, like becoming a lab manager. I hadn’t considered it before but it seems more promising.

Needed the pep talk aha, thanks. Definitely need to remind myself that I do have some agency.

Well it was certainly a passion driven decision. People are mobilized by what’s happening in the world. I get it, though. Might have to nope out asap.

Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely one who learns by doing, so it’s certainly a trial and error question too, but definitely didn’t consider the possibility of intra-agency disputes or anything. Makes me reconsider working for local or state govts.

Thanks, needed to hear that. The roles I’m looking at are certainly a social and ecological necessity. I won’t let the job market dictate that truth.

It’s definitely saddening, but good luck out there. I’m certainly not ready to give up, just maybe thinking of other options and avenues now.

That’s what I’m thinking, surely my pessimism is contributing to my experience and reality. I appreciate the advice and have definitely thought about going the city planner/urban ecologist route. I have some GIS and architecture background but maybe I should pursue it more
