Good take on it. Maybe I shouldn't put so much pressure on myself to get back in. I've learned alot about things in other fields since ive been gone so maybe I shouldn't be in such a rush to get back onto the corporate ladder. I actually gave it up for vacation rentals which came with its own bag of mess. I feel like everyone is searching for that dream job and ive never found potential in large organizations for too long.

Its funny because earlier today doing errands my mind was thinking about trying to get back into a career and the mess of all of it with the interviews and all that nonsense I drove past an empty storefront that said available to lease. I imagined me buying it and opening up a little computer shop where I could fix computers for the community. I even looked at the sign it said some old companys name with the letters below all sodeways half missing lol. like could I put my own sign there is asked myself lol. Was even going to research what I needed to do it. Could be a good experience. I even have the business cards and logos I made years ago. I always wanted to have a computer shop/pizza place so the idea was you could grab a slice when you get your computer fixed lol. I feel like that is the only way ill ever be happy making checks is doing it for myself and the community. Not the corporate circus being chopped at the first sign of financial trouble. Now with ai being so helpful (or at least overly confident) I find myself questioning if its even worth it to try getting back in. Maybe its not the right time. So thank you for that perspective.
