2/3rds the things you suggest, he’d had 0 access to
Can you specify which ones? I’m genuinely interested in what would be difficult to access here. I think maybe the therapist would cost a lot if you don’t find a cheap or even free option, but life planning and journaling are completely free to do on your own, looking for a better job can be done for free on LinkedIn, studying can be done for free in Youtube, getting a part-time job can be done if you have extra time, checking Upwork I think costs now because of the connects but there are probably other free alternatives for task-based gigs.
Going to another country legally should also not cost as much if you prepare for it, but I guess it could be challenging if you don’t have any chance to save any money at all, but going to LATAM should be relatively affordable to Americans and Canadians.
my dude how rich are you?
I wouldn’t say I’m rich although I live a frugal albeit comfortable lifestyle, I went to Asia (1 month) and Europe (3 months) last year while earning $6 per hour, I just had to save for a few months, I was renting studios in city centers so not even going to hostels and eating crackers. I’d say I spent around $3k on that trip
You can try for customer support, legal assistant, virtual receptionist, virtual assistant, scheduler, appointment setter, or just go into sales if you are good at that, all of those pretty normally don’t require any experience at all.
If you have some good tech skills you can also go for help desk or it technician.
Btw school would be ideal to learn something but it’s not the only way to learn, you can try Udemy or just YouTube to learn a lot of stuff that could help you land a new job.
You can try to check which expenses could be avoided, look for a better job, study to get a better one in your spare time, get a part time job, do some random tasks in Upwork, etc
You could also legally move to another country and work remotely, earning $1k USD/ month should suffice to have a decent lifestyle almost anywhere, although gentrification is becoming an issue in some places.
Coming back to the stress, you could talk to a therapist and see what could help that situation. Maybe some journaling and life planning could help you identify what’s going on with your life and how you can deal with it.
Weirdly enough, I see a very similar top comment on a lot of music videos for, it’s always saying how that song was their mom/daughter/wife/loved one’s favorite and how they played it on their funeral or how they would sing it when they were happy before they passed away due to cancer/incurable disease.
I get that it’s a very likely and possible scenario and that people would like to share similar situations but I find it funny how often I see that type of comment.
They also auto delete comments with links, I was doing a tutorial and saw lots of comments asking for help with some issues so I replied to as many as I could.
I reloaded the video later during the day and saw that only some of my comments were visible, I checked the history and saw only some comments were there. Since I had originally written my comments in Notepad++ I saw only the ones with links were removed. You can bypass it by making the link not look like one but it’s annoying if you wish to help people.
Bullet points and starting each paragraph with @department so that everyone understands which section is related to them.
I started doing this and things were easier, although some department team members or even directors were usually terrible at answering the requested info.
One person from the security team was incredibly annoying as they always reply with really unhelpful one-liners
I think this is a completely wrong take on my reply, not sure why you’d see that giving practical advice on what OP can do about their situation and also how to deal with the stress is telling them to pull themselves by the bootstraps and me saying the system is ok, we all know the system is rigged and pretty much RNG. Most good jobs are gotten through networking by knowing the right people, not merit-based so I’m just trying to give OP some options based on how I’ve dealt with being broke.
I think just complaining about the system won’t achieve much, unless it’s an actual collective action that does elicit meaningful change.
