RE: Your job - Guardian - December 17th, 2019
Just started a new job last week. Left a really secure job, for a much less secure job for a lot more money. Hard to find the right balance.

@ guardian: that sounds about right, honestly in this economy it's hard to find a job that pays enough for true independence... nobody wants to raise wages enough to match the rising cost of living.
RE: Your job - Guardian - December 18th, 2019
Yeah, had to take that risk though. If it works out, in the long run it can be a very great decision. It can also burn me.
Part of the game we play.

I'm a writer and editor for a small literary magazine that doesn't get enough revenue to pay me. I also do it freelance, but... I suck at getting customers for myself...
That said, I'm still a writer and editor, whether I'm earning from it often or not. And I love it- most of the time!

I work as a programmer for a local software company. It's my first 'real' job (and so far my only one), and I've been working there for six years now.
I like the working environment, although, since I'm having to work from home, that's kind of on hold now!

I learned automotive mechanic and electrician, after my apprenticeship I worked as a mechanic for 3 years, 1 year later I passed the master craftsman exam, at the age of 23 I ended up with the professional fire brigade by accident, 4 years training as a fire extinguisher, plus lifting crane test 70 tons, then a test year after year, for example large tank fire engines, turntable ladder up to 50 meters, all-terrain fire engines, 4-axle app tow vehicle, etc. and now after 30 years I am the highest ranked fire chief.

Wow, congratulations!
Sounds like you've worked very hard to get to where you are now

I should also be a little bit autistic, not as strong as my son, my head always demands input, and is only calm when everything is done and works
