30 years old with no career
48 by holycrapguys | 22 comments on Hacker News.
I've been out of high school for almost 12 years. And I've never had a job I really loved. I've worked in about 20 different industries from the oilfield to construction to food service, to debt collection, to transportation, to everything in between. Nothing in tech though. Some were possible "good" jobs, but often they're very dangerous. I was an apprentice in a trade that has the potential to earn a lot 5 years in. It's like I work for a bit and I'll get to a point where I just want to quit and be done with it. Or there are conditions I just don't want to put up with anymore so I just walk. I've never felt content or joy at work, which I think is normal, but I also think some other people enjoy their work. It's also part laziness, I can be slothful without a routine. But I just feel so lost. I almost feel too old to keep constantly moving on to something else. Has anybody else been in this situation and come out the other side with meaningful work that they like? And they're able to support themselves? Just feel lost, I guess. Thank you.
