I’m in the same boat right now. 😭

I’m off tomorrow, but I had to work 5 days in a row to get here, including one overnight shift.

Glad to be a 9-5, Monday-Friday because of reasons like this. 😅

Yeah, inconsistent schedules can sometimes suck. No surprise there being in retail, especially around the holidays.

Yeah, always been something that I’ve hated. I used to work in the restaurant industry as a manager, I don’t think I’d ever go back unless I was forced.

What do you do again now? I work at the arts and crafts store, Michaels. I’ve been in the retail and food industry my whole life. I have no idea what else I could do.

Coding/programming? Database management or IT?

I’ve thought about being a web developer a lot. It would be near impossible to find such a job in my current position, though. I know the bare minimum for web developers these days, AI being as prevalent as it is now would make it tough to sustain a job, and I live in a small-ish town where little to no positions are available.

I tried to run a New Zealand web development business where I would create sites for local business using Wordpress but no matter how much I tried to market myself and my business I literally only had 2 clients. One was a charity and one was a local business. Once I went bankrupt due to some stupid decisions earlier in my life I had to close the business.

I’ve tried doing some freelancing stuff myself. I’ve probably made close to or a little over $1000 since I started doing coding on the web. It’s hard to find clients in such a competitive market, and dealing with money online can be fickle. Most money I make on the web is from selling trading cards on eBay.

Have you looked into applying for those positions for banks or stores or such?
