It’s the same thing here. I see it all the time. Unfortunately, I also see a lot of people turn to Payday loans and pay 400% APR and are never able to get out of debt. 😕

I ended up having to go bankrupt a number of years ago because I got sucked into the telco offers such as free phones etc. I wish I never did but sometimes those offers are hard to dismiss 🙁

I think it just comes down to what you personally want in your work.

100% agree. I would go back to WFH if I had the option though. 😛

Well if it’s a reputed company and has a history with the BBB, I would hope they’re not. You genuinely don’t and it just comes down to what you do and don’t feel comfortable about.

I’m often uncomfortable finding a new job, in general, which is probably why I’ve been stuck in the same fields for so long. If I am ever in serious need of a new job, I may have to do some searching for something more outside of the box that I can relate to.

Try one of those temp agencies and see if they can slot you in one of those jobs so you know if it fits you.

I’d agree with that. I had to get out of my comfort zone as I used to work restaurant industry, moved to finance, stayed in finance so that I could feel some actual “progression”. I made good money as a manager in the food industry, but everything was so taxing and I felt like I never got to see my wife. 🙁

It was a huge step out of my comfort zone with self-publishing my novel.

I didn’t know that you published a novel? What kind?

It’s a fantasy young adult novel.

Awesome! I’ve tried writing some things before, mostly a light novel related that whenever I was inspired by a few manga/manhwa that I was reading. Never really got past a couple of chapters and dropped it completely because I realized that it just wasn’t for me. 😛

I wanted to try to get into a writing a webtoon or comic.

Artwork is difficult, I’m not much of a drawer either.😪

I tried convincing my wife that I wanted a pen/pad for my computer but that never really came to fruition, although I do think that it would be super enjoyable.

You should try sketching and looking into the free art tools that Cedric.
