Suggestions for career change, good paying short training no v demand options?

That's good to know, though my gut says your company is the exception to the rule on the degree requirement. Is the pool of skilled workers in tech really so small that you're allowed to actually remove a filter? Doesn't seem likely. But, it sounds like you work at a good company that is able to bring in good people, otherwise the success workflow you've describe would not exist.
 
For entry level Tech, it's not really a huge issue. As long as you have good customer service, all the entry level support stuff you'll learn in training and on the job.

From there, it's up to you to learn, perform and grow. It's easier to teach/train the technical side than teach good customer service and common sense.
 
Totally agree when it comes to any type of entry level job. Hire for personality and train the rest.

I worked in software a long time ago and I still have a lot of friends of a variety of ages in the industry and this seems to be pretty standard, they really do nto care much about a degree until you get high enough in management where it can create an optics problem and even then, "Meh."

They really just care about "WHAT CAN YOU ACTUALLY DO?" The hardest part is getting a foot in the door to get actual experience, because no one wants to teach you shit, they want you to already know how to do shit and be able to prove it.

if it's 100% remote it's ok to have a UX person like the OP be on the same UX team as your family friend?

? I dunno all I know is they draw up icons or certain graphical things that generate clicks or attention drawing things, how the fuck does it matter if it's male or female for this job??

Sounds reasonable. :thumbup

God damn it I asked the good Lord to help me, and here you go leading me astray.

I'm saying that outside of the pr0n industry (and apparently portions of the massage industry), there aren't many jobs where you come across a lot of women.





Hey yooooo.

I don't know if he is into that but if he wants to get into Male Nursing, there is money to be made for the right clients, you can actually do pretty well.

The larger problem is finding enough clients to keep your schedule booked. There are only so many men out there with disposable income that will pay a fair wage to have another man suck their titty and call them daddy, but it certainly is an opportunity that does not require a lot of training if you have the mouth for it and are a skilled snuggler.

I'm not hating, it's just vague maybe? When I lookup AWS entry level jobs, I find TDP, CDP, ASADP, and SDP, all of which require a bachelor's degree.

Wait, what sites are you searching again to get all those results for DP? Asking for a friend.

Most of the time it doesn't matter if it's male or female for the job. The OP needed to add gender to the job requirement though, that's why it matters

contrary to the lie of gender ideological propaganda many many women do act in abusive manipulative, lying manipulative, hypocritical ways, "empowered" by female-biased media, hr policies, feminist propaganda, etc.

Become a wastewater operator. Lots of places will hire trainees with no experience. It's a career that you can take anywhere, and if you're licensed in the state of California then you can pretty much take your certification to anywhere in the country and get a job.

Check out Sacramento State for some distance learning courses that will give you a leg up on interviews. Lots of places to volunteer to get hours so that you can preemptively obtain an operator one certificate from the state.

At least here at East Bay mud, after the training program is completed an operator will be easily over 100K.

You have to do math. It's easy math, not mid-level math like calculus or something.

The downside (upside?) is you'll get poop on you on a regular basis. We don't have a lot of women as operators, but the ones that we do have are pretty cool. Spoiler though, they're just regular people and not evil or manipulative. At least not more so than any of the guys that work there.

Need to be vaccinated for covid though, but that's pretty much any professional job anywhere. There's also a whole list of other injections you need to have before getting the job, and covid is just another one recently added to the requirements.

Your part-time requirement though? That has to be a joke, right? No serious place of employment is going to give you a second thought if you're not willing to work full time.

^ Serious question. Do the workplace smells stay with you in any way, noticeable to other or only to yourself, once you leave the plant?

Not usually, no. If you take a splatter to the face usually you'll shower before you go home.

The only time that something stuck with me for a bit was when I got douched with the mix of fats oils grease and blood. Somehow that shit got in my pores and stuck with me for a couple days.

But the frequency of that happening is pretty low.

It totally is. Been there about 15 years now and it's the best decision I ever made.
 
OP hasn't been back. He must not like the answers.
 
what it sometimes feels like to work in tech (I'm not on the coding end of things though, I do infrastructure)
