You wanna be original but also cooperate but also show who you actually are but also please the investors but also actually get the job but also not oversell yourself.

i tend to write in my funky way and then replace some of the funky with boring cooperate speak. Usually end up with an acceptable one.

One of the few things I felt like an LLM was good for.

I always felt that editing was far easier than coming up from scratch, even when my final result is completely different from the LLM's output.

That's a mood. I'm torn between finding a job that's related to my degree, doing an apprenticeship in an unrelated field, and driving lorries (only locally, though). They all have their advantages, but also a bunch of drawbacks, and none is "perfect" for me, only endurable. And it's not even the work itself that makes it difficult, it's more of a systemic thing. Having a "purpose" (a job that actually helps your community, for example), feeling appreciated, and being able to live comfortably without having to sell every waking minute of your life are like that triangle of choice where you can only pick two, and quite often, you can only choose one.

That stage of life is pretty difficult work-wise. Up until then most people's lives have been on rails: go to school, do exams, go to university, do exams. Now you've got all this choice, but also the idea that the "wrong" choice will affect your life in a negative way.

My advice is just to try out lots of things. At this age you're not locked into anything, you can spend a few years doing something, decide you don't want to keep doing it, and it's not time wasted. I'm 35 and I've got friends my age who are changing careers now. You'll never know if a career is "for you" until you've tried it.

I just wish I had some sort of idea of what I want to do. All I have is an idea of what I don't want to do. I've had four jobs in different fields, and not one of them was something that I'd like to do in the long run. After six to nine months, I always get sick of them and want to quit, either because the jobs gets boring or because the employer is terrible. I guess I'll just keep trying different things until something sticks.

It's good to hear that people older than me are still changing careers, to hear that it is not an uncommon thing people who fucked up do. Maybe I'll eventually find "my" silly little job that'll let me focus on the things I care about, either as part of my job (unlikely) or in my free time. That'd be nice.

Thank you for your kind words <3
