I’m lucky that I can say yes. That said, I still wouldnt do it for free. What about you, how do you feel about your job/career/field in general?

    I’m a crane operator, if we still got the wages people would get 15 years ago and all the required paperwork it would feel important.

    But now it’s just a: “hey guy, go try it out…see how it goes” and if it goes well you get to stay…for the same wage and no official paperwork to prove you’re capable and as such no opportunity to do the same at a new employer and maybe build up your wage.

    It’s a bit if a run on ramble, but yeah… that’s how I feel, after 30 years of trying to save money, increase my skills and wage, not owning a car to save on costs and doing everything on a bicycle up to 40km a day and still not being able to buy a house…I’m ready to throw in the towel
