  • I was with you at first, but

    For example, if you’re looking at Tech, being a secretary, security guard, or janitor will teach you a lot about the business even though you aren’t directly involved in the Tech parts. You also start making connections with people who ARE involved in the tech parts, and they’ll be able to help you get there.

    This almost never works and working for a company in a completely unrelated role definitely does not count as “an entry level spot in the industry”. Being a secretary or a janitor at a tech company is not the same as working in the tech industry. Taking those sorts of jobs more often gets you stuck in those or similar roles.














  • This is usually it for me, but recently I’m feeling down because there’s a strong chance that my just-turned-one-year-old puppy will outlive me. By a lot. And then her life would be depressing because my partner would largely leave her home alone, not play with her, not take her anywhere, and not keep up with her medical needs.

    Meanwile, I don’t actually want to live as long as she should and I would feel so guilty leaving her behind, even if I end up having little or no control over it.

    So I alternate between living for my dogs (the other one is getting old, so I don’t worry about this with her so much) and wishing that I had never gotten the puppy. But of course, I got the puppy so I wouldn’t kill myself when the older dog dies. It’s a conundrum.
