@lucy you learn to make cool things out of wood. Good for bushcraft and homesteading. Become a master craftsman and sell your goods at a premium supporting by a YouTube channel. People love watching stuff on there. You could sell stuff on Etsy.

@lucy yes, quite a lot actually. They’re all over YouTube for a start, and I know of some people from my high school that got into carpentry in such a way

@arcana@fedi.layer02.net @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz that is more about social media marketing than carpentry except for a handful of people who lucked into it

@lucy @arcana That is if you can find one after the IT admin department downsizing many corps decided to do during and after coof (at work I and 2 other coworkers manage systems for ~200+ employees). Personally I've found maybe 4 sysadmin job offers in 3 months that didn't scream "we are doomed and need someone" or payed acceptable salary.
If this makes you feel any better, a friend in another company worked with a literal server maid tranny for months. You can get in, even with a lot of brainworms.

@lucy because you say you’re bad at things, why would anybody want to hire somebody who claims to be bad at everything?

@lucy yes but you’re clearly unconfident. Confidence gets you jobs.
I would say you’re a better programmer than me and yet I’ve been able to get programming jobs. It’s about the confidence and showcasing your abilities and personality.

@lucy @arcana Then try to work on that. If an interviewer asks you something you don't know, don't leave them at "I don't know" and at least try to give them an idea how you would solve/figure out X and how you would learn Y. And so on.
Also unironically do you have a public git* profile that you can point someone to with toy projects or contributions. For some reason, some companies care about that. Or so I've heard.
