Only goofs & silliness. (:

What sorta struggles have you been experiencing?
I don't have a job for more than 2 years. I am struggling with feelings of uselessness. I am a|so struggling with loneliness.
Ugh, I’m sorry to hear. The job market sucks right now. When I was unemployed, looking for a job, I spent my time volunteering. Then the food bank that I was volunteering at hired me for a job so it worked out. Not sure if that’s your speed, but it’s also a way to spend the day, feel purposeful, and meet a lot of good people.
If I lower my standards a little bit, I might get a job. But, the issue is that most programming jobs make me miserable. So, here the trade-off is whether I should work a terrible job, make money and be miserable or not work at all and be miserable. A handful of jobs, that I am actually interested in, are not willing to hire me. So, I am left with basically no choice. I would have a lot more opportunities in the West, especially US, compared to India. But, well, you know what went wrong with that.
Not sure how passionate you are about programming but I would still strongly recommend getting involved in community service and looking into the nonprofit field of work. I worked in corporate law for a couple years, hated my life and felt no sense of fulfillment, then switched to nonprofit work and everything changed.
I will definitely look into it. Thank you.
