A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

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.
