Found this forum and have been browsing for the last few days. As this is a SOLID group of people, I am humbled you'll have me.
So here's a bit bout me.
For the last 2 years, I've been unemployed. I've been training through the unemployment agency to became a web developer. Which I thought was grand! It was one my bucket list for a long time, and -by that point having read TFLM- I was envisioning myself going through the training grinding,
afterwards scoring a job (not necessarily raking in big, but it wouldn't hurt) where I could develop myself further under careful management etc etc.
It was just going to be amazing!
Until it dawned that it wasn't.
After 10 months and well over a 100 applications sent out on specific job offers, next to the spontaneous offering of my services to web development agencies, I had 2 interviews.
Most businesses didn't respond. And if they did, they were happy to let me know that I lacked a degree or experience or both. Gotta love that one, except if it's turning jaded.
So now I am still looking to build my own business. Still desiring to live in nicer climates, especially with my winter blues on its way. Still developing myself, coloring within the "safety" of the mowing field. Just way down of the cash and coming up to 36.
I've gone through books and Udemy courses and facebook groups etc. I feel I've got the basics down, but I don't know if I got what it takes to really satisfy clients yet. Which I will not pick up in this vacuum.
I've been looking around at the options I've got to set up shop cheaply, so I can start taking on clients, even for free or at cost to start. But I do need the business side of things set up so at least the gov't won't penalize me for carving my own way in the blood and the mud and the gore.
I'll make another thread for the business set up I have in mind, as it is rather elaborate. Setting up the first part and building it from there will be a daunting task, something I've never done before. But it's clear as day that I can't keep on "hoping" for a job in the field and I'll just have to fast track to the end in mind. With all the cuts and bruises on the way 😀
In the meantime, I look forward to meeting more of you over here at the forum.
