I have said it before but it is worth repeating: I find the Fediverse is filled with people with excellent self-taught computer skills, that would be an asset to any company, that are trapped in menial work. This is a major failing of our system.
@Moon yeah, almost all the best people are self-taught. But is it in their best interest to take their obsession and make it their profession?

I have experience with 2 good jobs.
1) book shop. It was relaxing to talk to random people about their hobby. It was mondane, but worth it.
2) my current job. God, I wish to stay as long as it will be possible, because it is fufilling, fun, complex and it pays well. I didn't want much, but sometimes fate gives you a golden egg for nothing...
