        I am dialing back my posting energy 25%, it’s the best I can do until my caffeine wears off.

              Use the time to get an education, so you can find one that pays you more than minimum wage. There’s a joke about bootstraps somewhere in this ;)

                It’s super cool transitioning so I can get paid less at work (and find it way harder to get hired at jobs I’m actually qualified for) and then told I should educate myself when I complain about it online. Are bootstraps what my landlord uses to raise rent $500/year?

                    I’ve worked in electronics assembly for years, and I have a math undergrad. Maybe I could get a masters and teach? but that seems like a lot of investment for dubious payout.
