I’ve worked in SaaS tech my whole life. Been out of a job for a few months now, and while I do have debts to pay that would be much easier with a paycheck from the tech field, I wouldn’t be fulfilled with an office job.
The thing is, I’m not even sure what Id want to do yet. I’ve known my whole life that I was put here to help others, and there are so many causes out there I could work with that would help. So I think figuring that out is probably the very first step.
I’d also need to make above a certain threshold to be able to really function unless/even if I get a roommate (someone is checking my place out this month, so that might happen in January for me). Seems like figuring out what that number is between bills, rent, food, etc would be a good second step.
Beyond that, anyone else here made drastic career changes (I also don’t give a shit about having a “career”) that worked out for them like this? Would love any advice or tips! Tell me your story!
Thanks all, love you!
As someone who works in a similar tech field, also has big debts to clear, and would rather do something sustainable that helps others, I… dunno. I guess I just relate.
I used to work for a state hospital, and for a governmental medicine research facility, but both of them collaborated and took funding from (and obviously consequently gave profits to) private companies so heavily at every step, any extra value I made (at least in my specific job positions) just went straight to supporting the profit of shareholders and the monopoly of big pharma companies, and the public/sick/those in need wouldn’t feel one ounce of the positive impact…
Give me your answers when you find them.
