I spent so much time learning how to be a good software developer and then trying to build a career. But you know I really think getting into software development was a huge mistake in my life. now I can't even get a job doing it unless I start bullshiting people which I could do very easily but I hate the work anyways. I hate Star Wars. I hate playing with Legos. I hate learning how to do the same thing for the fifth time using a supposedly better JavaScript framework that takes as much time to learn and set up as it saves you but non-coding fuckwits believe knowing the currently trending JavaScript framework makes you an elite coder compared to somebody who knows 1,000 other things including other JavaScript frameworks just not your particular favorite.
Anyways, I've done a little construction and I actually like that. But I think I might like welding more. I've been hesitant to reskill myself for the past I don't know year and a half to two years but welding actually does seem like something I would like to do.
Any advice on getting started? Any idea how much I can expect to actually get paid? Any idea what the job security for a rookie welder might be during a period of hyperinflation? Any other advice?
