   Is going into trades a meme or is it legit? Whenever I talk to my mother about the job market, she hounds me about this story of a middle-aged guy making six figures as a plumber.

     @RustyCrab Agree with you an the tech thing. I've spent 2k on certs, and even with high-up connections, I can't even get a basic bitch, 20 dollars an hour helpdesk job. The issue is that there's nothing else that I care for that's hiring either; everything in the soft sciences, chemistry, and physics fields became impenetrable before I was born.

     @Forestofenchantment I don't know but going into tech related anything is probably a dead end right now

     @vic @RustyCrab Yes. I was made aware of a public sector IT job listing through my parent's connections with various city chambers, made mention of this in my job application, and didn't get the job.

     @Forestofenchantment sounds like someone needs some boot straps and upper body strength

     @Forestofenchantment @vic @RustyCrab did the people know you were applying though, and did they have a way to influence this? One of the worst interns I've seen got in and stuck around because her dad had pull in the department she got into

     @wertimer @RustyCrab @vic Yes, she knew I was applying. No, she didn't have any influence in the hiring decision; she worked in a different department.

     He probably bought it from his dad for a symbolic amount but won't do the same for his child

     @Forestofenchantment @wertimer @RustyCrab @vic I've never gotten a job by sending a job application. I've always found friends who vouched for me and they got me in - I don't even have a CV or resume written up anywhere
