After 6 years of fighting to get a job, I simply gave up. I stopped searching. I stopped trying to go out to random stores to try and get hired.
By then, I had been expelled from school because my braille display stopped working, I had no resume or cv to speak of, not having worked anywhere in my life. Depression really set in deep, deeper than it ever was before.
I decided to learn things for me and myself alone, and to never ever bother with getting a job again. I'd have no income to speak of either, but I was too tired to care. I wasn't even eligible to the disability income.
So everything I could learn, I learned. Embedded Linux? Check. Sysadmining? Check. The list went on.
