Not even just that. My dad didn’t go to college, he joined the military at 18. He walked away from that and landed an engineering job with no degree. Now, he’s in a position that would ask for a masters minimum making nearly 300k a year.
I joined the military and walked away with bad knees and a list of phone numbers to get a job in the trades. Don’t get me wrong, I took it, but damn I’m sure as hell not making anything near what he was at my age.
Depends on a lot of things. I started an apprenticeship machining, and now I want to turn my garage into a machine shop.
I think the important thing is that you make sure you keep some of it for you.
If I did turn my garage into a machine shop, it would be tempting to start taking orders. That’s where my hobby would turn into more work, having to meet orders and timelines.
I’ve found that playing over internet makes it all much easier. A 3 hour session means 3 hours, instead of 3 hours plus motivation to get out of the house and travel times
That’s how I feel right now. I don’t need the Fediverse to replace reddit and Twitter, I want it to be a refuge from the commercialized crap! The people who can’t be bothered to figure out Lemmy or Mastodon can stay right where they are!
Don’t pay at all, use sponsorblock and revanced
