thank you for this

I need to look into the industry more

I am finding it hard to maintain my drive.

The good thing for you i guess. The internet is full of courses for that. udemy often offers courses for 11€ that are giving you 28h video lessons for a whole language as a bootcamp. Python bootcamp there is really good

So if you can maintain your determination to coding, you can actually reach a decent level of programming within a year

I can show you what companies are looking for when hiring so you could setup a portfolio. I learn too much about social engineering in my traineeship 😄

hahahaha

I'll take that up

Troll guy was so crazy unfortunately

@Denno Don't you benefit from diversity bullshit?

no

unless its on shore teaching in Australia

My market is predominantly overseas. Plus I am still socialised and treated as male 60% of the time. Most people use my male name

Far enough.

When I teach children I use my male gender

Yeah.

Rightio...

that's because they are Chinese clients

culturally they don't accept trans or gay

I got a new job. Application, phone call, interview, and hired all in the same day.

I've seen a lot of trans Chinese through like random gifs and stuff online.

I guess it's getting there, so it might benefit you later on.

possibly

Excellent work though with the new job

You're kind of stuck in the West.

Yeah. My wages are kind of sucky, though. A fraction of what I'm used to, but my current company is dissolving, so... What can you do, aye?!

NDT is getting more popular. You could look into that. A lot of NDT techs charge AUD 150 per hour.

Sup everyone?

Sup.

Any good books you guys recommend? Right now I'm reading Body Language by Navarro and I'm waiting for Robert Greene's new book called Human Nature

The Laws of Human Nature

I'm excited for it

Um Miyaomoto Musashi, The Book of 5 Rings

I actually have that book

Or Letters from a Stoic by Marcus Aurelius
