you can learn coding, although its not everyone's cup of tea. And its pretty easy to test if people actually learned it
Iām not joking.
anywhere there is a person, and not a bureacracy.
how do you demonstrate you can draw?
I know a guy who makes a living doing disturbing mspaint art.
I have a coder friend, and he says it's very very difficult to find work.
Itis way artsy folks have portfolios, e.g models, artists, programmers
It's such an oversaturated field.
I feel like your not being honest about this place you are describing. Or it is really horrible and you should just leave hitchhiking if you have to.
what coding does he do?
Grant.
I'm really annoyed with you.
Don't say that to me when I'm being genuine.
I mean, Grant is right though
I am being honest.
@Scribblehatch you're in a frame of mind right now that others in this room aren't necessarily sharing. Sure you can be frustrated about it but I'd just ignore responses that aren't addressing you on the same level.
Him being right means I'm lying.
Which I'm not.
Hitchhiking does sound like a better option if this town is so bad
So he's wrong.
that's because programming was sent to india like 10 years ago
web based? yes. good luck with that. c++? got a good shot of finding work. some of the older languages? you will be snatched up in a heartbeat
Well I won't be hitchhiking, even if faced with death. So that's out.
you gotta specialize in something and be good at something else, in IT.
Why not?
Now that we know that's out of the conversation, let's continue the conversation.
Oh I won't supply a reason I won't hitchhike.
Just know that death will come first.
tell him to learn COBOL. those dudes are making bank right now
Is that conviction enough? Death?
If it isn't, I don't know what to tell you.
COBOL is in need
Not really
because like no one knows it anymore
Death isn't enough conviction. Interesting.
I won't go into debt, and I won't hitchhike. Starting from there, let's troubleshoot the problem.
If you can't start from there, we're not speaking.
I mean, it's more of a non sequitur then a reason really
I will block you if you continue to try to speak to me about debt or hitchhiking.
I'm not trying to be dick, I'm trying to steer the conversation forward.
