More making the point that the barrier to entry is low considering Pilot makes a $3 disposable fountain pen. I suppose that would have been a better example.
You can certainly go deep with ink and pens and whatnot, but you can buy a Lamy for cheap on Amazon and just stick with cartridges and still get a far superior result.
If anyone feel like their writing is sloppy and avoid writing because of it, try a fountain pen.
See how this (aka life) works?
But based on the experience here, it seems like people found work out of college, were able to focus in field because their expenses were paid for by a company and were able to create a family. None of this is an option when I spend 12 hours + a day trying to find money doing various work I genuinely don't care about.
I have been a professional job seeker for 11 years since I have left college. I guess I would call myself a front-end developer though I have never had a front-end job. I am able to find work here and there as a freelancer and I have worked one tech job in QA in my 20s. I am now in my 30s. I make the majority of my money flipping stuff and working in service industry jobs and occasionally find work as a designer, developer, photographer, videographer, video editor, and much more....I know how to do a lot of things, but finding a job isn't one of them.
This has developed a lack of trust in humanity for me and a great mental illness. I have and probably won't ever trust an individual again when one grows up trying their hardest to develop skills when skills don't matter.
It certainly does sound exhausting though.
And I lift daily as well and it is engaging than running.
Same for running. Daily runner. It is the best thing I have ever done. But it sucks and never gets easier.
Is there anything to get rid of this feeling of suck?
LSD and mushrooms are also similar in my experience but produces variable results
