Can you share recommended resources to get started? Is it possible to get into without a degree?

How do I get started in your field of work?

How long have you been in the field? Data Science and Machine Learning?

They contact me.

I can’t seem to break $130 hr. I have about 7 years of experience.

It’s all organic. Salesforce is hot right now. Mostly LinkedIn.

When should I have a monthly retainer? How do I sell it to my client?

How do I get into your work?

What church?

I have 3 kids with one due at the end of the year. All are from the same woman and we’ve known each other since being teenagers. We are planning to have 5-7 total. They really add a richness to life. It’s fun to see people stare when we go out.

This is great advice, thank you! I’ve noticed my team act in the way you’ve described involving certain functionality that I’ve figured out and diagramed.

Why? Women very rarely date down at the economic level. Last time I checked, mate options are important for males.

It’s difficult to get male teachers cause pay is terrible. It’s more difficult as a man to find the woman you desire if you make low pay.

I’m in the same spot as you, more or less. What has allowed me to settle down is picking all the milestones I want to accomplish before I die. House remodel, travel, health/fitness, personal hobbies. It’s then fun to talk about these with my, finding out what her milestones are, and grinding together to achieve them.

You are being absolute in what people are capable of when they are burned out, which I think is foolish because the feeling and level of burnout is subjective.

Overcoming burnout is looking at your situation from the outside in. What you described is clearly a downward spiral. Logically, wouldn’t it be better to write some words for a plan than no words? If you can procrastinate for 25 minutes while you are burned out, you can spend 25 minutes writing a plan, even if it’s one word a minute or one word every 5 minutes.

The key is to break down what you need to accomplish and how you will accomplish it in the smallest incremental steps possible. Once you have that list, it becomes less overwhelming to make progress. Don’t focus on completion, focus on making tiny incremental progress.

Take a nap. Once you wake, commit to a time to start work and follow through. Have a plan of what you want to accomplish every 25 minutes. Take a 5 minute breaks after each 25 minute work session. Trying to find an accountability partner to report on what you what you got done after each 25 minute session.

Being married with kids helps me. To be able to live for a new family unit and striving to give them a better life than I had, is sustaining.

The danger is already there. Banning a former US president is dangerous.

Work remote in rural Southern California. You’ll be near Vegas, Palm Springs, Big Bear, and you can visit the beach cities and LA whenever you like.

Learn Salesforce

Why not? Cultures throughout history, part of becoming an adult was to start a family. Take that away, what does it mean to be an adult in the modern age?

Food you eat makes you think about existential crisis?

Yes, but don’t expect perfection. That’s dangerous. My generally rule is, however many hours I’m putting into the pursuits of life, my spouse should be equally putting in those hours.

You and your spouse are a team. If your both smart and want the same things, you both should be able to figure out a routine that you both can tolerate that also achieves what each of you want. It’s both give and take.

I’m currently going through one. Lost my religious beliefs, I have no friends, and I never have to leave my house cause I work remotely.

What keeps me going is my marriage and children. I have very problematic parents (homelessness, drug abuse, divorce). I also have multiple siblings. I have zero support or socializing from any of them.

Having people that rely on me for their well-being and knowing I can provide them a better life than I had is sustaining in the tough moments of dealing with an existential crisis.

It also helps that I strive for mastery of my craft. I’m a software architect and there is lots to learn. Even if it’s true that nothing matters, you have one life. Make it as best as you can. Very few humans can claim mastery in a skill.

What games you play?

I’m 34, love gaming, and have been married for 12 years with 3 kids. “Healthy” amount of play is playing as much as you want as long as your on track in accomplishing your short and long term goals.

In addition, you need to make sure your wife’s expectations are being met daily. My wife lets me spend my time however I want as long as I’m clearly communicating my efforts in meeting her expectations, both in the short and long term.

The amount of muscle mass you obtained, I’m sure, help you loose weight. You essentially did a “cut”.

I'm a premium whore.

I work with gigabytes of data daily at my job. I want those upload speeds to increase.

Plus, I want to start getting into gaming again and none of my friends will play with me with that internet speed LOL

Ordered it. I work from home in a rural area that gets only 40 mbps. No brainer.
