This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sorry anon I make about 50% more sitting behind a desk and playing Lego with web services
I literally started learning how to program like months before the whole "AI will take your job on an by the way we don't hire JR devs anymore" so I gave up on it...
I just got to the point where I could consider buying a house months before COVID.
I had thought about joining the military to learn some skills for "free" and graduated highschool exactly when Bush decided Iraq needed to be invaded for ~~oil~~ God knows what reason. Even as a dumb 17 year old I saw right through that and said fuck no.
I completed a trade school 4 months before "the great recession."
If God existed he would be Lucy holding a fucking football and I'm Charlie Brown...
tell me about your next move?
The service industry is suffering pretty badly at the moment, maybe they can become a server and fast forward us to the point where 70% of restaurants and bars close because one worker can't do the jobs of 4 people. Then after they move on to a new industry we can rebuild the service industry properly.
I'm still trying to figure that one out to be honest. I need to leave the state I'm in if I have any hope for a future that isn't living in someone else's garage.
Also I see your username, you should know what I'm aiming for next so you can screw me! Lol :P
Do you have any investment advice we could reverse?
There's a ton of work in green energy and water management.
When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).
Also, the software engineering field isn't going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.
I wish I had your optimism lol thanks for the suggestions!
