I would literally be the jack of all trades

I'd happily do something completely different every couple of weeks

Not very practical with a 3 month notice period IRL

.... And yeah the whole needing to work to not die thing

Im 51. I've done this my entire life. My resume is vast and strange.

[–] kindernacht@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago

What's this gap in your resume? Oh, that's the two years I was a jeweler. What about this one? That time I managed a retail store. But you're applying for a manufacturing position sir. Yes, that's why I only left the relevant bits on the resume, otherwise it would be 7 pages long and you wouldn't be seeing me now.

I've done this but staying roughly in the same field while changing roles. So it looks like I had a career!

I'm more or less a professional handyman, it can be done

Hey can you come over and install smart switches in my house, figure out what 6 light switches that control nothing are connected to, and find out where the 24 cut ethernet cables in my garage go? I'll pay you in setting up a home server, playing video games with you, or letting you pet my cat.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lol, I have rejiggered a mess of Ethernet cables in my lifetime for sure

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ah 'rejiggered'. The man knows what he's talking about about.

It's the only way to handle something thats gone squeehawed or, Satan forbid, cattywampus.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 4 days ago

That's what I do for my friends. But finding out where wires go sucks.

Don't forget to take your medication today.

So the capitalist masters can keep me contained‽

Pretty standard where I live, for my job
