Pretty miserable. I am of a generation that very much indoctrinated me that my only value as a human being was paying off a wife then raising a child and putting her through college. Some of us did die, but that was a risk the corporations were willing to take. (No seriously, I’m fifty one years old and have a ton of dead highschool classmates)
All the paying off, raising, and tuition accomplished as of this year, there will be a serious reassessment in a few weeks when I get through the fall shit.
I’m reasonably financially stable, but not to the extent that I could just throw double birds and walk away from everything. I’m also quite pigeon holed in my marketable skills, which are going to suffer through my described environment no matter where I go, recruiter egregious lies notwithstanding.
I don’t have an answer today, but I’m going to find one shortly.
I’m so sorry man. I hope you find some happiness or at least less misery sooner rather than later. I’m about your age, closed my business a little over a year ago (covid stuff) and while I spent most of the “free” time working on renovating our house I’m at a point where I’ll need to start looking for a job. I’m not thrilled with (or perhaps dreading) the idea.
