I’d rather not turn into a robot; learn a trade and get some physical exercise 💪

Build something tangible

thedonald.win is plenty tangible. Who do you think built it?

But we do understand it's just a meme.

Respect to all who work on the foundations of the country. Whether it is trades, agriculture, forestry, mining...all of you are truly essential.

I have been trying to learn to code for years. I really suck at it. Some people pick it up more easily than others, but for me it’s so hard I actually think I may be retarded.

Don't feel bad, that crap gives me headaches.

Going for a business management degree makes me feel alot happier. Plus a wide variety of jobs to choose from.

I'm a self taught coder trying to learn to compose music, and I feel like a completely hopeless retard at learning to compose music.

If you learn logic and the basics of computer engineering, coding at a productive enough level to get a starter job is easy to learn. If you don't have an exceptional grasp of fundamental logic, coding will be an exercise in frustration.

Coding is basically blue collar now with the lexical flexibility of high level languages and essentially unlimited computing power for many commercial applications.

Doing things like embedded devices, 3D rendering engines, designing Boeing airliners with diversity as a priority over airworthiness, those are the old school engineering jobs that are for serious nerds so even bothered to remember things like differential equations or linear algebra.

I'll be pedantic and say that tangible generally means you can touch and it has a physical existence. I wouldn't consider td.win to be a tangible thing. Unless you are talking about a hard drive. In my experience, there's something special about working with your hands that you can't get from coding.

I'm a working chef for 30 years. I'm good too, committed. But I lost my job with all this fear. I'm looking to maybe find something less pedantic, less tangible... and fortunately I still have my hands if I can't.
Good luck to all of us.

Idk why you're being downvoted. 3 people too good for honest manual labor don't realize you can make bank with the neverending demand. We'll always need proficient mechanics, electricians, plumbers, construction, truckers, farmers. 100% the reason we're not a third world craphole.
