I'm a mech eng with 3 years work experience suffering from chronic depression. I'm currently stuck in a dead end CAD monkey 9to5 that is slowly killing my mind, and the pay is abysmal too so I want to get a new job. Problem is LinkedIn is like one of those fever dreams I kept on having while I had my major depressive events and I just can't seem to find an actual job in it. Job postings are vague, compensation is never declared, and I never get an answer.Am I just retarded? What am I doing wrong?My dream is to get a remote job so I can get the fuck out of the shithole I live in currently and go live in a place where life is worth living and houses are actually affordable, which I already identified with the issue being that there's no work around there hence the remote requirement.
>>34180049Do you make mechanical stuff with your hands as a hobby? I would lean into that cadding the parts and then making them.
>>34182873My point being that having a portfolio helps in getting any sort of creative job.
>>34182873I do make stuff from time to time, but I'm short on energy (due to work and depression) and persistence (due to work and having to live a functional life too), so my projects drag on for years and years despite often being simple stuff. I like repairing stuff too for that matters. In a way I'd love to be one of those youtube makers without the youtube part, but I wouldn't know how to even being finding customers for my stuff, let alone making it sustainable.
