I make more money in programming than I would ever make in a warehouse. I don't mind working with my hands though. In fact I like it.

It's just that at this point in my life, I'm trying to grab all the ducats I can.

Call me NBA Neo (Never Broke Again) :mjgrin:
How long have you been programming and how did you acquire your skill

I actually got started right here on this site. I was toying with the idea for a long time until I saw this thread

https://www.thecoli.com/threads/jus...e-truth-about-coding-programming-jobs.803095/

That fool OP @Carlton Banks was trying to convince people to NOT go into programming and it backfired, because I realized that the reason he was telling ppl to not do it was because he wanted to keep the opportunities open for himself and didn't want to have to compete with other ppl.

Then after I decided to learn, I reached out to @kevm3 because I saw his posts in the 6 Certs forum, and I asked him for advice and he pointed me in the right direction. The rest is history, breh.

I work in logistics. We have one “asset”. We do heavy maintenance once every three months. I receive maybe 5 shipments a month and send out 5. My material rarely moves. We have maybe 100 lines of parts. My “boss” is in the states 14 hours behind me. 13 people on Site and none can tell me anything.
:ehh:
All that being said, answering emails in bed is tough. I haven’t mastered that laziness yet.
:russ:
My email through the phone skills aren’t up to par neither. I sent a picture of an aquarium one time to 12 people. Didn’t realize it and wasn’t able to recall the email.
:mjcry:
I don’t do s—t and they know it.
:wow:
It’s time for some Japanese curry. Unfortunately, I got a shipment today. Maintenance manager texted me. I told him throw it in the cage and I’ll stop by at some point to process the spare part.
:skip:

I still want to be like you. I’m enrolled at WGU now using that TA money. I want to be in Belize on the beach doing nothing instead.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but i don't get nearly enough work done at home. I'll straight up leave home for a cafe or even an office just to get my ass in gear and get stuff done. Same is true whether my family is home or not.

Right now I'm about 50-50 with work I could do at home and work where I have to be on site, but of the work I could do at home, the majority I do somewhere else.
