My search results keep wanting me to go to Reddit. I’m trying to avoid it, but it keeps calling.

I’m not scrolling there like I did before the “Spez killed the 3rd party app migration”. I miss the level of engagement and ease of finding communities. Lemmy is decent, but the post volume is lacking. If I scroll new now, and again 12 hours later, there’s not much new stuff before I see the stuff from last time.

I didn’t get a degree. I got enough skills to get a job.

Database stuff. I write SQL for a living. Data analyst or report writer would be the generic entry level job titles.

I went back to college at 30. That set me up for a career I actually enjoyed and a wage that was double the dead end job I had at the time.
