You're killing this, dude. This one really resonated with me because I know how it feels to be moving somewhere and not knowing how you're going to make those ends meet. When I left the navy, that was my entire reality upon coming back home to Nyc. And man did it suck riding those couches for 6 months while I did a pivot to get into digital ad ops.
Thing is, I can feel another pivot coming, replete with a relocation (New Hampshire or Colorado) and everything, and the tough part has been figuring out what's next, professionally.
I'm glad you found your way. Canada is beautiful, and now you'll be able to move and experience it all without the nagging worry of finances.

"be moving somewhere and not knowing how you're going to make those ends meet"
this is a fear I've been living with for years, steemit is making it slowly but securely go away!
yeah, there are a ton of people in our situations. It's a systemic problem for sure. I have a college degree and am skilled in many areas, and still i was just scraping by. Something bigger is happening in society.....
heyyyyy, she's back!!!! :-D
Something huge is going on just underneath the surface of society, I agree. At least we can enjoy living by the old adage about living in interesting times
Yeah, I would never recommend anyone do what I did: pack up your little hatchback car and drive across the country to figure it out. And then back to ca again, and then Nyc again.
It was rough, but staying in the navy would've been rougher on my soul
It's possible ! I did it more than once .
