I was thinking, these days you can’t rely on companies. Neither to hire you nor to keep you around. And bills begin to pile up. I’ve been wondering if any of you found ways to earn your own money. I’ve been buying and selling trading cards. It’s not the most profitable thing but it’s something. I’m wondering what else people do these days.

Hello fellow job hunters. Currently 4 months in. I worked 1st Level IT Support for 3 years but I don’t have a formal education (flunked uni). Since I have a lot of time, I’m trying to do some “self-improvement” if you will. One issue I had in the past was not necessarily lack of IT skills (although that department could use improvement as well) but rather surviving coorperate culture. The people at work are so different from the people I met in school, university or in my friend circles. They’re older, toxic, demanding, impatient and very back stabby. Generally speaking, adapting to the corporate jungle seems to be more important than knowing how JIRA works it seems. How do you adapt to it? Any courses or book recommendations are appreciated
