Surviving current job market, economic situation?

[serpentwalker666]

Hello, I am making this short. I have had some pretty bad luck with jobs and finances in the past few years, but things seem to be just coming to a head with the general state of the economy and most jobs not hiring or being sustainable for me or my family.

I've went from one shitty job to the next, while trying to up-skill and study when I can for other things to gain more knowledge to hopefully be my own boss when I can.

What things have helped all of you here in better navigating the state of the world? Even with many wealth workings, and just general progress, I've been in a precarious state of affairs with employment for awhile now.

There is alot more I detailed in some previous posts where I was struggling, same for my wife's health. I'm making solid steps towards being a good software developer, and picking back up real estate schooling.

I am nowhere near where you are with 20 years under your belt

By this, I say I've been tinkering in this domain for 20 years, but intensively, when I had the time to do.

C++ is one of the better bases. There is no many things you cannot understand after having to work in such manner.
Script engines are in a way powerful configuration tools controlling a C or C++ engine, avoiding to "sculpt" the memory like we do with low level structures in the header files, types...

But C++ being really difficult at the start - especially with stolen software on windows in the 2000s... I soon discovered the html then the combinaison Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP then how to setup servers, domain names and all being related to hosting system. It's like this I learned.

But PHP sucks at a moment, the way is developed is not in accordance with the extensive usage is becomed the subject. It's a victim of its own success.
Then I discovered Pike, PosgreSql... then Nginx... and progressively returned to the low level.

So it's possible your knowledge in C++ is superior to mine - keywords... That I'm able to do is to design a "system"
