    I had to quit my job last year both for health reasons and because we decided to put our daughter in online school.

    I was a video editor before all of this. I was already unable to find a job in my field for a few years because everyone marketing person’s boss told them to download a free editing app and just shoot it all on their iPhone. Doesn’t matter if it sucks, it’s cheaper. And by the time I’m back on the job market, they’ll use AI to do it. And it will still suck compared to what I can do, but they won’t care because it’s cheaper.

    I’m turning 48 next month. I feel like I’m basically doomed to work shit jobs that I hate until I die.
