  • You should talk to a therapist. Your post history is consistent in going between wanting to go your own way and dealing with your parents because you’re financially dependent on them due to being on SSI. All the question posts are just bordering on procrastination.

    I think i want to earn money to gain experience but i also dont feel ready for a job?

    This is what I mean. You’ll never feel “ready” for a job until you get one. No matter where you are there will likely be low skill, low barrier to entry jobs going. They’re shit, they pay fuck all but they’ll pay more than SSI. More importantly you’ll learn some important skills. Namely being accountable to people who aren’t related to you. You’ll probably appreciate the additional income. You’ll probably lose the job because out in the real world you’ll quickly learn that people will only accept excuses for things a few times until they realise it’s a recurring thing.

    You’ll then realise “oh shit, not being entirely broke all the time is pretty good actually” and then you can look towards upskilling and/or going back to school. Move out of your parents and let them worry about their hobby~jobs and messy house. Start worrying about your own life. More importantly start doing shit, fucking it up and learning from it. Anyone who told you they immediately knew what they were going to do with their life and didn’t make any mistakes as a young adult is lying or had a trust fund.

    Tech support is somewhat different, for MSPs at least. In so far as billing and resolving the customers problem is usually aligned. Customer/tech support for places like Amazon or adobe is different. Adobe for example will typically only help out (resolving a billing dispute for example) only if you make it apparent you’ll leave/report them to a consumer bureau and they’re instructed in this fashion.

    The design choices are also sometimes shit on purpose. I get it though and was bitching about similar on a different post recently regarding Nextdoor making unsubscribing from notifications intentionally infuriating to do. Only offering to unsubscribe from all when you begin the account deactivation process.

    Realistically, as long as you’re polite or even just professional you’d get my respect. When I worked for an MSP some of the elitism of my coworkers was annoying. One older dude who I was providing support for asked how I “know all this stuff” about computers. Not only because it was my job but as I said him I’ve been messing around with computers since I was a kid. And a lot of that was breaking shit and having to fix it so my parents didn’t get mad.

    Glad I don’t do support directly anymore and if someone is rude or abusive; we can just terminate communication with them.
