My 30s have been making me so confident now that I am not even feeling ashamed anymore for not having a job. I know I know you will say “but prachi job market is tight”. Yes, but I am not accurately talented for the market that might be a reason too😭. Anyway, the ship has sailed for me and I am looking for some alternate job role now instead of only a developer role. I mean if the world doesn't want to use my coding skills to build their products that is their loss, right?!.

Let me be in my illusion. 💔

My skill set for the alternate job role.

I sat down some days back to list down things that I think I am good at:-

  1. Coding with MERN.
  2. Writing here on medium.
  3. Giving free life suggestions.
  4. Storytelling.
  5. Telling stories about Ghosts.
  6. Having Patience.
  7. Taking 3 business days to come up with a comeback line. (dying)
  8. And Reading, OMG how can I forget that? I can also read journal papers, even when I am not doing a PhD.
  9. I love hyping people.
  10. Freestyle poetry writing.

These were some of the work that I think I can do with utmost honesty and 100% effort.

Now all I have to figure out is how to use any of it, or some of it, or all of it to earn money. Figuring out is the hard part cause, if you look around almost everyone is doing the same thing. I mean that's quite okay even if there are plenty of fish in the pond, you can be that fish who is a fast swimmer or just know how to survive. I also understand that combining these lists can give me a chance to survive. For eg. Content creation work will make sense if you are good at storytelling and writing. If you have patience, great tolerance power, and you love encouraging people you can become a counselor, also you might need certification for it.

I just celebrated my birthday in August and that has definitely run something cold in my spine and honestly, I am in fear now. I have failed in many possible ways, but I also have tried many things. For so long all I wanted was something to work out. Now 2024 is ending and before that, I have to fix this somehow, cause sometimes when opportunities don't work out for you, you will have to create your own opportunity. But I guess the side effect of your own opportunity is that you have to constantly try enough, you have to do better than you yesterday. No sadness and No regrets.

So today is the new week and she has decided to not give up on this financial independence thing, I hope you reading this are also feeling the same way. I will let you know what worked for me, but for a starter writing on medium every week is on. 💪🏼

Happy new week and let's restart again and make something worth of us. All the best. 🕺🏼
