Just recently, i had no job
I called, I begged. Not even Mc Donalds wanted me.
I had this fuck-everything moment and sold a very big lie: I'm an expert in some vague B2B program. I was desperate for a job, I set dirty low standards.
A week ago I was called by company X, they told me they are in desperate need for people with experience in X. I was like fuck yeah, a job! In fact. They wanted me to start right that day.
I'm designing bio-tech equipment and illustrating them with flowcharts and stuff, my first assignment was to draft some sort of benziniolide-something reactor out of thin air while adhering to strict standards and protocols. All this for 11 dollar an hour.
The experience is great, the material is hard and challenging, I got a desk as big as my room, but still...I feel like getting 'used', the people there earn 100$+/hour and all they do is flirt around and brag about their new sportcar without actually doing anything.
I'm wondering, should I be whining about the low wage? Or be thankful for the experience? I realized that there are only 2 people capable of using the program in the company, the HR-manager is really pushing me to make more hours and expand my current activities to other IT-related activities.
When I saw the immense complexity of my work, I felt a sting of hopelessness and despair, to be honest, i have never seen anything like that, a bazillion valves, amperes,volt meters, hydraulic auto-cad systems, switches, temprature meters, locks, bouts, pipeline circuit, electeicity circuit all cropped on a single image.
