A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Even then, you need to have 10+ years of workplace experience coming out of school. The standards have been lifted to nearly unattainable heights for things that people with less qualifications would've gotten 30 years ago.
Yeah 10 years is about that period.
Also, a lot of these skills now have to be maintained as everything is at constant change of development. So got to keep up. I am not sure if most people got mentla and emotional bandwidth for this sort of work but that's one of the few things where you can get actually paid.
Trades is another but subject to different punishing conditions.
Either way, if you are a pleb, you gonna need to pick your poison and grind, but you ain't got to be a class traitor doing it.
Be good, do your job, don't bootlick.
