You are clearly omitting the most important part of your story. Are you an alcoholic? Bipolar? Do you suffer severe depression where you stop showing up for work for weeks at a time? Schizophrenia?
I wish you the best, but it is silly for you to act like you 'just can't deal with it' rather than just admitting the real issue and trying to get help.
- rhapsodic 11y ago+1. I'm surprised so many people commenting think this guy needs advice about the job market or different types of technology that might interest him. I wish the OP luck in resolving his problems, but I doubt that they stem mainly from his skillset or the job market.
- justin_vanw 11y agoI agree, there is far more high paying work for the skills he claims to have than there are people to do the work. In a career that long, he has dozens and dozens of former colleagues who are now far along in their careers and are decision makers. He should be getting offers to do work, nonstop, on his terms. He should be able to accept or reject work based on considerations other than 'getting money to eat', such as whether it is interesting work, whether he enjoys interacting with the other people on the project, whether it lets him work remotely, etc. There is a huge hole in this story. Why don't his past colleagues want to work with him again? What has gotten him blacklisted? The subtext here says more than the actual story.
