The population of this town is 6,300 [1]. This area of Canada is not known for tech (at all). I totally feel for this guy, it must totally suck, but moving might be a good option too. Or, try starting a business or remote work, if you have to live there. These are all hard things to do, but if you are really down and out, all options should be on the table. Or, look for something in a different line of work, where maybe you can leverage your tech skills? I know this isn't what the thread it about, as age is a major theme here. But, this seems like a little clickbait given there are likely not many jobs in this town. You could likely burn though all the job postings in a few days. I know this comes across as totally tone deaf too.

- jbarham 8y agoYeah, as soon as I saw that he was from Nova Scotia I thought that's his main problem right there. (I say this as a Canadian.)
- mikekchar 8y agoThe number of people I know who would kill to be able to move back to Nova Scotia is absolutely huge. Whatever jobs there are will have huge competition and very low wages. I'm kind of in the same boat. 51. Working remotely while living in rural Japan. If I lose my job (or quit), it's either get another remote job or move. If I can't get a remote job quickly, I will not wait to find someone willing to relocate me -- I'll be on the first plane to somewhere huge where I can get a job.
