- BadCookie 3y agoI really, really wish we had licensing! Licensing would help with imposter syndrome, too.

- brailsafe 3y agoI've been looking at IBEW and the path of pursuing electrical as an alternative now that software development seems to have dried up entirely and need to find something less volatile. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though, because software was such a natural path originally, it's a little intimidating to go back to school and I have no idea what the trades are like. Got the time though, nearing a full year since being laid off and seems like it'll be another if I don't do something else. It also seems naive to think I'd be capable of becoming an electrician or succeeding in trades, but might be worth a shot.

- SkyPuncher 3y agoMy wife is in a licensed field. She still has interviews. Not the technical take home type, but she still spends 1+ days for every company she pursues. Total time is not much different than what I do per interview.
- tekla 3y agoYes fields that are easy to get into and licenses are easy to get have natural filters
