Overall I need financial stability. Today, anyone with a keyboard can do graphic design, web dev, or app creation, leaving millions of tech workers competing for fewer and fewer jobs. While my history of unique tech ideas earned attention and interest over the last 15 years, none brought steady income. Tech is no longer a viable primary career for me, so I am pivoting to healthcare for guaranteed financial stability, started school in June and already have a gig lined up for November. I will miss IT, and I will keep building AI concepts like this one I created in july (https://payplay.music https://payplay.music) on the side, but healthcare provides the reliable paycheck I need right now and in the future.

That makes sense, I think? I’ve never been able to keep a job for more than a few months because I hate being used (employed), so I can’t say I really understand, though I sympathize. I’ve always had to make my own jobs, so I also probably don’t know what financial stability looks like, but I do understand having more than enough money to live on and managing risk. Give me 100:1 bets at 1000:1 odds all day, every day. For me, that’s stability. And for that plan, AI is a force multiplier. I wish you well, and as jobs go, I am sure that health care must be more fulfilling than technical work, and probably a better use of human energy.
