      Bro to sum this shit up 10 months later :you waste time pursuing things that won't entirely benefit you.
      I'm going on a spiel.
      Be aware of: what your not aware of.
      If you specialize in one or two things for instance you may be better off.
      If you REALLY need a job, you'll get a job right?
      But if you know that job sucks, youll get a better job if the opportunity presented itself, correct?
      But there is one big trap that lies on this idea! That if you keep jumping from job to job, you will defeat yourself in the end professionally in the end because you never specialized. Anyone can do the trades, but if they don't master one trade-do they really get ahead?
      General principles to think about: Efficiency, make more for less, etc.
      If everyone did everything themselves, like cook food for for instance, would the restaurant industry exist? Fuck. People can cook their own food but they don't want to.
      In fact, Im a mechanic and welder and I can't use my own garage. Guess what? I have to swallow my pride and get my car fixed somewhere else and get the problem solved FOR THE SAKE of getting that car moving and usable.
      Opportunity and precedence is valuable.
      I know someone who has jumped from coal mining to coal power plant building to house building to car mechanics all because he isn't happy after 7-8 months with what he does.
      Just because you do everything doesn't mean you should, you waste time pursuing things that won't entirely benefit you.
