Unemployed 50 year old loner here. Been doing little jobs here and there, from plumbing to electrical to even cleaning yards. It's tough now out there and I don't even have a family to support. My anxiety is terrible, I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and pounding thinking all kind of terrible scenarios. Best of luck to all going through similar situation.
Hey brother, just sending support. Its important to remember its not you. The whole vfx insustry is messed up. Vfx is a hard job. The fact that you got a job in it proves you are talented. I hope things improve.
Difficult times are coming. Got laid of after 9 years as frontend dev. CEO of the company told me they have no money for salaries, litteraly have to get loans to pay sallaries. I am happy to hear you found your faith in our Lord, and came to one holy and apostolic Catholic Church. That is tremendess blessing, most important of all. Life is tough but we will survive all by grace of God! God bless you, and keep the faith!
The amazon warehouse near me they get pretty okay, about 21 an hour. It's probably not near a game dev, I know a game dev that makes 55 an hour. So yeah, you literally might just be able to pay your rent, a car note, eat some food and then have 100 bucks maybe left over. That might be a real current future outlook for you. And honestly, about 60 percent of Americans live this way. They live corporate wage slave, boring and poor lives. This is reality man. I'm in the same boat dude. And I have a blind older mother to take care of, and an aging Grandmother and ill father. Good luck bro. I truly wish you the best. May our lord and savior, the Holy Spirit, The Trinity, The Light give blessings upon you and protect you and shield you from the darknesses and evils of this world. Trust in Christ for he is the one. He is the light and will lead you to eternal salvation. Godbless and Godspeed.
I do have social anxiety, but Amazon is my life right now in both aspects: As an employee, and as a customer. They have the best flexibility when it comes to time off and scheduling. I am not in a good state of mind, but this has been for at least a decade already. My life is pretty uneventful, but I do wish that all of us that share these experiences turn around our future very soon.
Well said. It is really sad that most Americans live like this. And, unfortunately, it's going to get worse for many reasons, but mostly America has slowly been losing its status for many reasons. Myself, I'm a teacher and struggle on a teacher's salary, but I'm paid very well compared to someone who works for Amazon. Sadly, I dream of going to teach in Asia again because regardless of salary the cost of living is just so much lower. I had more disposable income making $800 a month in China in 2012 (I'm from the US), then I do now at $5000 a month in the states. And, when I left China in 2020, making about $4000 a month, I lived like a king. It's just sad that to live a life like that one has to leave their own country, but this is true for so many people. I think the bigger issue going forward, is those opportunities aren't even going to exist. The guy in this video is from Venezuela and moved to the US for a better life. I foresee a day, probably very soon, where people aren't going to be able to get ahead by even moving to a new location, regardless of the country.
Stay up man. If you can, leave Illinois, theres little hope there. We lived in Chicago and the work there was not great. I lost my tech job in san Francisco during the pandemic and over the course of 3 years finally found myself in a union electrical apprenticeship in WA at 30 years old . The road is hard but there are blessings in disguise. You are valuable do not forget that
Now imagine being 45, having both arms injured, being divorced and having 2 kids to pay for…and having no home of your own, no car and bad credit and no credit cards and no savings and no family or friends who care about you. *EDIT - Not sure how FAMILY PLANNING comes into play when the economy took a nosedive the last 15 years and you need to take jobs that end up causing you to get a lifelong debilitating injury...but thanks for the feedback.
life is horrible honestly bro it didn't start out this way but today's economy and how other people are these days makes life a nightmare. I'm 34 for context and I feel like every year is going by in the blink of an eye.
@@Jinn-y2u I agree with the time moving by so fast part. I noticed it really start to fly by in 2022. I am 42 now. This new way of living started before the pandemic though as many people say that is what started it. Honestly, I believe it started with the great recession back in 2008, but things normalized between 2010 and 2017. 2017 into 2018 I could feel these changes starting with people and the economy. The pandemic just accelerated it into high gear. It's tough today for Men in America.
Been in multiple werehouses in my 20's. Monotonic, you're second hand to a machine. But at least you're alone, most of the time, no stupid teammates to bother you. Now at 34 working for myself, not enough, need a second job. Very creative field yet EVEN that gets boring eventually after a year as well. Grind and repeat. Got two big plans ahead nonetheless, need a second job for income to cover work on my video game. Might work out, most likely - never, but that would be a childhood dream coming true. Keeps you going through dark days.
Work security ... you work alone, usually, especially during swing/graveyard shift. Easy money, for little to no effort. Sign up for training courses (easy) and apply for guard card. (no criminal record). Want more money, a more reliable & prestigious post ? Get a firearm permit.
Hey Louis, I am 19 years old, in my second year of engineering school. I hate it very much but im doing it for the money. My parents don't have money, need to take out loans soon for school. I Don't have much money, and every single company i applied to rejected me for internships (70+ applications so far). My dad is slowly dying. He doesn’t have anything and soon I’ll be stuck. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck Louis. I’m in a similar situation .
What discipline? I liked learning the various formulas. But it was the worst 4 years of my life. Passing classing and the midterm and final exams from hell. Was civil environmental. You said applying for 70 plus engineering jobs? Like where the jobs technician positions like summertime or fall positions? After you graduate and almost every company needs experience for a starting Engineering in Training position if there is a technician department that job could be a foot in the door to an engineering firm.
@ I am in electrical. I feel screwed. I have to study so much or I will fail out which I am doing. But school is very expensive and if I don’t get an internship for the summer of 2025 I will be screwed . I don’t have anything experience in industry..most of the roles I’ve been applying to are technical engineering internships positions for undergrads for the summer of 2025
Good luck little bro. My advice would be - don't pursue it if you don't like it. Remember. You compete with other people who love it and they are usually also very financially motivated. If you can - start looking for a niche in the field you will like it. Otherwise you won't get there easily
I was growing up during the “learn how to code” phase and now all I see is people who got jobs in tech getting laid off I didn’t go to college or get any fancy jobs or learn any fancy trades and now you and I are in the same job class :)
I got laid off 2 years ago from the IT industry. Today, I am just working some BS part time job processing medical records, working at a restaurant, and doing some stuff on the side.
Christ is king man. I'm so glad you found Him, or that He found you. Catholicism is so rich, so layered, so mystical yet so deeply grounded in rational thought -- it's my spiritual home as well. It has brought me into much closer relationship with the Lord, with myself, and with all those around me. I'm glad you see the spiritual warfare thing as well. It's all around us yet modern man is so blind. And as a result we get led into all sorts of confusion and sin. I'll pray for you brother. Sorry I can't help more but I don't have much VFX work for you. I'll keep you in mind if I ever do.
For those of us fortunate enough to not be in this situation, think about your blessings and be thankful this Thanksgiving. Hang in there brother. Thoughts and prayers.
Join the Navy, Air Force, or Space Force, and use that time to find your purpose while providing some stability to your situation. Age limit is 41, sign up before its too late. Do not disclose any of your mental stuff, you will be okay. You get the GI Bill after you complete your 4 year contract, and u can use that to go back to school to learn a new trade. You can also claim mental disability compensation afterwards too and get lifelong treatment (health insurance through the VA)
It’s okay to lose it all because you realize none of it matters at the end of it. I have defaulted on $100k and I’m still alive and healthy. You’re not alone in this situation.
Somehow got this video recommended. Hopefully things work out for you man, I myself fear getting laid off from big tech. If I had gaming dev experience like you maybe also do content around your knowledge in that industry? A lot of ppl are interested in game design (I am) and would watch that.
Matthew 11:28-30 ESV Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Dont Give up! God will bless you! I have a 8 children, lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my family, lost my kids today, i crashed and lost my new car and was injured 6 months, lost my work, lost hundreds of $K, about to be homeless and im penniless now and have 100K in DEBT.... God is good, in this I praise him, that when I am lifted up again, he can get all the glory!
Hey. I am from Brasil. Life is hard here too. Just keep going as you can. Better days always come, Worse days come as well. Keep fighting! Break a leg! 🇧🇷🤞🏽
I'm only 26, but you seriously remind me of myself it's crazy. Similar addictions, similar conclusions. I would recommend the book "Practice of Brahmacharya," there's a free PDF online. The book itself is a bit repetitive, but broken down in short segments... I've been brute forcing it and reading it daily. This practice really does help you brute force a lot of things in life while staying on the righteous path, it's about purity essentially. And could be used in pair with your belief system.
Lo siento mucho hermano :( Yo tb pasando por una situación similar. Espero que todo se resuelva pronto y vaya bien, de corazón 🫂Fuerza, no estás solo! 💪
Would you make videos where you share your experiences with VFX and programming? For example, what are the common myths, lies and misconceptions about these industries?
Web Design with Figma, Framer and HTML/CSS/JS, sir. Trust in G-d. You are not alone at Amazon and Amazonians are with you. Thank you for posting this video.
Brother, have a personal relationship with Jesus on your own. Build a relationship with him, speak to him as if he is another person. Many times you get put in hardship because you did not hear his voice calling when your life was blessed with much. You don’t need to go to Catholic Church.
To all the young people, unless you are going into the health, engineering or law field. Do NOT go to college. The best thing you can have right now is no student loans, even if your parents are going to pay for it. Take that money and invest it.
Hermano. Puedo comprender Gran parte de tu situacion. Soy venezolanos, y sin entrar en mayores detalles. Te deseo lo mejor. As above, so below, as within, so without.
Religion hasn't even helped me either, I dont know how people do it. I'm happy you can find some solace in this life, brother. I wish I saw what others believe in faith. I want to believe in God but its always too far fetched to me.
It is hard and might be too much while in spiritual recovery. There is an AWS Skill Builder Hackathon for Game Development that expires in Jan 2025. There is also an AWS Skill Center in Chicago where some instructors can provide support. But these are worthless ideas from me--only the OP and G-d knows what is wise.
There's an incredible amount of work that goes into game development and it's largely a gamble. You also need funding and team members because no one person does it all. It's just not realistic.
@@wanderingthedesert5599 A single person can make pretty impressive games. Think Bright Memory, Conscript, Chained Echoes. The only problem here is time, but with new technology like AI and automation tools making games will be much easier from now on :)
Go get a job in the trades, pays way better and will give you a real tangible skill. That's what I did when I got laid off the games industry. I make way more money than I ever would have
@doordash-m5k i'm in the midwest, just have a good attitude, be the first there and the last to leave. Show that you're keen to learn and try to minimize taking sick days. If you have a good attitude they pick up on it, if you have a crappy one foot in the door attitude they'll pick up on it. Oh and work on your people skills with banter.
@mschrimmer631 depends on a lot. I've done a lot of them before I settled on concrete. If you get good at it all you need is a truck with some tools and you can be making $4k a day doing side jobs. Civil pipe laying is low barrier to entry and quite a tough job, and you'll always be working for a company or the city so lots of security. Roofing is low barrier to entry and great for young guys, you don't see a lot of old roofers. And it's another one of those ones that you can quite feasibly run your own company when you practice and become great at it. Then there's all the trades that require tickets with apprenticeships. Those will really depend on your state or province, some places are better than others for certain ticketed trades.
James 1:2-4: "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing".
Right and wrong are not useful in this context. God told you to be at peace. This was not a suggestion. Do as you need to do to be at peace. If you are a good person you will not do bad things. But you must do whatever it is that brings you physical peace. Search it out and move your life towards peace. This no fap rule and mortification sounds important to you and I do not understand your situation but I believe that peace is the answer. Physical peace brings mental peace. Mental peace will bring you closer to God.
John 10 7-9 So Jesus said again most truly I say to you, I am the door for the sheep. All those who have come in place of me are thieves and plunderers; But the sheep have not listened to them. I am the door; whoever enters through me will be saved, and that one will go in and out and find pasturage. I hope you're able to find truth.
I'm in a similar position except more by choice. I've been a software engineer for 10 years and I needed a break from the soul crushing industry, it was starting to depress me to dangerous levels. I've been working low paying entry level jobs since then to just stay afloat. I've been attempting to get my foot back into software but there's barely any jobs around me anymore. I'm subscribing to you and I hope that you build a successful and fulfilling path in front of yourself
How are y'all depressed? Be happy that at least you have software engineering experience! I dropped out of college and worked warehouse jobs ever since I was 19! I wish I could have at least finished college! Y'all have a degree in one of the best fields and are still depressed? Despite all that I keep my hopes high that one day I will be able to make something better of myself!
@@stevensims3342What are you proposing Steven? I've been thinking, there's a bunch of skilled developers in the comments working at warehouses. Why don't we get organized and form our own company and build something fantastic?
I wish all the best to you. My advice is try to not beleive that much in the supernatural. It doesn't mean it does not exist but you could harm your mental health if you start living worried about what you can't see. Take care of your mental health bro!
He's speaking 95% about religious stuff and not about his previous or current job or the infustry. Don't waste your time on this if you're not interested in religion.
Go get a job in the trades, find your local civil construction company and apply as a laborer. You'll make way more money than you would have at any other job
Socialism is what creates these economic problems, Venezuela, Argentina and Greece is a great example of what happens when you stop fighting for Capitalism, low business and personal taxes and the free market.
the "free market" wont fix these huge corporations who can afford to lay everyone off and hire whoever they want. its what created them in the first place. im not saying that i know the solution, but this is what i think.
To be honest i do not think this content will attract a lot of subs. Or is neither purely religious or purely tech related. There are some "laid off" videoa that contain personal thoughts that might appeal to a lot of people and carry a positive outlook. But this is not it.
go find allah almighty the one true god ! look up in the sky and ask him to fix it all .. he shall hear you behind all these heavens and witness your lips before you even talk as he stated in the almighty Qur'an " and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein. ", take it as a quest to find him and who knows ! maybe you are one of these people where your heart in his hands before you were even born . NOW GO LOOK UP AND ASK HIM TO PULL YOU OUT AWAY FROM ANY PROBLEMS AND FIX IT ALL !

To all the young people, unless you are going into the health, engineering or law field. Do NOT go to college. The best thing you can have right now is no student loans, even if your parents are going to pay for it. Take that money and invest it.

Be safe brother.
At my job I'm so good at the physical and mental part that I am indispensable. In some cases you need to be indispensable for some key reasons.
Once Ai is perfected a lot of people will loose jobs
feel a bit uncomfortable and depressed listening to this dude.
You can make animations and such? Make animations of conspiracy theories, like Montauk and the Philadelphia Experiment 😮
How do you make it look realistic?
Get a job in security, security jobs are easy af
Religion hasn't even helped me either, I dont know how people do it. I'm happy you can find some solace in this life, brother. I wish I saw what others believe in faith. I want to believe in God but its always too far fetched to me.
1. Find those w $. 2. Listen to their problems. 3. Solve them. At least u code.
Why dont you start a indie game? :)
It is hard and might be too much while in spiritual recovery. There is an AWS Skill Builder Hackathon for Game Development that expires in Jan 2025. There is also an AWS Skill Center in Chicago where some instructors can provide support. But these are worthless ideas from me--only the OP and G-d knows what is wise.

There's an incredible amount of work that goes into game development and it's largely a gamble. You also need funding and team members because no one person does it all. It's just not realistic.
@@wanderingthedesert5599 A single person can make pretty impressive games. Think Bright Memory, Conscript, Chained Echoes. The only problem here is time, but with new technology like AI and automation tools making games will be much easier from now on :)
Go get a job in the trades, pays way better and will give you a real tangible skill. That's what I did when I got laid off the games industry. I make way more money than I ever would have
@doordash-m5k i'm in the midwest, just have a good attitude, be the first there and the last to leave. Show that you're keen to learn and try to minimize taking sick days. If you have a good attitude they pick up on it, if you have a crappy one foot in the door attitude they'll pick up on it.
Oh and work on your people skills with banter.
Which trade do you recommend? Been thinking of getting into plumbing.
@mschrimmer631 depends on a lot. I've done a lot of them before I settled on concrete. If you get good at it all you need is a truck with some tools and you can be making $4k a day doing side jobs. Civil pipe laying is low barrier to entry and quite a tough job, and you'll always be working for a company or the city so lots of security. Roofing is low barrier to entry and great for young guys, you don't see a lot of old roofers. And it's another one of those ones that you can quite feasibly run your own company when you practice and become great at it. Then there's all the trades that require tickets with apprenticeships. Those will really depend on your state or province, some places are better than others for certain ticketed trades.
If you from venezuela how is your English so perfect
I wish I could work at a warehouse.
James 1:2-4: "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing".
Right and wrong are not useful in this context. God told you to be at peace. This was not a suggestion. Do as you need to do to be at peace. If you are a good person you will not do bad things. But you must do whatever it is that brings you physical peace. Search it out and move your life towards peace. This no fap rule and mortification sounds important to you and I do not understand your situation but I believe that peace is the answer. Physical peace brings mental peace. Mental peace will bring you closer to God.
Hey you listen to Pennywise bruh? Sick hat anyways GL

John 10 7-9 So Jesus said again most truly I say to you, I am the door for the sheep. All those who have come in place of me are thieves and plunderers; But the sheep have not listened to them. I am the door; whoever enters through me will be saved, and that one will go in and out and find pasturage.
I hope you're able to find truth.
I'm in a similar position except more by choice. I've been a software engineer for 10 years and I needed a break from the soul crushing industry, it was starting to depress me to dangerous levels. I've been working low paying entry level jobs since then to just stay afloat. I've been attempting to get my foot back into software but there's barely any jobs around me anymore. I'm subscribing to you and I hope that you build a successful and fulfilling path in front of yourself
Have you ever worked with someone to make a game?
How are y'all depressed? Be happy that at least you have software engineering experience! I dropped out of college and worked warehouse jobs ever since I was 19! I wish I could have at least finished college! Y'all have a degree in one of the best fields and are still depressed? Despite all that I keep my hopes high that one day I will be able to make something better of myself!
@@stevensims3342What are you proposing Steven? I've been thinking, there's a bunch of skilled developers in the comments working at warehouses. Why don't we get organized and form our own company and build something fantastic?
I wish all the best to you. My advice is try to not beleive that much in the supernatural. It doesn't mean it does not exist but you could harm your mental health if you start living worried about what you can't see. Take care of your mental health bro!
Jesus saves those who ask.

He's speaking 95% about religious stuff and not about his previous or current job or the infustry. Don't waste your time on this if you're not interested in religion.
Read the book of Job
You're wise

At least you have a job.
I would classify Amazon as "gig" work not a job to be honest. It's not sustainable over the long term on your health.

Go get a job in the trades, find your local civil construction company and apply as a laborer. You'll make way more money than you would have at any other job
Keep seeking jesus bro he saves
Hey bro there is no God. Not sure if you heard the news
praying isn't going to help your situation, have to work hard and build life skills. I never prayed once in my life and I'm doing super well in life.
You never prayed once that is sad there is a God you won't do well when you die bro
How come all these conversions to christ happen after bad things happen to then? Where was that faith when you were thriving?
Hold on. Are you driving a right-hand drive car?? I guess your experience in video production didn't include mirroring your front-facing camera.
There's a difference between VFX and video production. The heat from the oven fry your brain?

Socialism is what creates these economic problems, Venezuela, Argentina and Greece is a great example of what happens when you stop fighting for Capitalism, low business and personal taxes and the free market.
the "free market" wont fix these huge corporations who can afford to lay everyone off and hire whoever they want. its what created them in the first place. im not saying that i know the solution, but this is what i think.
It's crony socialism and crony capitalism. Both are bad for majority.
@@Simon-xi8tb 100%. Monopolies are not good for the entire economy.
To be honest i do not think this content will attract a lot of subs. Or is neither purely religious or purely tech related. There are some "laid off" videoa that contain personal thoughts that might appeal to a lot of people and carry a positive outlook. But this is not it.
my God this video is depressing
Because (he) is depressed, SEMEN RETENTION IS 🔑.
go find allah almighty the one true god ! look up in the sky and ask him to fix it all .. he shall hear you behind all these heavens and witness your lips before you even talk as he stated in the almighty Qur'an " and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein. ", take it as a quest to find him and who knows ! maybe you are one of these people where your heart in his hands before you were even born . NOW GO LOOK UP AND ASK HIM TO PULL YOU OUT AWAY FROM ANY PROBLEMS AND FIX IT ALL !
He's got a backlog .. any other suggestions??
