Don’t let this single conversation get you out of your way. There are more good people than bad ones but sadly condition of the job market is not the best.

And honestly if I were asked the same question I wouldn’t give a clear answer either - it’s not only about skills but about being lucky enough for your skills to exactly match the ones that employer is searching for. If you have more you get more chances but unused skills will fade away quite quickly.

That’s why in my opinion it’s simpler to educate yourself until time invested in education stops giving a lot of profit (basically you got to learn most commonly required skills) and then just try until you land a job

But if there aren’t enough jobs in us market - only connections will help sadly

Yeah I guess you’re right and that depends on the child and their parents themselves.

My parents weren’t limiting my time in any way and that helped me to become software engineer actually so to me it turned out to be a good thing. If I did have my screen time limited I would totally spend it on computer.games and not CS. I’m sure about it because I spent a lot of time playing too haha

Oh, sorry, that sounds totally understandable - I wish my best to both you and her!

And don’t see anything wrong with that either way - was just interested how common it is

// sry for offtop but

Is everyone is fine with parental control nowadays? It was for paranoid parents only in my childhood and I didn’t know anyone with parental control really.

The worst thing to me and my friends was hidden power supply cable if you did something really wrong.

These became too expensive in my country too. Only buy it occasionally now once in 3 months. Prob they’re doing a favor to my health :)

And totally not safe for everyday driving to me. Even if the biker himself is a good one ,dumbass right next to him might crush him any second

Monitor the temp gauge in your car. Overheated my civic’s engine when radiator leaked :( had no warnings until it’s too late (2008 one). had to replace it, now always trying to have an eye on it
