      It’s a pretty neat trap, you see I can’t afford to take any time off work to even look for another job, let alone any unpaid training

      I’m sure if I locked the fuck in and pulled myself up by my bootstraps and got extremely lucky, I could jump ship into a better position, but that target is like 5 feet wide and a hundred feet away and surrounded by homelessness on all sides

        You obviously have the internet. I doubt you worked 24/7. Use some of that internet to study.

          Do you have any internet-based resources I can use to study in any way that would help me get a different job?
