同学快40了，开始学习英语，准备出国。
我劝他三思，35还能考虑，40有点晚了，学习新东西速度不如年轻时。
但他一心想改变，觉得这是人生最后一次折腾的机会，不想有什么遗憾，机械狗在国内看不到希望。
他只想出去做个普通工作，早九晚五，住大房子，运气好还能找个白妹子搭伙过日子

但是真的稳定下来，也五十了吧，掌握当地的文化和语言，最少需要10年，50后人生不可能再有突破了。

After 132 interviews, I finally got another job… as a school bus driver.

Software Engineer -> School Bus Driver

I was a software engineer with 13 YoE and Bachelor of Science. Apparently none of that mattered because after 132 interviews since May of this year I had a big fat ZERO job offers.

I’ve interviewed for junior, mid and senior roles. Management roles. I’ve had 28 people refer me to companies. Every single interview has lead to rejection. My unemployment is done at the end of the month so I had to do something.

I got a Job as a school bus driver and start my CDL training after Thanksgiving.

根据他在后面的回复，正式上岗后他的时薪是23刀——按照十个月算的话，税前不到4万刀。公立学校教师的福利地区差异很大，看这人的运气如何了。

不过那个帖子下面的各种回复让我觉得压力山大，期待早日退休。

I feel you. Went from making 125k to I’m stocking shelves at Whole Foods making 20 bucks an hour. Huge ego blow. Here’s to us both making more soon

I graduated with a Bachelors in CompSci with internship experience and looking for relevant work after I graduated led to nothing. I applied to hundreds of places and the few places that would actually respond back told me things like I'm "overqualified"; I'll "just treat the job as a stepping stone and leave"; I don't have the necessary experience of 5-10 years for an entry level job, I didn't have experience in a specific coding language greater than the age of the coding language; I wasn't the "right type" of person for white collar work; or that the interviewer wasn't sure exactly what a CompSci degree qualified me for. I blamed myself a lot, but in retrospect, I put too much faith in HR people and my flaw was not being connected enough to people IN the industry, and not moving to a better area for that type of work.

Eventually having to do SOMETHING, I drove school and charter bus and that CDL has been much more valuable in making money than the degree. Company paid for it too, unlike the degree.
