@bartbreen Yeah having to worry about whether your business will stay afloat does seem really stressful. If your business was to go south, have you made enough money off of it to feel like it was worth it? Would you be pretty well off even if you had to shut it down? What types of businesses...

@justquaid Robots taking horses jobs is not going to be the same as robots taking people jobs… horses never needed jobs to pay their bills… growing pains” is a really light way to put massive unemployment to a degree we’ve never experienced before. It’s possible that with enough preparation we...

@bartbreen 6 12’s still sounds exhausting. Do you work solo? What all are you doing during those 12 hours? What is it that you are always thinking about in your downtime?

@kaynic Yea more than likely. I’d say within the next 10 years they will gain a lot of popularity. And what’s sad is they are making robots for virtually everything. Painting? Yep. Cleaning? Yep. Driving snow plows? Yep. Tree cutting robots? Yep. There are warehouses that are pretty much self...

So the paragraphs below are just some background, you can skip down the questions if you don’t want to read all that. been lurking here a few weeks. I’ve kinda failed at life so far (28 years old). I don’t really have any interest in stem jobs or trades. I can’t really maintain interest in...

@orangetabbycat Which do you do?

@newmove How long have you been doing that for?

@newmove What do you do and do you work solo or have you hired people?

@gossippk10 I think I would have no problem turning down jobs if I didn’t need the money lol. How often do you need to work more than 8-10 hours a day? And do you work solo or have you hired people?

I have been considering starting my own business for a while now. School/trades aren’t for me. I really just enjoy doing things like cleaning/mowing/painting. Problem is most of these jobs don’t really pay a comfortable wage, so the only way I’d be able to make a comfortable wage would be to...
