If nothing else this is a good time to take stock of what you were doing before COVID and see what you can do about changing direction, if it wasn't something you wanted to do long-term.
And while I'd love nothing more than to drop everything, go to UTI and start my own shop, that's probably not the smartest idea right about now...

On a broader note, hope all is well with everyone and their families and loved ones. We'll get through this..

The $2T was just a drop in the bucket compared to what it’ll take to get things moving again. Doesn’t matter how much money they print if there’s no one out there to earn it.

I just go out and drive the bejesus out of the E30 and 02 in between zoom meetings.
Im not so worried about my company right now, I am more worried about our customers after this is over.

Originally posted by graveshaker View PostI worked many years in the automotive industry and was laid off when the plant I was working for abruptly shut it's doors for good. Luckily I was able to utilize the Trade Adjustment Act (TAA) and have my college tuition paid for while choosing a stronger career path. I choose to be a nurse. Since then, I'm now specialize in wounds and is wound care certified (WCC). My current role is unit manager and wound specialist at a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. I truly love my job and am so happy that shop closed it's doors.
The construction site I was working at is shut down and many new jobs in Architecture and Construction I was considering are on indefinite pause. I am trying to use this time to re-assess direction, hone ideas for a business or my own projects instead of managing someone else's. For the time being I may start work part-time at a friend's automotive shop just so I have some structure with my time. I have been trying to stay positive, but the constant bad news definitely takes its toll. The majority of my friends have lost their jobs / are furloughed.

Been working on a hill overlooking the SD airport the last week, seems like more private jets flying than commercial ones yesterday.
