Hi @slybeard!

Thanks for asking. Right now I am still committed to working with the hair replacement company for a year. I will re-evaluate at that point.

To be honest, the idea of working in "high tech" again, gives me nightmares.

@DoberDaddy It's not an issue! I didn't even realise until this thread that people can be tagged, however I feel I am deraling the thread with it.

Did the hair loss job work out or is that still in the pipeline?

@SlyMike

Talking about your beard derails nothing... :)

The hair replacement thing is going well, COVID-19 is causing massive supply and logistics issues for us.

And the young and entitled crowd want everything NOW and for FREE!  >:(

Hopefully things will improve.

@DoberDaddy how are you doing a year later? Did you find a good job?
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Hi @Tyler thanks for asking.

I decided not to look for one, I have had it with the tech industry. Also, no one wants to hire someone my age, and pay the expected salary. They want someone younger, who doesn't mind working the insane hours and fictitious deadlines for egomaniacs.

I decided to work full time in the hair replacement business and find it quite satisfying.

Good for you!  I have a number of young freinds in the IT industry who have all lost their jobs in the last 90 days.  And the one's who have not lost their jobs - have been told that if they want to keep them - they have to give up the notion of being able to  "work" from home; get a real haircut; and start reporting in to the physical office again!..
