What do you really do?
Quick find code: 23-24-951-65818561
Still unemployed. For some income, I rely on my online independent contractor job. It's not the greatest (my sleep pattern is f'ed and all over the place), but for someone that has social anxiety, it's a dream so far. I only wished work was more predictable and consistent. Some weeks are just horrible and it is a constant worry. It's very hard to plan finances and I'm lucky I live at home still.
I'm currently using the money I make to get into repairing broken devices (mainly laptops, macbooks and phones). I seem to have an intense urge to fix things that are broken. Nothing quite beats taking something that's broken, something that's been written off as useless, and watching it come back to life and just..work. Amazing feeling.
So far my repair skills are basic: replace parts that need replacing and fix any software issues (bad OS installs, programs not running properly etc). Certainly not high-level stuff. I've recently become real interested in the more complex side to repairing: that being motherboard-level repairs. Actually taking a broken board and rather than just replace it with a new, try to find what's wrong with the actual board and bring it to life. It's on a whole different level. Gotta learn electronics and soldering though, which is daunting.
I guess this is my true calling. I have other desires (like trying to make electronic music), but the one that sticks and I actively seem to be pursuing right now is tech repairs. There's something about it that I find very fun. I could do it for free and that's what I currently do.
I haven't really known what it is I really want to do in life (for money), perhaps I've found it (least I hope). Maybe I just enjoy doing it without the stress of making money. Maybe I'll hate it once I still doing it "professionally" (for money). Time will tell. .

You should look into Louis Rossman Group, if you haven't already. He runs a Apple repair shop.
