I don't get affected by it, but a friend of mine takes a medicine that helps. I'll ask what the name is and elt you know!

Isn't it difficult for someone who suffers from seasickness to get into the navy? As in, how do you even work?

I usually stay away from the deck, I try relax and ground myself when I get sick. It tends to work.

This is so interersting to me. Is it something you can learn to avoid? Or is it something that's always there regardless of training and experience?

These are things that you get used to over time, so if that happens to you, surely after a while you get used to it. It has happened to many of us, we think that being on a freighter is the same as any ship and it is not like that.

Well if that happens to you I think that in part you just have to be patient, over time if you get used to it but the best advice is to take dizzy pills they help a lot.

Well, I take medication to avoid tides and nausea, I didn't go to the air force because I'm afraid of heights and well, my surprise is that the movement of the sea made me dizzy, all crazy but here I am and I don't go out without my pills, even though it says that my doctor that the best way to get used to it is without pills.

I think that if you get dizzy you are not in the right place, right?

People adapt, some more than others. There's always non-drowsy meds around if you need them, especially in bad weather.

How are you guys handling your mental health with job rejections or not getting interviews? I’m trying to stay optimistic but it’s soul crushing to see people you know get better jobs when you have been on the job hunt for awhile. I understand not comparing yourself to others but it’s hard when you realize you’re at the bottom of the totem pole and everyone else around you is progressing.

Coworker who tested positive also has a history of believing in conspiracy theories about Covid and the election.

I have started my career in backend web development. (NodeJS)
It's been one year.
So far I like what I'm doing.
However I hear so many stories of how people in cloud , ML or data science earn huge packages.
So, to survive or earn well, should I consider switching to any of these ?
If possible could you help me with what to learn and any resources for that ?
