You can make more in a few months than a year and use core competencies to get into other areas , develop certain skills , can have your own LLC, build relationships, relax as you get more solid, have a freer lively existence but it’s risky they get cancelled shuffled this that even if you go with flow can be rough I think…. Not the best to have a family with the lifestyle. But you can work seasonally for almost any firm and clients and just spread 🧈

Does anyone deal with constant disrespect in the workplace due to their age ? It’s crazy how secretaries are placed on a pedestal here because they are older and I guess have been here longer? But it’s becoming so draining.

For background there is an alleged rule that we cannot both be off)
