There’s a third one, too, it’s a funny one: you stare at countless (mostly fake) job vacancies expecting to be hired so to “deserve to survive”, while bills can’t stop arriving. You resign from your 10-yr IT career and try to apply for a simpler, factory vacancy, just to hear from HRs that your CV is “too good to be applied for our simpler jobs”. In the meantime, you catch yourself selling your soul and autonomy (constantly forced to accept the circumstances) to these people that share the same blood lineage as yours (some call them “familiars”) because you can’t see another option, except for going homeless, where you’ll be constantly assaulted by cops and people saying “go get a job” to you because you got nothing. By the way, you also inhale toxic fumes from air pollution from cities. And you stare at a Word document, your own CV, thinking “what did I do wrong?”.
Is your experience IT exclusively, or do you also have (even rudimentary) programming experience? Industrial automation is a great option. I feel blessed, having started from below the bottom (not all people are fit to be parents!) working as a metal carpenter while still underage, to have managed to get into this field, through hard work and, most importantly, a good amount of luck.

apply to lower jobs without most of your resume.
