I'm bilingual and even speak a bit of Spanish, I have a huge technological background going back to winning an award in middle school and even owned a repair company... But I've been fighting an uphill battle finding a tech-related job that matches my skills and I've either had to settle for crappy jobs that has nothing to do with technology and barely keeps my bills in check, or it was a miserable environment where I got even lower pay and the boss was a micromanaging bunghole...

Whatever happened to the positions where you are almost guaranteed at least $50K/year with full benefits, or the jobs that have the work philosophy of Google where you can do your work but also like lounge or have fun at work... Instead of willingly submitting yourself to a dystopian environment that is like Nineteen Eighty-Four meets war-torn Iraqi building where your boss is watching over your shoulder or spying on your computer, refuses to turn on the AC and uses "natural lighting" when there hardly is enough and you even trip over things, and loves to micromanage everyone...
Interesting, I've actually never had a job like that. Now I'm only in my early 30s but still. I have had shitty jobs where I was bored, however I have never had one of the crazy maniac bosses.

I was close at my last job which was a transitional job for only like 3 months but even that wasn't half as bad as some of the shit I hear from other people about their bosses.
