@sinituulia I have to get out somehow but have no idea how :'(

@littlefox Oh no

Yeah it's probably going to be hard to find jobs in anything that isn't the physical maintenance of something that reliably breaks down all the time, like water or electricity...

@sinituulia I would do that even, especially electricity or aircraft maintenance or something

But I live in Finland without speaking finnish, making the needed vocational training(?) a bit difficult

@littlefox @sinituulia I thought you have vocational training on electronics, whatever the exact title? Language would probably still be an issue, but within EU that education should be recognized. ​
@airtower @sinituulia na, Fachinformatikerin Anwendungsentwicklung and licensed to have apprentices in Germany
@littlefox @sinituulia Ah, I just remembered the "qualified to teach soldering". ​

Not exactly the same thing as electrician or aircraft mechanic, of course, but should count for something, and they are at least adjacent fields. The teaching qualification might be even more important than the vocational training itself, shows someone officially agreed you're not only competent but also responsible (and thinking of aircraft maintenance, that's pretty important after all!).
@airtower qualified to have apprentices in general; practical teaching
@littlefox Even better, I think! ​
