Feeling lost and with no direction, what skill should I learn? - Lemmy.World
Hi everyone. I am feeling like I’ve lost any direction after getting laid off
earlier this year (was working as an analyst in telecom and very recently landed
a much lower position in healthcare data entry due to necessity). I already have
several hobbies but I am either burnt out on them or they have lost their luster
(similar to how life has lost its luster for me this past 6 months). I would
really love to learn a new skill, preferably using my hands to create something
while challenging my brain. I’m willing to take classes, study, practice, and
buy some equipment required for the skill. Please tell me about your skill/hobby
that gives you purpose. I’ve kind of exhausted google search which always
returns the same 20 or so craft suggestions like “make custom invitations for
weddings”, and while that sounds good for someone, it may not be good for me.
Current hobbies: Music composition and gardening,
So I decided to start a small record label and release a charity compilation...

So I decided to start a small record label and release a charity compilation... - Lemmy.World
Started having a conversation about it in another casual thread and it was
suggested I make a post. Its a 17 track compilation of 80s songs, some well
known like hit from Depeche Mode, Madonna, Duran Duran, and The Pet Shop Boys,
some are more underground like Skinny Puppy, Love and Rockets, etc. It was up to
the contributing artist who they wanted to cover. And some really amazing people
stepped up to contribute, like Betty X, PreCog, Missing in Stars, Giant Monsters
on the Horizon, and so many more. The recipient of the preceeds is Charles Levi,
he is a well loved and respected musician in the scene and was in bands like My
Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Pigface, The Newlydeads. Not a mainstream artist
by any means, but he contributed to films like The Crow and Cool World, and had
a huge impact on the dark electronic scene. But yeah! Sometimes getting this
together was like herding eccentric cats, a ton of different personalities all
working towards a goal. Everyone was really cool though and we got it finished
in the end. Im honestly really proud of what we were able to do in a relatively
short time and I appreciate everyone involved.
