I'm not kidding I studied philosophy and now genuinely work in a factory as a mechanic. I've made it big according to this.

I have a degree in philosophy and I draw PowerPoint decks for other nerds to use and turn into data platforms that I used to build myself...

What type of qualification ment that you could get a job as a mechanic? Was it the philosophy?

a lot of jobs dont need qualifications. just basic knowledge and a willingness to learn is enough. esp for a small company.
