“It’s my dying wish. You gotta!”

I can see my spouse facepalming when reading my will.

Spouse at 7:00 AM: “Why do only some of the house lights work and there’s no hot water?”

Me: “You know that quick fix I was working on last night. Well, umm, one thing led to another aaaand… Umm… Just so you know, your phone is using mobile data because the wifi is out.”

In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the semester. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes… or functions… or loops… or searching the internet… partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn’t bother to search for code (Stack Overflow didn’t exist yet)

Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.

That chart looks like it uses the federal poverty line. A sweeping guideline to cover all of the US.

People dislike a greedy business.
Start a humble competing business.
Greedy business falls in line or fails.
Competing business now free to push profits, becoming greedy business.

These are all great. I’ll be saving these in a file next to my resumes.

If you want more money and aren’t happy with your job, then yes. Look for a new position after 2 years.

If you’re on the young side, you should aim for financial stability since you’re starting lower. Once you get to a good place financially, then you can settle in if you find a job you like.

I’m doing well financially, with a house and decent disposal income. My current job isn’t too demanding, is flexible with my time, and let’s me work from home without surveillance software. I could make more money in a different job, but I feel it’ll be hard to find another employer who isn’t profits before employees. So I think I’m good and settled in this position.

I am not gonna do a 30hr challenge. I barely have 30 hrs to spare in a month and I’m not gonna spend it for a chance of getting a position. 4 hours max, and not even something too difficult. As another commenter suggested, use it as something to discuss in an interview to get an idea of how they think and make decisions.
