Hey Zig Forums,
I'm a wage cuck looking for some advice. I'm recently married, now renting a house and never missing installments on my car, phone bill, etc. I'm paid a shit tier 16-17k per annul and only barely managing to support myself and my wife who is struggling to find new work.
Here is my situation. I've been working a help desk job going on 4 years within an IT company in the UK. There has been zero opportunity to advance even before COVID. Per most companies, the help desk isn't valued because, on paper, it doesn't directly turn a profit. Due to this, there is a high turnover at the desk, morale is always low and the desk is understaffed. It's depressing having to work in an environment where people look like they have genuine desire to neck themselves.
Despite this I have pushed through like a good little wagie and survived redundancies. Ive genuinely applied myself and worked overtime unpaid. My best efforts have always been provided in attempts to promote myself, willing to even work just for higher level experience or certification.
I've asked my manager about opportunity and he's literally told me they are "few and thin on the ground"
I'm not asking "Zig Forums, how do I make more money" and expecting some formula to making millions, I hate people like that, who lack the independence to think for themselves... I've tried to make best of my situation and actively promoted myself, I am not going forward. I'm applying for other work of course but with current experience, I am expect to go back to entry level and be low balled again.
Is there any advice you can offer which I can follow to better my situation. I have zero knowledge of cryptocurrency but I am willing to invest if the general consensus is that it would be a good idea. What skill sets are genuinely valuable today, I have a fair understanding of unix.
>inb4 learn to code
I know a little python but any programing language is useless without a goal or project to aspire to...
