Ngl the fear of layoffs is what has me ultimately thinking I need to just get any cheap ass car right now so that when I have to apply for jobs I still meet the car requirement
People don't talk enough about how NOT having a car keeps you in poverty because you are denied by most jobs for that reason alone

My last job I only got because the manager liked me enough to request the car requirement be edited out of the job description.
This one I only got because I said I planned to get one and they trusted me.
I have been extremely lucky and not everyone can be

@eris@yourwalls.today I probably should get my permit because a shitload of IT jobs were in nowhere highway locations I couldn't go by bus or required a car too
I'd be less in trouble than before because I live severely closer to everything now, but still, no car if a future job requires it

@eris@yourwalls.today I don't even want to go get my permit, schooling is now required and I really really don't want to do it

@coolboymew@shitposter.world how long does that take? I did a driving "school" but it was literally the driver just making me drive around and then go on the highway and then saying I passed
