1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,880
my dream job is to make $16 an hour writing code. Tech is a place where the
2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,620
ego runs wild and so they got to have the big dreams and all of this in that.
3
00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:24,320
Is that required? Because $16 an hour writing code is a big dream. To other people
4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:32,400
it doesn't seem like it. So who are they to say that my dream isn't big enough?
5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,280
Tommy dream bigger or something like that? That's specific enough. Well, my dream
6
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:49,080
is to make $16 an hour writing code. If, you know, I'm not going to cry about it.
7
00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:04,640
And if it's just if I face driving to do tons of tons of meetings and stuff, I mean
8
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:14,840
that's still $16 an hour. I hope maybe $185 an hour, but a dream just makes $16 an hour
9
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:24,200
writing code. It is a big dream. Because if I could do that, I could stop being homeless.
10
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:31,680
I could get a place to live. Start eating. How I know I should be eating. I already
11
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,200
eat good, but you know, really, really exactly what I want. And I could start dressing
12
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,960
the way I want, which I do is just my clothes are really old. And they were what I wanted.
13
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:47,760
What I got them. I just, you know, I like to get new stuff sometimes. And if I was
14
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:54,400
making $16 an hour writing code, I could do that. And again, yeah, I could be making
15
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:02,200
$16 an hour working retail or this or that, but my dream is to make $16 an hour writing
16
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:21,840
code. Don't tell me it's not big enough. You don't know where everyone's coming from.
17
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:33,880
So a lot of people just, that is a huge dream. That's huge dream for me. $16 an hour
18
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,640
writing code.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,520
trying to find a job from the street. You're going to get a ton of false negatives.
2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:13,120
People are going to say no because you just can't present yourself well and you know
3
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,920
that's the reason but you can't go back and argue about it and if you're just
4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,200
leaving a domestic violence situation that's extremely damaging because you just
5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:32,680
spent how long having everything good about you beaten down and pulled out and
6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,080
yeah you're trying to rebuild yourself and while you're trying to rebuild yourself
7
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:45,920
you're being told you're not enough constantly as you try to find a job
8
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,120
your anxiety might be running high as you're running out of money you might get
9
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,520
you might just have to take the first job you're offered and then you might
10
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:04,920
start getting abused again because I spell the weakness and I need to rip it by
11
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:12,840
30th into it sucked their energy out of it and so you leave domestic violence
12
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:19,360
you're sitting here constantly being you know it's just more of what you
13
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,400
are dealing with if you're going through physical at least it's not physical
14
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:33,080
but most people would say that the mental aspect is far more damaging so it's
15
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:39,600
like you go from abused and at least in a resource secure situation or you
16
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,160
know it reads like you know they may kick you out you know they may deny
17
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,760
this or that but it's not happening now so you have a place to at least sleep
18
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,760
when all is said and done but then you leave that and you come out here to
19
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:03,360
trying to find a job and then it's just more messages of you're not good enough
20
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,600
you're not good enough for this minimum wage job can't do it everything the
21
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,480
abuse are said to you is now like oh man maybe they were right oh man maybe
22
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,120
they were right but you know it's not true if in the past you've done well
23
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:28,880
for yourself so you can be like okay that's not true but still all the voices
24
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,920
everywhere in the world outside are telling you it's true so you're sitting here
25
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:42,800
denying the entire world while you're recovering from abuse and trying to get
26
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:53,240
on your feet there has to be a path around that there's not okay well
27
00:02:53,240 --> 00:03:01,200
why don't we start baking that knowledge into society then it's not good
28
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,600
or bad it's just if you leave domestic violence this is what you're in for
29
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:13,560
at best if you're if you're all there ready to handle yourself you're still
30
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400
probably not going to get anywhere
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,880
my dream job is to make $16 an hour writing code. Tech is a place where the
2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,620
