Try out anything that interests you, but understand that being a generalist may make it harder to land jobs. Second the “data entry is dead”, but if you get the chance, take it! The role teaches you attention to detail, proper typing (different than programming typing), speed, and multitasking. That’s basically where I’ve been stuck after workplace injury took away my trade, and now it’s disappearing along with most administrative/accounting roles I know how to do. If you’re just starting out on a career path, check out https://80000hours.org/. The theory is that you’ll work 80,000 hours in your life, may as well make it count because just following your passion isn’t necessarily fuel enough. There’s several books on my “to read” shelf similar to this; “The Good Enough Job” is about the only one I can remember off the top of my head though.

Personally? It actually functions. We have both Proton and Nord in our house because for some reason Nord refuses to function properly on my devices. My acct is a “family member”, so we think it has something to do with the account linkage on the backend - we paid for premium about a year and a half before we even started seeing YouTube sponsorships, so there may just be something not right in the code from all the updates, dunno, it’s a wild guess lol.

This is horrible. PPNs are only good for the insurer. Not exactly the same, but when I was going through university in the early aughts, my parent’s insurance had some pretty stupid restrictions on medications. I wasn’t allowed to see the on-campus medical team to get prescriptions renewed, it HAD to be from my GP, and the prescriptions HAD to be filled within so many kms of my home address. No idea how they handled medical emergencies, but I heard horror stories of classmates being stuck with large prescription bills for a couple inhalers because they couldn’t get “home”.

I’m not too surprised, but I think CT needs to be careful with how many product categories they have. Earlier this year they sold off the Helly Hanson brand ($1.3bil), so they’ve got a hole in their portfolio to fill during the 4-year/$2bil restructuring.
