My depression has gotten better. But I don't like to work. It makes me so depressed. I was thinking of starting business, but the thing is I am a very naive, innocuous person and people very often take advantage of my kindness and peaceful behaviour. Can you suggest any good businesses to start where I can earn well and also the probability of people taking advantage is less.

I kinda in the same boat however i would like a normal job since i studied CS for a lot of years but it's borderline impossible to get a job. I have send out hundreds of applications and went to at least 40 interviews, all without success. If you find a business for people like us please let me know.

It's criminal what happened to this industry.

I'll try to be brief. Im in America, my company has been bought. I'm a programmer and we have a bunch of custom systems. They are tossing them all and we have to go to their software packages.

We're planning that. The one system doesn't do a few things we need it too. I said well we will need them to customize it. I was told:
"They offshore most of their development. They aren't very good so we stopped asking for changes,"

That sums up our industry. Many jobs offshored. The quality sucks. People can't find jobs. No one cares.

In the USA both political parties are worthless on this issue. Likely true for parties in other countries.

So I feel for you. I'll be jobless soon. Tired of this fight.
