I really do hope so. My aunt is a social worker and she deals with white car professionals who deal with burnout a lot during life coaching sessions and these are some tips she gave me. Thank you for the praise she would appreciate it.

Burnouts are getting very common now for people aged 18-30. It’s actually quite scary.

Agreed. I work in banking, and the type of banking I do is usually considered very low-stress. I see people in their late 20s burning out and having to quit due to the extra workload that they’ve had to take on because they cannot find enough qualified workers, as college has become what someone would consider a bit of a scam. It’s regrettable to see because these are brilliant and motivated people.

Just doing my daily check in today as I bashed my head against the ball trying to learn ASM on paper. If anyone has any tips on how to visualize it better than a whiteboard let me know.
