    what I don't understand though is what are these other jobs they're getting? I could quit my job tomorrow, but I'm not really in a position to do anything radically different than what I'm doing. I'd just end up in the same position I'm in now, albeit in a different location. With the amount of bullshit certifications and experience you need for like every job these days, how are people able to find jobs that are so much better than what they're doing now?

      Because the labor shortage is there too. Those jobs you need bullshit licenses for are lying. They need workers more than licenses. I got callbacks from about half the ones I applied to and ended up landing an engineering gig with no college degree
