Looking for a new job

 It's time too look for a new job. I've been working with elektronik manufacturing for almost 15 years now. Both complete products for a companies own products and also manufacture circuit boards for other companies. Since I've done this for almost 15 years I have become really bored with it.
You do the same thing every day and no real opportunity for advancements. You get stuck doing the same thing every day. For the past 4 years about 200.000 circuit boards must have passed my inspections. And that just me. I bet about a million cards passed the group I worked in for the past 4 years.

It's time to do something completely different than manufacturing. Manufacturing will be my last resort. My dream job would be withing IT and doing that from home. I have some IT education in my backpack, but that knowledge is considered "too old" these days even though I've kept my self updated doing stuff with my own gear at home. I had an internship working as a support technician once, but that was also a long time ago.

I got two offers and one suggestion. The offers were running around in Stockholm on a bicycle as a "delivery boy". No thank you. Not when it's winter and -20 degrees. Second offer were like a service technician, driving around to different companies and fix stuff. It didn't say what to fix, but I guess fridges and stuff for food stores. Driving around in a car in Stockholm? No thanks. The suggestion were a parking ticket "officer", checking wrongly parked cars. I have diabetes Type 2 and need to pee a lot/often. I need quick access to a toilet. I need a fixed place to be at, not running around the city all day.

I also tried study again after regular school, but all I got out of that were a bunch of student loans.
I might go some shorter online courses, but they cost a lot money that I don't have. So right now studies is not really an option.

I can work with most things and I can still earn new stuff if companies let me. But these days they want you to be a specialist and have many many years of experience right from the start.

Well, lets see what the feature have to offer.
