Is your career path linear or nonlinear? Some people have careers that follow a straight line—each job is just a step toward a better role. For others, the path twists and turns, taking unexpected detours. As the world changes, so are career paths. There are a lot more people doing side gigs and starting small businesses. My own career path has been anything but traditional. I skipped college to run a pizza franchise and when that didn’t work out, I taught myself SEO. That led to a combination of side gigs, businesses, and now a more traditional career. My struggles with addiction made this journey more difficult but also taught me invaluable skills that I use everyday. How has your career path shaped you? Has it been a straightforward journey, or has it taken a few unexpected turns along the way? What lessons have you learned?

Definitely non linear for the most part. Tried college, it landed me in kitchens, cooking other people’s food. That led eventually to programming POS systems. The pay sucked though so decided to go for a trade. Became a construction Boilermakers. That part of my career has involved a lot of contract work. I’ve been across Canada working. Oil refineries, gas plants, coal plants, steel mills, nickel mines and Nuclear plants. Sticking it out in Nuclear right now, working in Radiation Protection on a pretty big multi year project. I’m also addicted to Web3 and DAOs, so my career path has led me to working on that stuff part time as I attempt to transition that to full time.

Right on dude. I have also spent my fair share of time in kitchens cooking for other people. Also done new construction plumbing for awhile. Hopefully one day, we can all make a healthy living pursuing our passions in web 3 and otherwise. 🤙🏼
