I'm competing with 45-year-olds with 13 years of experience and a master's.

And I did an H&M interview to be a visual merchandiser, and there was 60 people in the room of all ages and experience levels.

Gotta find new traditions, I guess.

I don't know.

Maybe that's what it'll be.

We'll be doing gig work in the future, and I'm ahead of the game.

That's what I'm hoping.
