if your coding skills is coding for hp you got bright future, if coding in PC also ok but you have to convince the employer if no qualification. Try to take some Google certification. Is free.

F&B business is alot harder to start than you think. I entered into F&B earlier of the year and quitted after just a month (partly due to MCO also) and burn all my investments. For those who are thinking to start a biznes, I don't recommend you to foray into F&B unless you have strong backing or proven recipe. Covid & MCO just made things even worse. Think twice

IT companies look for at least a degree then only with those certs. Fundamentals are inportant. For your case, best to start a business

Hi TS, basically even if your wife has any wrongdoing, first off cool your head and manage your temper. Physical violence is always wrong. If things are not working, send her away to her parent's place or elsewhere. Sometimes best to remove the source of your anger so that you can calm down and think.

Secondly it's obvious you're not into hard labour/ physical work ie. opening stall. That's entirely fine and understandable. At least you eliminated 1 area where it's not within your consideration. Now, instead of Hawker, what about Food Delivery business? It requires 0 rental, and you only spend on the bare necessity of ingredients, packaging, petrol (delivery). Additionally put aside some $ to run ads.

Third, yes it's great that you have some savings with you to weed out the potentially difficult storm. Part of the money would be good for you to invest in part time studying (Diploma/ Degree) while you freelance or work part time. There's still income that's rolling in to help with living expenses and you still can earn your Diploma/ Degree albeit it takes longer (since it's not full time studies).

There's unlimited alternative path you can take, it's all dependent on you though. Remember, there's no right or wrong. Each decision you make opens up a new chapter in life.

Even if someone has no child, it's still wrong to hit their spouse. The main point here should be to condemn violence of any kind.

Stay positive

A PW1 wireman certificate has nothing to do with industrial control and automation. It is for building wiring and authorize you to sign as a tester for such wiring.

What sort of investment can net you 3% - 5% a month or 36% to 60% a year? Be realistic, with such returns who needs to work? This is in the realm of a get rich quick scheme where you will probably lose everything.

Well wasted the youth time due to dadikasi.
Lesson to learn in life. Go for basic work to learn the meaning of the life.
If wife not supportive during this time. No use to have her around. Must be gold digger when meet you and marry you. Only true love stays with you even hard or good time.

What is the meaning of life?

That's a lot of assumption you make over there.

I not sure if his wife a gold digger or not, but hitting your own wife physically is a huge no for any marriage.

And how you know she did not provide support to ts?
What if she already provide but just that TS him self did not realize?

Real man will man up and bite the bullet, instead of blaming his failure cause by his own wife.

TS, this is the only advise u gotto take. Don't listen to nonsense like degree is useless. U need it in life, and most people will look at it.

U already tried startups, managed to get 150k, now time is up. Get back to the white collar world.

Yo man, IT is in huge demand now esp even if its just basic technician stuff - even without formal education, your experience will more than make up for it i.e. networking etc and infrastructure will do. Msia is chock full of old unker aunty businesses being forced to pivot to having an online presence, even simple things like FB page etc also ada...

You just need to package your knowlegde into a product that can be sold to them, or if you just want a stable job, there are plenty of openings in the sector, Maxis Fibre guy told me headcount tak cukup, friend naik 2 steps in logistics company, they also IT driven, tech team there he told me tengah mengamuk headcount tak cukup also to keep up...

Gosok your resume, show that u know ur networking stuff, no need programming as core also can, dbase management should be part and partcel of managing a gaming server. Opportunities are there once you start searching hard enough, and don't put any expectations and youll be fine. If burger flipper can survive in covid, why not a guy with exeperience?

Getting education/trianing on the side is your bonus, but just get ur work together. Ayam just have a IT degree, doing role that normally expects master ppl with Ts. Difference is most Ts. can't deal with retards, management and hoomans.

Forgot to add: 150K savings will generate you some duit kesian if it is in an investment vehicle. Not great, but still better than sitting around in cash/FD form. But yela tu, read up before cari pasal.

Yes, its true. Whole bunch of SMEs more than willing to pay some cash as long as you get their problem rectify. Simple2 problem such as "My printer wont print", "I dont know why I cannot access my share folder this morning".
Go out there build your network and contact. As long as your attitude is good, humble, quick to solve their simple problem, you will survive or maybe build a small fortune. Once you solve their first problem and the boss grown rely on you, they will keep coming back to you for more.

guys, you are wasting your wisdom with this person.

this guy hasnt come online since he posted thread that day.
he never respond properly and obviously not here to learn and be better.
he just hopes for validation and ideas that suits 100% of his situation. there arent enough display of initiation from him bcos if he is serious, he would be asking so much follow questions from the advices provided here by sifus.

TS is just a lazy ass wife beater

Hi, i just came back as i am afraid to even read the response that i will get in this thread.

Thank you all for your knowledges, advices, kindness. I read every single of the post, some post also helped me a lot. I will update my status.

I used to disbelief about depression, now i know how it feels. I feel extremely sad, like the end of the world every morning after i wake up everyday.

I feel i could die anytime if something trigger me, i must salute my brain still managed to keep me alive until now. I don't have any energy or motivation to do anything. I also completely lost interest in gaming. I try to get back to gaming to cure my depression, but i can't even get myself to game more than 10 minutes.

For your information, i am not a hot-tempered person, the only time which i would get mad is when someone is doing something really out of the world repetitively. I asked her to understand the situation which we are in, asked for her help to improve the situation, she would still tik tok all day and refuse to provide any support. This has been ongoing for several months.

I know very well in advance that it is wrong to abuse my wife, i just couldn't control myself as i feel like i am only few step from attempting suicide at that point. I spoke to my wife, apologized, and i told her it is okay for her to leave me as i felt like a complete failure. But shes willing to give me a last chance. She also took the initiative to improve our situation by selling women apparels online.

I refuse to visit therapist, it is not cheap and won't solve my problem entirely, i am trying to save every cent i have.

Some of you asked how i have 150k saving, my mom used to give me allowance every month to my piggy bank. I don't pay for anything other than my gaming expenses. Is 150k a lot? Maybe at age 29 its decent amount, i thought most 30+ worker will have 1xxk~ saving easily, maybe not cash saving but most should have some kind of investment like house mortgage or businesses.

For people who say they are failure compare to me, you are not, at all. You have education, you have working experience, or at least decent businesses. Me, my saving is not sustainable, no education, no working experience.

Right now, i am trying to help to get my wife's business to at least cover our living expenses and with some saving. Hopefully that will cure my depression, which i believe is the biggest problem for me right now.

After that i would start to self learn some on demand IT skills then i try to apply job, while looking for oppoturnity to setup some small business. And if i managed to get hired at the field i desired, i go for part-time study.

I would like to stay away from being a programmer, i don't want to die from overworking, serious. My dream is to be a pilot, i dropped that idea completely as i know my health is not in good condition.

Can someone share updated knowledge, for Malaysia market, which IT field is on demand and doesn't require intensive coding? Except Network, Security, DBA, Cloud(aws,azure,google).

Maybe can suggest me which field i should get in base on my experience below.

My beginner knowledge in IT, all in web linux, game customization handle by other people, for windows i can handle most normal user usage. Shame, i put in spoiler.



Thanks!

RE:all - I myself don't cook, so i don't know how far i can go in this field. Imagine cooking good food, people satisfy and i can make money, win-win. I may give this a try by first cooking at home after i recover from being sick.

ishouldntcare123, Didn't know such whatsapp group exist, where can i find them?

electron, I think automation won't help much in this situation, better manual. Summore engineering need go to school.

Thank you for the ideas!

I don't have working experience, currently help my wife to promote her small business.

No, i am not.

Bro, i wish to be in your position, have working experience, means everything can still easily turnaround. I don't have.

Got lobang bro? WFH? If it doesn't cause you much inconvenient maybe you can PM me the detail. Please only do it in your freetime. However i am not sure i will commit as i think those job easily replacable by volunteers.

I think my skill still not enough even for intern, but if i proceed to learn, i think i can pick up at at least okay speed.

Yeah, my passion is not in coding, at least not coding for other people. Can't say myself is a coder. I just copy paste and make changes.

Thanks for your advice on business, i already understood most of the thing you mention. But I need a good product to produce within my ability which is limited, or network of suppliers which i don't have.

It is not that i want to think about suicide, it is one of the option. I have wife and a kid, honestly, this is the only reason why i can still type here.

Thank you for the encouragement.

I am on serious depression, of course if i could i wan't to opt for something that have less chance to repeat this situation again.

Is that a entry level job? After have cert can apply? Career prospect? Can you give keyword for this job so i can research a bit on jobstreet?

If that job can lead me to being able to create machine like farm maintainer even better.

Thanks!

No work.

Let's hope that we can see the light shine as bright again!

"cissp" can get intern/entry level technical job without uni cert? Not those pc support job, more advance like server networking, security etc.

Nice shop bro, really happy for you able to find your direction after quiting your job! You make your own product and sell right?

What do you work as in f&b previously?

Because i no education, no working experience, bad soft skill. Unable to contribute to the family.

This i think need to spend a lot of time to get good right? Will google regardless, thanks!

I guess you’re too demanding , try to survive in the real world .Get a job whether you like it or not since you have a family to take care of .Be a responsible person and don’t hit your wife .

TS, you should seek treatment for your depression. Forget about saving money on this; it should be your first priority. Depression saps your motivation and initiative and robs you of hope. Curing your depression will set the foundation for you to rise again. One of the signs of depression is that you don't take pleasure in activities which gave you pleasure before like gaming.
