I'm really convinced. My sister just called via video and told me to go to the power plant, saying that my brother-in-law's friend is in management there. My sister said I sit at home every day and it's not a good thing; I should find something to do. I said I can't do it, I have knee problems. If my knees weren't an issue, I would have gone out to deliver packages long ago. She said delivering packages isn't that good, that it was just temporary work at first, but there's a chance to become a full-time employee later. She also said it's not a private company, that it has social security and pension benefits. She told me to consider it. I said I'm not just lying flat now; I'm a crypto influencer, running accounts every day. My sister said I’m chasing after something illusory. My dad also said I’m unreliable. Then we argued. I told them I almost couldn't survive last year, that I relied on myself to get through. I didn't depend on anyone. I bought a new electric tricycle myself, and I even bought a new laptop for myself.

By the way, have any of you worked at a power plant before? What do you think of power plants? My sister said a power plant is a major opportunity in life; if I miss it, there won't be another. But I don’t know what position it is, though I think it must be an operations role, day shift and night shift.

But I can't give up this influencer job. If I give up this account, and then I go there and can't make it, I’ll have no way back.

I've always relied on myself and haven't depended on others. I didn't rely on my dad. Last year, I ate potato chips for a whole year. I bought the potato seeds myself. I paid for the groceries and electricity bills. I really didn't depend on my family at all. When my knees had problems, my dad told me to stay at home and not go to the hospital. I paid for the hospital myself. Now he’s saying the power plant is an opportunity—I don’t believe it. The salary at the power plant isn’t that high; it’s only over 2,000 yuan a month. Plus, I’d have to study hard, stay up late, and not rest well. What’s the point? Operations roles at power plants should be hiring a lot, as long as you have money, you can pay for training and get in easily.

And if it really is such a great opportunity, how could it be for me? I only have a technical secondary school diploma. Outside, millions of people with college, university, or graduate degrees would be fighting for it. It’s impossible for me. Just thinking about it, I know I can’t get in. My cheap brother-in-law also works in a coal mine. I heard their coal mine can operate for another ten years.
