My wife has had one job throughout our relationship and I've had, like, a different one every year and they've all been poo poo

Same, except swap wife for husband.

Is it the jobs?

Am I unlucky?

Is it the scourge of capitalism?

Is it me?

If it's me, wtf can I do about it?

Yes, exactly!!
I don't know the answers but I'm glad that someone can relate, unfortunate as it is.
I have, I feel, a variety of hobby-level skills that could be leveraged into career skills but I have no degree/certification and nobody will hire without one.
I'm just tired of barely getting by with nothing to really show for it. I'm not asking for the world. Just enough money to, like, not live in fear, or be able to save up some, or whatever.

Been sleeping earlier than 3 these last couple days. But I do have some thoughts:
1. Why is my stomach making noise?
2. Like, wow, this is some audibly loud gurgles
3. Maybe I'm hungry?
4. Nope, just bloated from dinner.
5. But kinda hungry too...

yeah i'm similar with this. i get just deep enough into something every year to the point where i can basically kind of do it, but i don't have a good portfolio or certs etc so it's not something which i can use on a CV. then something else kind of takes my attention away, like i dunno 3d modelling seems to be replacing coding in my head as 'heck this is something i can give a shot' right now.

i dunno. i guess it's fine. maybe i will get good enough to make some money off one of these things but in the end, i'm doing this stuff because i'm curious about it and find something about it fun to do. don't need to whip myself for not turning it into money.

The opening of 1985's Commando starring Arnold Shwarmenberger features a garbage truck picking up trash, a resident dashes out of their home with an extra bag of trash he ostensibly forgot to put in the bin the night before and chases the truck down the street, only for the two garbage guys on the truck to pull out Uzi's and blow him away, as they were actually hitmen in disguise (as garbage truck drivers).

For some reason, instead of sleeping last night, my brain popped this scene from a movie I don't even like, that I've probably seen twice in the last 30 years, into my head and posed the question "Was their entire plan hinged upon their intended victim forgetting to take out the trash the night before and then chasing their fake garbage truck down the street?"

I just watched Commando again the other night.

They weren't actually making any other trash collections. The truck drove straight to the dude's house and Bill Duke and his boys made a bunch of noise to wake him up and make him think he forgot to take out the trash. The wife even makes a throwaway line about how the garbage company must have changed the pick-up day. So, the movie's logic remains sound.

Commando owns.

Why is it the only restaurant-style place that serves coffee are those diner-type places? Where's the overnight coffee cafe? You'd think the capitalism of preying on the opportunate dollar at all hours would make an overnight cafe happen, but no, you have to settle for the standard blend arabica from convenience stores/fast food.

Then again the small quiet of 3am is perfect for chilling out so it's not love lost, just an added option

We actually have a local chain of 24/7 cafes here in SoCal (San Diego). Great places to go to chill out or read. Or just sober up with not greasy food.
