It took me until I was 24 to go back, but I just graduated college at 27. Despite being a 50s-60s student in high school, I got multiple honor roll placements.

Now just to find a job 😅

I don’t know why you got downvoted, especially when the thread is specifically asking you what you did that you’re proud of. For what it’s worth worth, I’m also proud of you.

Sorry, I only seem to remember my failures.

I immigrated to Vietnam. It was… difficult, but I eventually made it work. I am happily married and run a small company.

So far, helped raise two solid kids, who look like their heads are screwed on right. Most of the credit goes to my wife, though.

I insulated my own house despite not being particularly skilled (to say the least) and absolutely loathing DIY.

A bit more context. I live in a house that was built in the early 70s. When I bought it back in 2009, there was hardly any insulation and due to the way it was built it was draughty and cold. A few years ago, I had the walls insulated, which made the major rooms a bit warmer. However, the house was still cold, part of the problem being the crawlspace and concrete floor. Last year, I got all the debris out of my crawlspace and put a thick plastic film on the sandy floor. That had instant effects: not only did the humidity drop (and some occasional musty smells), but we also needed to use less natural gas to heat the house. This year, I finished that project by insulating the bottom of the concrete floor with thick rock wool. That job took me several weeks. First, i had to glue wooden slats to the bottom of the floor and then I had to apply the rock wool.

My DIY skills are poor. I did this alone. It was a hell of a job which I do not intend to do a second time. However, the rewards, both in terms of comfort and savings are great.

Rock wool, ignoring it’s insulating properties, I’m forced to believe was created by the devil himself.

That is a ton of work! Good job!

Along the same lines, here are my small DIY things that I’m proud of. I replaced the chandelier in our dining room (first time doing anything electrical) and I cleaned the heat flame sensor in our furnace which fixed the heater randomly shutting off.

As a random dude from the Internet, I am proud of you! :-)

I don’t think I have the time and inclination to find illustration jobs anymore, but that was an awesome gig and I’d do it again if I had the opportunity

Haha thanks. It’s been a couple years now. BTW there is a Customs Broker community on Lemmy, the fact that you even know what I’m talking about makes me think you work in the industry. Someone else started the community but I’m the only person who seems to post in it.

I actually am not; I just assumed that a customs broker was someone who brokers customs transportation for goods & supplies, for international shipping and the like.

Am I incorrect?

Klanky ,

You mostly got it! You help take care of all the Customs details for clearing goods across borders. Also with classifying goods (almost every country uses the Harmonized Tariff System) and other regulations. Not so much with the transportation side although there is often a lot of crossover.
