> I am a Portland State University graduate in computer science trapped in Rochester, Minnesota without work.

> I've been in this situation for six months now and am facing the end of unemployment benefits.

> Searching for work in Portland remotely, hard. Ironically, I live next to one of the biggest IBM facilities in the world and it is a ghost town.

> I know C and C++, I worked with Raspberry Pi's running Raspbian, I am wanting to increase my certifiable skills in Linux, and I have exposure to more

> Unfortunately, I was let go of from my job at Apex in under a year, worked there for seven months. It was an impossible situation for me, code that was engineered to not make sense to anyone else. That said, I got a framebuffer system converted to an X Windows system and it displayed somewhat well. Because of concurrency problems and hidden algorithms, I never got the system working the way it should be. I'd love to work somewhere else in precision manufacturing utilizing embedded Linux.

Some success, but I don't understand systemd well enough to make a stock CentOS 7 run a custom compiled Apache and PHP. I really need professional training in CentOS/Redhat Enterprise Linux to complement my Linux Professional Institute Level 1 certification. I've grown up on Redhat, but I don't understand it anymore.
