like what did you dream for in the future or wanted as a job for when you became an adult. what did you end up getting stuck with?

i dident really have a dream as a kid, those were the years when i messed around and learned. now im in high school struggling with life and being paranoid for dumb reasons.

    You can change careers in your 40s/50s if you want.

    It's likely easier to get into the field you want once you're established, have resources and work experience even if it's not relevant.

    So don't freak out haha

    But personally when I was 11 we got a PC. My parents put it in my room. Which tbh irritated me at the time.

    But I got super into it and started looking around the program files folder and at all the weird files in there.

    I decided my dream was to make an application that needed those weird files. Which I did about a year later haha

    But I fell in love with programming. I chose all my secondary school and college classes so I could get into university for it.

    I actually did Games Technology but realised I didn't enjoy that as much as general programming.

    So I was lucky that i had the computer in my room and found something I was good at when I was young. And even luckier that it pays well.

    Your future isn't generally decided by a couple big decisions but 100s of small ones.

    If you're worried just start trying different things and you'll likely find something you enjoy and/or have a talent for.
