I'm questioning my choice of studies. I don't really know if I want to work in IT anymore. It has always been a hobby, but when I had intense workloads at schools I was disgusted of computers. I don't want my future work to be like that and to kill my main hobby. I don't want to end un in a start up working an insane amount of hours for a failing project & not be really useful to anyone.
@Siphonay you remind me of my daughter . it's the curse of an active mind lol . roll with the flow, enjoy the present moment ... most of your economic life will probably be dictated by external forces anyway
@theresatagonmyshirt @Siphonay very true. started as admin then IT worker in finance, then broadcast engineering in late 90s (almost a dream job that turned into a nightmare), then finance and IT systems for UK Govt (environment ministry), and more recently IT manager for healthcare.
Alas, the "cool/fun" jobs and where the economic stability is are often in different places, so try and enjoy your youth as well whilst you can..
@theresatagonmyshirt @Siphonay wasn't as glamourous as it sounds, mostly configuring and supporting embedded systems used for automated switching of audio and video circuits in TV and radio studios. A bit like a telephone exchange but higher bandwidth analogue data involved. Mixture of PC applications communicating with 68000-series CPU controllers. This tech is nowadays superseded by IP-based distribution..
