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.

    I wanted to be a chef for years, took a few cooking and baking classes when I was younger. Now I’m a software developer. 🤷

      It took me actually working in food service to realize that cooking in a restaurant is way different than cooking at home.

      I couldn’t deal with the stress of a restaurant so now I do cybersecurity for an MSP

        I guarantee you can do it. All it takes is sitting down for a few hours a week and just trying it and figuring out what you like. :)

      When I started college, I was thinking I was going to major in music. Took a bunch of music classes, piano, etc. Also a software developer.
