I’m almost 30 and I’m still chasing the career I want. I’m in IT, but I want to be in software dev. I want to build things, not just fix them.<p>When I was 17 a company poached my from my technical high school and put me in the field to learn by doing. It went great, but it’s not the career I want. I need to find the same opportunity but in a software developer role. I’m confident that I’ll be a sponge and I’ll produce results quickly under someone’s wing, but it’s rare that someone wants that with such competitive market.<p>If someone here is curious about this, please reach out, I’m willing to take it as a second job part time if you can’t pay much, or even if you can’t pay. All I need is an opportunity to get my foot in the door.

Son&#x27;s medical issue, wife&#x27;s medical issue, I hate my job with no end in sight, and I rarely get to do anything I would enjoy (hobbies).

Started a business with my dad, brother joined a few years later, it&#x27;s been 13 years now, we&#x27;ve put our blood into it , same with every one in the family. We prioritised the business over everything, health, relationship, friends,all our life savings buying a house. Covid hit us pretty bad, missed some payments, 3 days from now I&#x27;m probably gonna throw the downpayment I&#x27;ve been saving at it, but the lawyers&#x27;s have fucked up and it might go under and we&#x27;ll lose everything. Might have to support them indefinitely. I think it&#x27;s over with the girl i like. Smoking more than ever, getting high every day.

The apathy that accompanies depression. Most days, I can&#x27;t complete simple chores let alone the important duties required of an adult with a house and family.

Not enough income. Inability to focus. Inability to maintain a routine or sleep schedule.

30+ years of being the sole data-handling tech resource for a company that&#x27;s expanded like crazy, just over 1 year to retirement and nobody, but <i>nobody</i> has even <i>started</i> talking about replacing me.

1. Immature people in my family.<p>2. Not enough energy and not great health (I get sick rather easily when I get outside during less than perfect weather).

Why isn’t Medicare gradually phased-in starting at 40 or 50?<p>Why are my sheltered retirement funds only available penalty-free at 60 and onward?<p>Can I survive and thrive in tech into my 50s?
