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.

    Librarian. Author. Then game programmer.

    Now I’m a senior fullstack software developer. And it is honestly fun to chase bugs, no matter if they’re my bugs or someone elses. Also I didn’t need any university education for this. Went IT trade school, learned programming myself, got job as 1st line phone support, then was promoted to developer when I found and fixed bugs before it reached the devs.

    Still would have loved to go the librarian path too. Maybe in the next life.
