Congrats on nearing the end of school! I ended up changing careers a few years ago and doing a web development "bootcamp" for 12 weeks. Now I've been a web dev for almost 5 years. Although I'm about to make another career change, I have really enjoyed the development work I've gotten to do.
I don't know specifically what I want to do in IT, but networking or system administration are kind of what I'm mostly interested in. I can do some programming but I don't have much experience with it. I really want to work in the non-profit or public service space, because the idea of using my skills to further enrich wealthy corporations doesn't really appeal to me.
I am really hoping I will be able to adopt a cat next year, I have had to move around so much and be in pet-unfriendly places for many years now and really missed having a little friend. Now I just want to be sure I am in a good position to look after them first and part of that job is looking after myself enough, lol. But it is a really good motivation!
Next year I will finally finish my bachelor's degree. Thanks to Covid I've lost a lot of time, but now that I have taken all of my modules I can finally focus on finishing this thing. I'm only two oral exams and a thesis away from being the first one in my family to graduate.
I'm almost 36 and finally got tired of waiting to start, so I am starting a masters program in cyber security hopefully in October. Currently still a high school drop out.
I'm stuck in a city I don't particularly like, for necessity. My husband and I will be moving back to our Dream City next year! Hopefully it's smooth sailing and we'll be re-joining our old TTRPG groups again!
