Can you have a mid-life crisis at 33? 😂 I feel like I've been going crazy over here in my corner trying to figure out where I want to be in life because I can confirm that what I'm currently doing is NOT it. After discovering crypto, DEGEN and taking part in the web3 space this past year, I'm now realizing that TECH is where I really want to be. I finally signed up to Coursera so I can start skilling in the different areas of tech until I find the one for me. Wish me luck! 💪🏾 First up, introduction to Cloud Computing! 🧑🏾💻

good luck! it definitely is stressful realizing that you're not in the right career, but finding the thing you **do** want to do is such a great feeling I went through something very similar almost a decade ago in my mid-20s. I had just finished pre-med, was starting medical school and on course to be a pathologist. all of my experience was working in medical labs and doing research, while doing programming projects as a hobby then during a night of studying I came across the Ethereum whitepaper and it just clicked for me. I saw all of the potential and knew blockchain was a once-in-a-generation innovation that I had to be part of. the next month I left my career and started living off savings while I taught myself everything I needed to know finally after 8 years I'm at a place where I've not only made up for time lost, but am happier than ever with my career path it's not going to be easy, but it will be fulfilling you've got this!

Wow, that's amazing! Good for you! Do you miss it at all? Also, why does this always happen to us science folks 😂 I studied Biochemistry but knew right away that it wasn't for me, never worked in the field just studied it. Honestly, it feels really good to be brave enough to start a new path. It took me forever to break out of my comfort zone & try new things so although it's a bit scary, it's actually more exciting than anything else. Such a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing! I hope to share a story like that one day soon. 🙏🏾🥰 100 $degen
