 So many people my age, id est almost all of them, express their uncertainty of what career they want to pursue. I'm somewhat unique in that regard because I chose the programming path quite early and never changed my opinion since then. So, what is the conclusion we can make? I guess it's that people universally don't really want a career. 4 comments
@levibeach oh, so you think it's a modern thing? Yeah, maybe. Didn't think about it this way. Your advice is good, thank you. @bouncepaw I mean… does anyone really want to “work”? I think we just want to live a “good life” and pursue our passions—whatever they may be. I think the difference now is that there is just SO much information available to digest that it’s very easy to lose sight of yourself.  @bouncepaw I feel like programming is my dharma. I still feel compelled to do it even though I've chosen a different career |

@bouncepaw my theory is since we are constantly bombarded with politics, climate change, wars, AI, late stage capitalism, social media, influencers, etc, young people don't really see themselves as valuable let alone having a future. My advice is to stop paying attention to what everyone else is doing, and focus on what you want out of life. A good starting point is understanding yourself, your goals, your strengths, your passions. TBF none of that is easy or straight forward—but that's life.
