@sinituulia@eldritch.cafe I’ve never been able to think of what I want to do in terms of jobs. In 2nd grade writing stories with my best friend about our stuffed animals I wanted to be a writer. In high school performing in musicals I wanted to be a dancer/actor/singer but spent my time at home programming computers. After flunking out of my first attempt at college (double in Dance and CS) I ran away with the circus and did odd jobs until I accidentally got a “real job” as a network admin

The first time I really thought about what I want to do with my life was when I started getting unsatisfied with that job not being challenging enough, and eventually deciding I’d rather be working on software that simulates physics & engineering, which led me to make a 2nd attempt at college which ended up being a triple major in physics, math, and CS (another kind of triple-threat?). But after that I couldn’t afford to take my time job hunting,
