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,

@ShadSterling@mastodon.social
@sinituulia@eldritch.cafe 🧵 so now I’m a Software Engineer working on an order processing system. I’d like to try to get back up on a trapeze or to work on software tools for math and physics, but now I have health problems that make that too much to do on top of having to work for a living.
I guess that’s really “all of the above” for the poll, but I really hate that we’re all basically required to do things rich people want in order to survive.
