I'm in 10th grade now and starting to realize life, been spending my whole life gaming and now i don't know what to do, i have huge interests in both IT and Psychology, I almost never listen to my IT teacher and now here I am.

The thing I've gathered, as a wasted 29 year old, is that nothing can be worse than base level retail or base level serving. I have a very strong tech sense (building PCs and repairing electronics), and although I'm thankful for the social skills I've developed through low end retail exposure, I'm long overdue for something more fruitful and I can't see how the "not so good" section is remotely close to as bad as the stresses of being a very expendable wage slave to these massive companies despite their "You're all valuable" coercion.

It was never my dream to become an I.T I wanted to be a veterinarian but my mother said she can't retire early so...I'm thankful for the tips, even though my mother sets me up with computer programming class, but I'm glad I have a little bit of experience and knowledge about this course.

Im still choosing a course whether ill choose IT or NURSING i love both and both have a big benefit for my family. Although since its the pandemic, and technology is evolving, I wanna do IT but im still having doubts if its better than Nursing itself.

When i was at 7th grade i picked E.I.M. (electrical installation and maintenance) as my specialization and when i was at 11th Grade i picked STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) as my strand and now that im at 1st year college the course i chose is IT cuz if im going to think about the future programming, coding and IT specialist etc; will be a big demand in the near future and if we think in our todays time we are in the technology age and that is why i chose IT (in life there are tons of outcomes, and you will be the one who will chose your own path)
