Yup. It’s morbid I know but I swear I’m just looking forward to the day I don’t wake up again. Sadly I’ve got another 40 years to go.

I just wanted to say that you're not alone, life seems very complicated and prospects seem rough. Try reconnecting with old friends? Sending some good vibes your way.

May I ask what your dream job is?

Sure. I’m a software developer but it’s just not fulfilling for me; like I enjoy the problem solving but it’s just not something I think I would be happy still doing in a decade.

I actually have a desire to help other people more and do something meaningful. Like teaching kids these skills, kids that don’t have an opportunity.

And here I am, trying to change careers from teaching to IT. I guess the grass is always greener

Indeed it is.

What do you teach.

[-] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I teach English as a second language

That’s an amazing idea. Have you looked for any local organizations or after-school programs you could connect with? Or even a local school’s tech program. I bet they’d love to have you in as a guest to do a project with the kids. My kid’s school has local experts come in to do week- or month-long projects with a class. Doesn’t solve your job dilemma but if you’re finding fulfillment outside of work it may not matter.

Those are all good starting points and I will contact the local organisations.

Depending where you are there are a lot of opportunities for kids. I'm curious if there are many free opportunities for adults and if anyone would do it.

I would do the same for adults to be honest and I should really look into where to begin.
