A part of me has always wondered just what would’ve been if I were into computers like the rest of my family. Growing up I did play some video games in my youth, but, overall, I’ve just never been particularly into electronics. I don’t really care for them. Yet, electronics seem to be the best way to make a good living nowadays, even though that may be starting to change with the rise of AI. It’s just a very unpredictable time at the moment, to be honest.
All in all, I’ve never been a computer person. Even after leaving medical school in 2016 during a time when I could’ve clearly done a programming bootcamp and apply for jobs at a major tech company, I choose to study the arts and improve my drawing and writing skills, efforts that are not the most lucrative options. Truth be told, I don’t really know what I’m doing in life at the moment with my career, I’m just really focusing on the quality of my work and the fact that I truly want to enjoy what it is I do for a living.
The thought of being an expert programmer is just not something that really appeals to me. I don’t have that particular desire despite being in an environment at the moment where that can be feasible. Again, unlike the rest of my family, I’m just not that into computers.
