10+ years in IT. Don't hate it, but it's less personally fulfilling. But I work for a great company so the work is just work and I spend my free time doing personal goals.

This is one of those things previous generations never really taught to kids until it was too late. So many times were we told to "do what you love and you'd never work a day". A job is a means for resources to be traded for goods and services. I will very clearly hammer into my kids brain is that you work to make money and that's it. Find a career that gives you the best work/life balance while meeting your "lifestyle" desires. Also not telling them that if they don't go to college they will be poor and sad their whole life.

I was doing my PhD when I started my keyboard channel, I graduated just before christmas 2016. Moved back early 2017 and have been working this job since then.

I used to have a much larger overlap in my life between work and play. It was kind of natural since I work as a developer and was going to school for the same thing. My life kind of revolved around coding, tinkering with electronics, and homelab stuff. But now, after schooling and working in the industry for a number of years, I do anything I can to avoid work-like activities after working hours. My hobbies have become much more phsical to get me away from a screen.

yeah nvm turns out I'm taking automotive engineering and possibly motorsports, life changes i guess. i just figured even if IT is a much much MUCH safer bet than motorsports for making a living, I'm not sure i wanna do that my whole life. even interning as IT sure it was super easy and i made money but i got bored so fast it was depressing

I'm a web developer. Wasn't the kind of career I was hoping for, to be honest, but it is what it is.
