I'm questioning my choice of studies. I don't really know if I want to work in IT anymore. It has always been a hobby, but when I had intense workloads at schools I was disgusted of computers. I don't want my future work to be like that and to kill my main hobby. I don't want to end un in a start up working an insane amount of hours for a failing project & not be really useful to anyone.
@Siphonay Programming fortunately became my profession during a time when I had lost my enthusiasm for it. It couldn't really be ruined. I work in a blockchain startup now, and I work closely with the founders. My work feels meaningful, and occasionally, I get to apply other skills than programming. The pay is meager, but it's worth it.
@Siphonay You wouldn't say what you're saying if you worked where I work. I spend most of my week doing what I want. Showing up at the office is often entirely optional, and the hours are usually completely flexible. We tend to do our work in short and intense stints. It's a really different kind of job.
