Existential crisis

Not being able to figure out what you wanna do career wise is the most frustrating thing ever.

I completely changed my career path about 21 years ago. I was stuck in a dead end job with no way to progress. I changed to something I loved doing at the time, but took a pay cut to do this. I eventually got to a better salary (not what it should be) and things were going OK.
The job became even more demanding for no more pay. I have stepped down and now working part time, before I go right off my nut.
My advice would be to concentrate on getting in to the industry you will enjoy. Once you are there, build on what you know and enjoy.
Good luck.

@CommandLine

That's gonna be tough but this gave me some hope.

Thank you so much sir!

It's even worse when you build something for years and suddenly you realize you can't do that anymore and have to start anew.

@00ro8 I did intermittently because I had to work on other things too. Now I'm not where I wanted to be and not sure if I want to do it anyway. There are so many people who are downright passionate and steadily gain skills and I just feel wishy-washy about everything.

@Unlearn

1. No, it's not.

2. They're automating it soon. With the growing technology I don't think so.

3. I'm good at what I do but it's very easy and anybody can do it.

4. I can completely agree with this. I think my interest lies in entertainment industry but I can't figure out what part.

5. I'm unable to decide if I wanna continue in this field.

Thank you so much!

I appreciate you helping me out sir.

@00ro8 Looks like automation technology is in demand. Might want to focus on AI, ML and scripts.

About the entertainment industry, the same principle holds true. Start small and grow from there...

@Unlearn I took up a data analyst course which is in demand and has a good future too. I didn't touch it for six months

Yeah and I can't figure out where to start
