I am 33 years old haven't gotten a programming job yet. I could be making so much money now if I'd done it years ago. I'm hoping to finally make that change in the next few months.
But I couldn't stick to one language or specialization, I have a bunch of half-working projects and nothing finished. I kept switching depending on what interested me at the time. And I kept putting it off due to poor mental health and travel.
I'll never catch up to people that started in their early 20s, but I hope I can figure out how to climb the ladde as quickly as possible.
If I could go back I would finish one thing before starting another.
I also wish I had studied computer vision at uni instead of being the idiot teenager that did game development.
