Thank you for sharing your story Will. I'm a flight attendant and my job takes me away from my wife and 6 month old son for up to 7 days at a time, effectively leaving my wife to solo parent which I'm hating. I started to learn to code earlier this year, its something I've been interested in for a while and I decided to use my time downroute in hotels to learn code so I can change my career path and be there for my family more. Reading stories like this keeps me on track and makes me feel like I can make that change. Thank you again Will.

Hey Adam that’s cool you’re using your downtime to learn, do you network at well?

Not networking yet. I’m going to be working on that soon.
