I am new to development and trying to make a career switch in my mid thirties. It is scary, but also really fun. I wish I had discovered how much I enjoy programming earlier in life.
I am also trying to switch careers in my mid thirties, due almost exclusively to the pandemic. It's definitely scary but I've really enjoyed everything I've learned so far. The thing I find the hardest is knowing what I want to learn to do, as there are so many options, and knowing what path would be a) the quickest to get into as someone who has learned exclusively from Udemy over the past year and b) will pay the most. I haven't NOT enjoyed any aspect of learning to program yet so at this moment I have no reason to believe I wouldn't like whatever I end up doing but I'm sure there are types of jobs I wouldn't enjoy so that's another added difficulty, not knowing what to avoid.
