Let's Talk: Alternate Career

Imagine this...

I always knew I wanted to work in the tech field with a somewhat technical job but what if I couldn't? Where would I be? Who knows...

If you had a non-technical job what would it be and why?

I wish to work in TV/radio broadcasting. I am doing coding tutorial/ Python talk show on Twitch at the moment and thinks that I actually enjoy it. Right now I don't have enough much time to make it into a "business" and I cannot earn a living with streaming (or not earning anything significant at all) but maybe that's something that I can switch to????? But I do like my current tech job though.

I was a Tech Recruiter before switching to Web Development, so in a reality not soooo far from mine, I would have continued there. I would have became a Team Lead and work on more tech education content for other recruiters :)

I would probably be a personal/fitness trainer. I started working out when I was in college just because my buddies went to the gym regularly. Gradually, I developed interest in, not just merely working out, but also understanding the mechanics and techniques involved in each workout/exercise. However, I never thought of turning this hobby into a profession, as I somehow knew I wanted to be a web developer. But yeah, if not a developer, I would be a personal/fitness trainer. Sorry for the long story though. πŸ˜„
