Welcome to the developers' community, Natasha! As long as you develop your skills and learn new things you may find a comforting, yet requiring care and attention, place for work in this area. Do not be sad, just remember the old saying "Programming is the most fun you can have with your clothes on" 😉
I see you have studied in Universidad de Alcalá - my Technical University in Lodz, Poland cooperates with Alcalá in area of European student exchange. ¡Hola y un saludo!
I wish you best of luck in your software engineering endeavor 😊 👍 🖖

Haha, oh is that how the saying goes? Truth be told, I'm not that sad! I loved living abroad and working in international education, but I think it was just time to move on. The jobs were already scarce to begin with and then covid hit and it made international education a harder field (as you can imagine with travel restrictions and embassy closures vax requirements etc). Not to mention the pay and respect in higher education. If I'm going to work my butt off, I might as well get paid better, right? lol. Wow, very cool that you know Alcala! Un abrazo para ti! Thank you for the kind words. :)
