I abandoned my plan to go into software development by means of university, left secondary school and took up employment in a different field.
After a bit of lateral movement and promotion to a job that was more desk-oriented, I’m doing a computing degree part time, and I actually really enjoy it.
I’m doing it for fun, because I enjoy the subject - I’ve got no plans to use it and there’s no job pinned on the hopes of passing. It’s wonderfully liberating.
That said, I appreciate I’m in a privileged position to be able to do what I’m doing.
Thank you, friend. It’s lovely to have such a positive reply.
I’d recommend it to anyone - education is never wasted. This is the end of year five or six now mind and I’ve had a bit of a titsful of it - the summer break has come at a perfect time. I’ll smash this last year in then give it a rest I think, maybe formalise my French over a year or two.

And I think this merits being said, I think I speak on behalf of many here that we’re happy for you! Congratulations!
