Let's talk about starting a career in your late 20s, early 30s. It was a whole lot of emotions and challenges but, from the other side of that transition now I can tell you that: 1. despite your fears, it's NOT too late, and 2. it is SO worth it 🕊✨
Today we are talking about becoming a software engineer later in life. I switched careers by going back to college but there are many different pathways. This is simply my story.i never thought I would work in tech having dreamt about art and design my whole life. But dreams change, we get to know ourselves better, and we discover new goals and dreams along the way. If you've been thinking of switching careers to tech, I hope you find my story as a little beacon to show that it is possible.
