New Ideas

Eyes in Chalk



I’m really wondering if I’m in the right career. Am I really supposed to be a programmer? Keeping up with my projects and responsibilities is almost more than I can handle. I’m stressed out and overwhelmed most of the time. And I really don’t think I’m all that good at programming.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not bad at it, but I’m not good at it either. I’m just average. And average isn’t good enough.

I enjoy programming, but I don’t enjoy it enough to do it for fun. And if I wouldn’t do it for fun, then maybe it isn’t something I should do for a career. Or even something I want to do for a career.

My problem is that I don’t know what I do want to do. I like computers and I get excited about the tech industry. So I think whatever I do should be connected to the computer industry. Especially since that is what I know about.

The computer industry is massive and covers a lot of aspects besides programming. So I should be able to find something I enjoy. I just need some ideas, and then I need to start working towards them.
