Hello there,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a prospective career changer from 10yrs cooking. I’m hoping to use this platform as a legitimate way to change my circumstances and get a job one day outside of the kitchen.
I know it’s a long road ahead , I’ve spent some time here in previous years and finished up until the tribute page. This time isn’t much different other than the willingness to take a longer time to achieve my goals. (Before I cared more about the destination & therefore rushed a lot rather than the actual learning itself.)
I always wonder if I should go to school rather than to spend time on unaccredited certificates. At the same time I feel optimistic that experience trumps any degree and if I keep on trucking I will get results.
I used to program games as a kid using GameMaker and was even part of a team from Norway, so I think I have a good idea of what I’m getting into, I love being stumped on a problem and learning or googling my way out of it. I think if I were getting paid to do that I would be so so happy.
Anyways, if you have any words of wisdom please drop it on me, and to any other noobs out there feel free to reach out!!
