New career choice

dxiong2 April 1st, 2023

I recently took into consideration of going back to school and getting a second bachelors in Computer Engineering. I graduated with a BS in Graphic Design. Then I told myself I would make a name for myself in my 5 year plan. It took me 2 and a half years to find my first graphic design job and then even now currently working there, I hardly do any graphic design related stuff. I just do mainly production and general labor stuff. So, after all this anxiety and depression just built up about not just sticking with what I should’ve just done because I was good at it versus what is just now clearly a hobby for me, I decided to go back to school. 27 years old. I feel like an old geezer. Submitted my application today and fingers cross I get accepted. Even if I don’t, I am happy to just know I went this far. I have always fought with depression and anxiety since graduating. And I feel like this is a step I should take. Even though I am still battling with it, maybe doing something that challenges my head and my brain will get my away from my worrying thoughts about the future.

Hey, that's awesome that you want to go back to school!

I have an uncle who has a degree in Web Dev and an aunt who has a degree in Graphic design, they run a web dev business together. You can combine both Graphic Design & Computer Engineering and even freelance if you wanted to. :-)


Good luck with the app, I wish you well dxiong2, you got this!
