so a few days ago, I was deadset on pursuing a career in data. A few hours ago, I even spent $29 on a Datacamp subscription. That’s how determined I was.

Then I watched a few videos on Excel and SQL

and I got bored!

Same old cycle =(

Thing is, I’m intimated with dev work + there’s this anxiety about my long-term career being stable due to AI. But that’s the only reason why I keep backing out on pursuing a dev career.

With data, the only objection I had was I hated statistics with a passion. I was okay with databases, data etc. But getting a glimpse on what data people do – I feel burnout even before landing a data role haha.

I feel it in my gut that it’s not for me..soooo….

This was a slightly expensive lesson (Datacamp doesn’t accept refunds). On the brighter side of things, I discovered what I should pursue. Dev and design! What I’ve always been since college.

I don’t know why I keep straying away from what could have otherwise been a lucrative job. I wasted years..but yeah..no use moping around and feeling sorry for myself. I made my bed, lain on it, and now I’m getting up after resting and sleeping in a bit 🙂

this ‘aspiring data engineer’ is signing off…
