That’s a little too past tense for me, even in my 40s. I originally, as a kid, wanted to be a paleontologist or scientist of some description. That morphed into music education at some point. That went horribly when I realized I hated teaching people who didn’t want to be there and were just trying to get an easy credit. So, having played around with programming as a kid (and having parents in IT-related fields), I ended up switching to computer science. I (mostly) enjoy software engineering, but I also bought a farm last year and now have two jobs. Is this permanent? Is this all there is? I’m not sure that I can commit to answering that (even in the best case where retirement is something I might actually be able to do; being a US citizen abroad is full of annoying for investing in the future and Japanese IT salaries are mostly 1/3 or less of the US version except at big FAANG and the like).
