I’m a failure
Got forced to go to Computer Science course years ago. Never good at it, but managed to get through and got a degree. In the working world, I managed to stay only 1.5 months cause of anxiety and not passionate about programming.
Took another job as an admin, later to public relations for 2 years. Later on, feel like I can do programming, and give that a try. So I took time to learn, but learning gets tough. Decided to resign from my job to fully focus on web developing.
3 months later, I have the basic knowledge of web developing but…I’m still very far from being good….now applying for junior, or even intern job…but everywhere, they expect you to have like 5-10 years of experience, or have knowledge on like, 5 different programming languages, when I only know HTML, CSS, and Javascript…and I’m not even that great in Javascript..
I just…I don’t even know what to do now…I just feel like I’m never going to be great in programming…now, I’m interested to learn Software Testing but I don’t know where to start…
I’m not even the best at my own course… I am now lost in life… Jobless and not knowing what to do next…
Here are what netizens think:
- Take a step back. Plan our your thoughts. Re-assess the best possible plan. Work towards it with small goals.
- IMO, you may want to pause and do a SWOT analysis of yourself, before you move further. Understand your strengths and passion to define your career path. Explore the opportunities which may need your experiences and build a portfolio of your achievements (big or small). Good luck and all the best…
- This is call 3 min passion. Very very bad habit to have. No willpower. Best change or give up and accept.
- Got forced… If not happy just flunk only. Or go study the course that makes u happy. Nobody can force u.
