I am 32 years old and looking to do a career change to computer or electrical engineering. I will be done at 36-37 as a junior engineering closing in on my 40s. I dont have kids or a girlfriend at the moment so more time for studying.

Do you career/job change as well in your country?

I was doing manual labor and I got a CS degree but I graduated at probably the worst time in history so I didn't get a computers job, I got a job talking to niggers on the phone for $55,000 a year

I have a friend that got a business degree in international business. He couldnt find a job in 2 years and is now doing a masters in economics.
Are business/economics degrees that bad?

Yeah. When the economy is good, you can get a generic office job with a business degree. But with this shitty global economy companies are decreasing headcount

not related at all, it's public service and in the current economy it's simultaneously extremely stressful because the city won't approve budget to adequately staff and it's dead end because nobody else in the agency are going to have to opportunity to leave their jobs for something better

Switching a career at 25 isn't really a big deal. You are like 3 years behind your peers and most of them are still in entry level roles

I'm nearly 30 years old and recently switched careers. I wasted my entire 20s post university and essentially did nothing with my life.

Just graduated from computer engineering, I will likely be joining the military as maintenance crew for avionics or something.
Ability to travel is a meme, even PHDs have trouble finding work due to overspecialization.

because there’s always a smarter nerd straight out of college, that’s more familiar with modern workflows
