First of all, you need to figure out what you really want and what you’re willing to do to get there.
Some people mentioned starting your own project above. I think that’s a really great path. I was in a similar situation: I started learning programming about five years ago. I don’t have a technical background at all — I’m actually a humanities student. I didn’t choose programming because it was trendy. I chose it because something inside me said, “This is my path.”
At the time, I lost my job. I had several children to take care of. It was a tough time, but I kept learning every day - step by step.
And now? I create things. Not for money yet - for craftsmanship, for freedom, for the future. And little by little, doors are opening.
That’s why I say: follow your heart, but don’t forget about your mind.
No problem is unsolvable. Sometimes the road is long. But it’s still a road.
