    That’s fair! Modern life is… very complex, and expects a lot out of you, even if you’re “doing well”.

        I just wanted to say that you’re not alone, life seems very complicated and prospects seem rough. Try reconnecting with old friends? Sending some good vibes your way.

          Sure. I’m a software developer but it’s just not fulfilling for me; like I enjoy the problem solving but it’s just not something I think I would be happy still doing in a decade.

          I actually have a desire to help other people more and do something meaningful. Like teaching kids these skills, kids that don’t have an opportunity.

            That’s an amazing idea. Have you looked for any local organizations or after-school programs you could connect with? Or even a local school’s tech program. I bet they’d love to have you in as a guest to do a project with the kids. My kid’s school has local experts come in to do week- or month-long projects with a class. Doesn’t solve your job dilemma but if you’re finding fulfillment outside of work it may not matter.

            Depending where you are there are a lot of opportunities for kids. I’m curious if there are many free opportunities for adults and if anyone would do it.
