Hello 22F here, I just wanted to share my life decisions that I feel are bad to someone who would give me a true straight forward answer.

PS. sorry for the quite long message, I wanted to share everything dumped in my mind.

I just started my job a few months ago, not the IT sector, but my sister and all other well wishers were happy,

" Oh, it's a good company " , " stress free job "

But it feels more like they're convincing me that it's fine here for now.

Even a pet of mine is still trying to convince me to build a career and settle in the same field.

But guilt of my past important decisions is still haunting me.

Not that only the IT sector is a good career, but I been dreaming it for so long without even my knowledge.

First,

Since high school when coding is introduced to us, I liked it so much,

I wanted to take up IT in College, but all the relatives and the college principal were convinced to take up the EEE dept(electrical and electronics) maybe because my grades are not that high,

But I should have taken my stand.

Second,

Still I begged my parents and joined a coding class outside, I learnt how to code myself there, to solve the problems,

And also joined other coding classes conducted within my college, where I learnt to practice in hackerrank, leet code and etc.,

I was selected for placement through a government scheme,

Everyone thought I had a talent in coding,

So all the audacity kicked in and started dreaming about the company,

Instead of updating my skills and learning to build projects in coding,

3 to 5 months went by, College was over and reality started to hit harder,

Third,

I felt so bad about siting in house with no job, and so low to ask any money for my expenses,

I tried, contacted and went all interviews,

But I have no background in IT,

So strong projects to prove me,

Nothing,

Time pass by, and I decided to take up any job that fit my engineering background and pays me.

A good offer came, not IT, but good company so just took it up without even thinking.

Fourth,

New people. New surroundings. New perspectives.

I realized job is not the only option.

Job is not the only reason to learn what to desire.

I can earn any in way of I am trully skilled.

I had more time in my training period for myself but still I procrastinated everytime and didn't take any step to update my coding skills.

Now that I forget a lot of what I learned,

And standing blankly like a dump without knowing where to, what to start, what is my destination.

Or even how to learn to build coding projects, or should I stay learning java, or should try python cause it leads to AI,

Etc, lot of questions.

But all the answer I hear is IT is stressfull, stay in this field, switch companies to increase salary and exposure, stay peaceful.

Should I settle here?

Can I really go into a coding career even if I know nothing?

Your voice should be strong and bold, not just loud,

Silence would eventually kill you,

when words overflow, you'll get lost — unheard,

Use your voice right,

Choose your words right,

You can listen to them, think twice or thrice,

When you know it's not right,

Don't even bother think once to raise your voice against it,

No matter who they are !

How nice or good you think they are !
