Im tired of my Job but im too young to quit.
Hello everyone, my name is Enes and i just finished my LAP (Lehrabschlussprüfung) this summer🥳
Which technically is super good for a young dude in Switzerland, now i can officially continue working as a Car painter (Carrosserielackierer EFZ) after 4 years of apprenticeship.
That would be the best case, sadly i absolutely do NOT see myself on this Job anymore, i managed to fight and bight through my apprenticeship with a work-colleague of mine which helped me A LOT but i always knew this wasn‘t the Job for me, i only took this apprenticeship because i had no other choice.
Long Story short, since i was a lil dude i always seemed very interested in IT-Stuff, i‘ve build a couple of Computers in the past few years, been always a „Hobby-IT-Support“ for my family, and the best part is, i always loved doing it and helping them.
Every time i talked to someone who works in IT i always told them how much i wish i could do that for a living and so on.
This is like my last resort because i‘ve seen people finding the help they need on Reddit.
The thing is i have a Fix Workplace as a car painter, with a decent pay and a pretty good team ngl. But the problem is, i‘ve been working there for 6 Days know and its been absolut Hell for me, dont get me wrong the people are nice the machines are cool and stuff, but im literally crying because i cant do this Job anymore, its not my thing and i‘d rather die then continue working as a Car Painter.
I‘ve looked for some alternatives like the Benedict Private School where if you have an EFZ, you could start a new apprenticeship as a Informatiker EFZ (inkl. Praktikum ab dem 2. Semester) but another thing you need is 25‘000.- of cash as well, which i dont have.
I could technically work 1-2 years, save up the money and pay myself out of this misery, then i could work 2 years in a Praktikum and finish my second EFZ with 23/24 years old.
And another thing is, i‘ve thought of starting a praktikum for a year until i begin the private school, but there are 2 main problems. Nobody wants a Car painter to start as a IT-Praktikant, and even if i get a Praktikum? I wont have saved up enough money to start school either next year or in two years
But my problem is that i absolutely cannot see myself working 1-2 years in this job to save up money, the thing is im not particularly good at the job and i can sense that they have high expectations of me, everywhere, not just at this workplace.
If i would be more then decent at my job then i maybe somehow would get through it yk, but i somehow sense that im gonna get Fired during the Probezeit because of Lack of Leistung.
I just hope that somebody can help me or give me Tips on what i can do because i‘m really desperate and i don‘t know what i will do if they really do Fire me and i don’t have a Anschlusslösung.
Thank you everyone in advance.
P.S: i live in Kanton Zürich (Dietikon) if that helps somehow
EDIT: Thank you everyone for the suggestions and help, i‘ll try my best to respond to all of them after work since im suffering while painting cars rn😅
