In a couple of weeks I'll be 26 years old. Time sure passes by fast. I'm now in my mid twenties, supposedly the prime of my life and yet I still feel like I'm stuck in place. All the people I knew, on the other hand, are moving at a decent pace with their lives. A couple of weeks ago, I found out that one of my old high school acquaintances gave birth to a baby boy a year ago. People I knew are already starting families, and yet here I am watching the days go by. I really need to start moving with my life. On a somewhat related note, I found out that one of my student coworkers is 29 years old. This whole time I thought he was younger than I was. No offense to him, but I really hope I don't end up like him, having to restart at such a late point in life. Guess it's a signal for me to hurry up and get moving.
Aside from the upcoming birthday, the only other thing I can write about is that I'm going to receive my associates degree in computer and information science. Don't know how much of a help it's going to be when it comes to job interviews, but hopefully the human resources folks will see it thinking that I'm technologically capable.
Trust me, it sucks to restart but sometimes you have to when you realize that you've been going on the wrong track. I've restarted several times and think that people who know what they want are very lucky. Good luck with your endeavors.
