I find it weird that I'm, at the age of 31 (32 in Korea), googling "how to distinguish career choices from personal interests".

See - the very idea of learning to code fills me with dread and my mind rebels against it.

Even though, I know that coding probably is where all the current and future jobs are, I'm still struggling.

I still can't 'get' html.

But put a story in my head, and I'm a happy camper; be it a novel, a poem, a DnD campaign...you name it, and I'm set. I'll read, listen, do whatever it takes to be on that journey of a story till the end.

But that's a hobby, right?(3/7)

When I see a Chess/Go/Shogi match, though, I can't help but keep staring.

I don't know what on earth is going on, but I know how the pieces move and I'm captivated by the whole thing.

...Another hobby, right?(4/7)

A word, like none other, chills me to my bones.

Forensic.

Puzzles, of all kinds, perplex me to no end. But when I hear about a case - I'll have a whole board of every little thing related to the case and gladly keep staring at the board.

...Hobby, yet again (5/7)

Philosophy.

Put me in a classroom and I'll babble about R v. Dudley and Stephens, Trolley Problem and Veil of Ignorance.

I never got my honors degree so you know how boring that class would be.

But I'd be mighty excited throughout the whole class. (6/7)

Future is in coding as well as many other creative endeavours.

Learning to code will net me a better chance of getting a job, especially in the light of this pandemic.

Yet, I still ruddy struggle. The struggle is real.

What on earth am I supposed to do? (7/7)

I'd love to tag various people to this thread for advice but it'd be inappropriate as all of us are under so much stress...

I'll keep googling.
