    appreciate the feedback, “learn to code” was pushed for so long, now “coding is dead” is the new vibe, but glad to hear there may still be options for people like me out there.

    Going to continue to hone my skills and work my unrelated job as long as it lasts.

      Find a niche where you are appreciated. If you’re brought on as one in an army of thousands for “the next big thing” - you’re much more likely to be a part of the next wave of layoffs statistic too.

      I didn’t learn these skills for a job, they simply suited the job I found. If you enjoy what youre doing, and it builds problem solving skills, you will be hard pressed to regret learning the skill.

      That said, I started out answering phones, and built from there. Fix peoples problems and keep your eyes open for a job that let’s you fix the kinds of problems you find interesting.
