Currently 25 myself, though I turn 26 tomorrow (well, 2 and half hours, now). I'm in a job (secondary mathematics teacher) I don't hate, but don't love. Really, I wish I could get over my fears. Fear of failure, but mostly fear of my student loans. I want to move and work abroad, specifically Ireland, and I feel that going back to school would be the best way to get a job (mostly because it would give me time and an easy path to network) since all my technical skills are self-taught (I've built a few websites using Python, Django/Flask, and Javascript/varying frameworks as well as some unpublished/unpolished Android apps).
As I said, I'm afraid of my loans more than anything, and the fact that I'll have to take out more loans to do this, unless I wait even longer... at which point I then worry about age issues with hiring, etc.
Really, I just needed to vent; definitely not in the best place of my life currently, and maybe someone here will have some good encouragement/advice or be able to at least sympathize.
