I need to post this somewhere as I have written this out before here on HN [1]:
28 y/o graduate with Engineering Degree
36 y/o left engineering field, became firefighter paramedic (married with a < 1y/o child)
@ 40 started Master's degree in CS (online thru DePaul) (still married, 2 kids @ 4 and 1 y/o)
@ 45 graduated with MSCS
45 - 50 worked pt as remote software dev while a FT firefighter pm
@ 50 left fire dept became full time, remote, software dev
@ 52 start a new software dev, remote job with a major hospital in a couple of weeks!
With this new position they have tuition reimbursement so it is my plan to start another MS degree in August 2023.
In the link below I reply to someone's question about how I got to where I am.
