> I also just remember the “tragedy of my twenties” realizing society had basically no interest in me. For me it was wallowing in grad school for five years after graduating college in 2007 and not being able to find any entry level positions with a math degree due to the housing crisis, and the relative uselessness of an undergrad math degree, without useful experience in anything else. I remember the constant manic hum of "when am I going to start making real money, instead of pulling out more loans each year?". Fortunately, I learned to program during that time and eventually got my first job writing Python for a small civil engineering start-up.
