Let's say you wasted the last 10 years (you didn't - you learned a lot of valuable experience apparently). So what ? You will probably live until you're in your 80s, and work (if you want or need) until you're into your 60s. You have plenty of time - I suggest not to rush - you won't turn it around in 3 months. But you definitely can turn it around in 1-2 years. As someone wise said - people overestimate what they can do in the short term, but also underestimate what they can achieve in the long term. Don't bother with the resume or marketable skills. Decide on what you want to do, and go after it. If you do it for a year, every single day, confidence and motivation will take care of themselves, and I can guarantee you will be surprised how far you can go. 99% of success in anything worthwhile in life, is just showing up, every single fucking day !
