Hey lads, here's my first thread.
I might going to be mocked for what I am about to post, but eventually I'll find usefull points of view.
Brief introduction for a better understanding of my situation:
I'm 36. Australia based. Background in hospitality, self-taught on IT systems.
Needles to say: Covid has been my "F*ck this event".
So here's the point: I am considering to taking advantage of subsidised concessions to enroll to Uni and get a Diploma in Information Technology.
HOLD
I am aware of MJ's insights regarding University, and this is why I am kind of stucked in this decision.
The past year I wrote and designed a really useful app which could help several thousands of people on long term once developed. I need two things: better knowledge on coding and a different fundational job. Regarding the second one, working in hospitality is seriusoly deteriorating, with frustrating condition as well as the pay-rate and work life balance. Coming home with bad pain all over the body and toxicity in the brain do not help scoring stepstones. I do not know how is it the US hospitality industry. Here in Australia it's a wreck, and with the ratio pay-rate/work-life balance you can litterally clean up your a**s.
I believe that long-term trends begin as short-term moves - changing foundational job from hospitality to IT could providing me a better work-life balance, extra insights and help me into the process. Otherwhise how could I afford to make a living while I am working on a project which I want to see becoming real?
Loooking forward to hear from the community.
Many thanks in advance for your time!
