First thing, you have to find your inner self, how deep you know your self.
Find your motive to work, for family, for money, etc. please note, yes... with money you can buy everything but at some point, money cant do more, it is all how you control your mind.
I agree with work with your hobby / interesting, it will make you start doing something with love.
without motive, your spirit will fragile.
Everything in the world is started with MOTIVE.
Then, you decide either work for career in a company or independent professional.
Some people need to work for a company to maintain motivation, but the other can manage themself for self-working.
Data science and programming are good, another computer field also good. you can grow your career in all fields, computer services, software development, graphic design, 3D, web dev, etc.
Above all...everything you do, whatever you choose, do with all your heart and set full faith in it, and throw away your worries and fear, just do positively progress.
then you will find a path, you can stay with that or you can move to another path, but once again...do with all your heart and set full faith in it.
Let me tell you my story related to programming :
6 years ago I fell down to the very bottom, no money even for a cigarette. Then I decided to make sharp turns to mobile app development without any coding language background, I'm economic degree.
Even I have high mileage flight time with internet, design graphics, 3D, video editing, etc, programming field is like dense wilderness for me.
No one teaches me, only uncle google and a cheap internet package.
I surf and jump to here and there, looking for an instant app solution, but all is paid services.
then I decide to learn mobile app programming language, I surf and jump to here and there, ended with cold sweat and despair, so many times.
but I have faith with what I decided, slowly I knew I have to start with html and css first, then javascript or angular for logic.
In this period of time, with my greatest humble and gratitude to sharing forum sites which provide sources I need, at that time I don't know Babiato or not established yet, but now Babiato is one of my daily surf.
Shortly, I investing my months to learn coding languages every night in 7eleven which provide free internet.
and when I finished my code, I only have 2 items to sell, I have to pay rent.
one is my android phone, which I will use to demo my app, second is my laptop which I use for coding. Very hard decision.
I made a list of company to visit before, and I strengthened my heart and faith to go to the list.
On the way to target company, worry and fear haunt me, what if I fail to sell my app? what if my landlord kicked me out, how I make a demo if I sell my phone, my laptop?, etc.
What I do is step into that company and make a demo.
and thank's God I success to sell my app, all my worries and fear all gone, and I can pay rent.
Start from there, my financial is better, I can learn more and more about programming and web dev.
that's all my thought for you. hope you can find your path.
Long live Babiato.
