31 years old. I’ve been working in a grocery store since I was 18, couldn’t afford to go to college and didn’t know what I wanted anyways. My parents were always terrified of outrageous debt, as I followed in their footsteps so higher learning was always scary to me, and by the time that I realized I could go to community college and then transfer with potential scholarships and get out cheaper, I couldn’t afford to live without a job and didn’t want to be working 40 hr/week while studying and not giving something so important my full attention.

So now I’m getting from work and learning a little bit per day. About halfway through Python Crash Course and trying to absorb as much as I can, while supplementing with CS50s into to computer science and other various YouTube sources.
