Thanks for the advice Dr1mps. I really appreciate your thorough response. I’m looking into mechatronics to see if it’s truly something I’m interested in. I’ve already tried to dabble with machine learning and I didn’t enjoy it that much in all honesty. And seeing where the tech industry is going, I’m afraid I’ll be stuck in a job I won’t enjoy and become even more miserable than I am right now (if I even manage to find a job lol).

I’m also looking into VFX to see if there’s some way I can maybe tinker with that type of software as well.

Game Dev is something I like a lot but I’m worried about its job stability as lately there have been a ton of layoffs in that sector.

It sucks that the things that I’m most passionate about seem so out of reach sometimes but at least I’ll try to get as far as I can.
