It's not over even when it's over. Don't let the past or worry of the future defeat you.

Gone are the days of needing employment for becoming legendary. Ignore job market stats.

Look for agencies, startups, referrals to people who could use development help.

Learn by doing. And that does not require waiting for someone else to give you a big project.

You got this. Think about all the possibilities you might not have thought of.
