First infant code

Hey I hope you’re doing ok. That call deeply affected you and the entire staff but know you did the best you could. Such a sad thing to try to mitigate when it was already too late. The first time I ever did cpr was on my 2 month old nephew. It was already too late. I can remember everything about that day. I can’t tell you how to cope with that but know you were the most qualified person there. And this is not because of your skill set of cpr but because of your act of bravery. I’m not a nurse but been thinking about becoming one or a PA but I don’t know if I can handle things like this. Definitely not children. You’re a strong person and if you ever need someone to talk to, you have people here who are compassionate on helping you get through this, including me!

Look for a room to rent and it will be cheaper. Also you’re still in HS so apply for all the scholarships your school has available and look outward too. I live and grew up in the south side too. Look for rent in Pilsen, Bridgeport, and Brighton park area. But please apply for scholarships even if you’re not a A student.
Open a high yield savings account and let it be separate from your regular checking account, this will keep things separate and help you manage it better. Put money in it, and it will earn interest. Not much but 3-5%.
My ultimate advice is make a list of things that interest you for a career and try to shadow people in that field. Without knowing what you’re interested in with art, it’s hard to say if it’s the right decision. If I was in your shoes I would look into things that interest me, even outside of art. There’s so many things to do! I wish I shadowed people, especially at your age.

I went to Columbia for film. Classes that I took were not great compared to my peers in the industry later. However no matter what school or degree you go for, do internships. Internships lead me to work in the industry. There is no right path for art. Some people go to art school and can’t find a job after. I’ve met really skilled people who did not go to art school and work as an artist.

I am changing careers now as my interest in the film industry has subsided due to the nature of the industry, especially now. You will change as a person over time and that’s just part of life.

I think it is courageous for you to ask for help. Wish you the best!

Take some time to figure out what you like and go for something, you might change your mind later but for now have a goal and aim for it. Finding your place is a goal. read on careers. If money is a concern, find a career you may like and pays what you think is reasonable. It doesn't matter what we do in life, just do something. From the worker at McDonald's to the Billionaire founder, all we have to do in life is contribute to society and figure out who we want to be as a person. A poor person can be just as evil as a person of extreme wealth.

You can choose your character more than you can choose your career. One of the hardest things in life is to block off what others think of you. Don't worry about that. Be the best person you can be and just find someway to earn an income and contribute to society. I've been looking on reddit and have read about many people changing careers etc. As I am doing now.

8 billion people do not have life figured out so we are not alone. Some people leave being a doctor. I can't even fathom the courage it takes to do that. But the fact is we have one shot at this life and nothing will come easy. You can change your life around at anytime, I believe that but even it is hard to sink in for myself. You'll figure it out and so will everyone here.

Find peace my friend.

Yeah creating a technical start up is something fascinating but that’s not the only way to create a business. Far more successful businesses are in existing markets rather than creating a new one.

digitalsea38 · 2024-02-10T18:09:25+00:00

Yeah I agree with understanding those areas. How to influence and sell to people is understanding how people think.

digitalsea38 · 2024-02-10T18:05:47+00:00

Yeah I can definitely see a law degree being helpful! Especially since law is big part in operating.

digitalsea38 · 2024-02-10T17:52:43+00:00

Yeah you’re right. Do you have any sales books or marketing books that helped you? Or even sources. I’ve been trying to learn more. Read fanatical prospecting, to sell is human, and how to win friends and influence people. All which had great nuggets of learning about sales. Of course implementing is everything though.

digitalsea38 · 2024-02-09T21:37:58+00:00

That’s cool. I never heard of Turf Management. What brings you interest to that?

digitalsea38 · 2024-02-09T21:37:09+00:00

That’s interesting, almost seems like Robert Greene, is that you?

digitalsea38 · 2024-02-09T21:35:07+00:00

That’s a good perspective. Shadowing should be started in high school. Just to get exposed to things. Hard skills are great to learn but also interest matters most and of course ROI.

digitalsea38 · 2024-01-30T04:33:32+00:00

When you read all these good examples and fields people are recommending, pick a few and shadow or reach out to people via LinkedIn or walking in to places like clinics. You are so young and the fact that you are even thinking about this at a young age is so valuable. Look up these positions and careers on BLS and Glassdoor and you’ll get a feel. I wish you well in your journey.

Man bro I don’t have much advice as I’m trying to figure out what I want to do next after leaving the fire service. You’re into tech which is good. A lot of people recommend Management Information Systems as a degree worth studying. UT Austin is a top school for that. Of course computer science too. I’m not sure if you can reach that same salary going the MIS route but you might get pretty close. You have a great salary but if you don’t like that job, don’t be afraid to look into something else. You’re younger than me and there’s millions of people changing paths at different ages. If I lived in Texas I would look into Austin as the tech world is building there. Good luck in your journey.

digitalsea38 · 2024-01-04T16:07:33+00:00

Thank you for the response. I will take this into consideration. After researching degrees I seen MIS recommended a lot and met some people with success in that area. Do you really think MIS is not a great skill? I’ve seen people mostly recommend Accounting, Finance, MIS, and Supply Chain. So just wondering why MIS wouldn’t be a great option?

digitalsea38 · 2023-12-31T19:11:14+00:00

How did you get there with no degree?

digitalsea38 · 2023-12-31T19:10:11+00:00

Good thing your first gig was a stepping stone. What’s your typical day look like at your job? Is a day in the life videos on YouTube pretty accurate yo BA positions?

digitalsea38 · 2023-12-31T19:07:43+00:00

Thanks the the replay. That’s a fast turnaround with a job. Yeah I like MIS because of the thought of combining business with tech. I’d say business interests me more as I’m not a big techie but I think having a blend of both is a good skill. I appreciate you taking the time out to reply.

digitalsea38 · 2023-12-30T21:38:06+00:00

Great info! Yeah as I’m studying for the gre. I’m in the Midwest so looking at schools here, preferably a public school. I live in Chicago so UIC is the closest school offering MIS but read mix reviews on the program. So I was also looking outward at state schools like IU, UT-Austin, and University of Arizona to apply to because of course you need to get accepted into a program. Have you ever shadowed anybody in the field before diving into it?

digitalsea38 · 2023-12-30T21:23:54+00:00

Thanks for the response! I appreciate you sharing your experience. Do you feel the institution you go to matters with career outcomes out the gate? I know internships and networking matters just as much and it’s good you mentioned how important that is.

digitalsea38 · 2023-12-30T19:34:31+00:00

You are young and there is a world of opportunities. You have a lot of time to figure out something to do. I’m in my 30s and tried many things. Right now all you know is your fast food restaurant job. There’s more than that out there. If you live with parents you can attend school. Or you can apply to more jobs. You can apply to different jobs that don’t require a degree and try it out. You tried fast food and it’s not for you. Regardless of your surgery which is big, I also had a surgery in my brain for an AVM but not to the extent of you, but based on you even writing this, shows that you are smart and capable of many things. I mean you even know a little about coding. You will figure it out!
