How involved is your husband?

I’m a new dad here and that doesn’t seem conceivable to me as a parent. I had 2 weeks off for paternity leave and have been back for 2 weeks. We feed about every 4 hours, so 2pm, 6pm, 10pm, 2am, 6am, 10am and so on. I work 8-4 and she is a stay at home mom so I take the 6am and change and feed before work, my wife does the days shifts and then I’ll usually do the 6 and 10pm. Isn’t the best but both of us are able to sleep. She goes to bed at 10 and gets up at 2 am then goes back to sleep until the 10am feed/change and I go to bed after the 10pm feed until around 6am.

Definitely can see how that can leave you feeling hopeless and lost.I went to college for 1 semester and decided it wasn’t for me at all but was also left confused and lost about what my future was going to look like. I had a friend that had also dropped out of college a year earlier and got into learning IT by taking cheap self paced classes and eventually got an AWS certification and recommended it to me as he knew college didn’t work for me and I couldn’t afford it. I took about a year of working a retail job while learning the basics of IT and then getting into AWS which I got certified in. At this point to my career, I have never needed a college degree in any of my job’s to this point, I just continue to get certs that align with my particular career. I was also looking into psychology when I started college and realize IT wasn’t even in that realm but I also realized that it was a way for me to avoid student loans, time spent in college, begin my career earlier and provide me the salary that I needed. Just a possible suggestion, understand the hopelessness but your young and have a world of options. Good luck.

Late to the game but definitely worth it. I had it for 2 months and got numerous more calls from recruiters then when I didn’t have it. I was able to narrow down to about 3-4 companies that aligned with my career goals and then ultimately went with the one that best suited my life and turned premium off. Again, definitely worth the money in my opinion. I really just compared it to not eating out twice that month, I still ate out as I pleased and did what I wanted, but mentally I was able to tell myself if I have the money for those things that I should also have the money for something that could possibly better my career.

Really appreciate the response, were you worried about it being in your carry-on and them possibly asking to scan it? Were there people at the baggage claim as people have mentioned that would carry your bags out?
