I’ve worked in SaaS tech my whole life. Been out of a job for a few months now, and while I do have debts to pay that would be much easier with a paycheck from the tech field, I wouldn’t be fulfilled with an office job.

The thing is, I’m not even sure what Id want to do yet. I’ve known my whole life that I was put here to help others, and there are so many causes out there I could work with that would help. So I think figuring that out is probably the very first step.

I’d also need to make above a certain threshold to be able to really function unless/even if I get a roommate (someone is checking my place out this month, so that might happen in January for me). Seems like figuring out what that number is between bills, rent, food, etc would be a good second step.

Beyond that, anyone else here made drastic career changes (I also don’t give a shit about having a “career”) that worked out for them like this? Would love any advice or tips! Tell me your story!

Thanks all, love you!
