I was good at math and science in high school and went to college for Engineering Physics because the school I got a scholarship to didn’t offer more conventional engineering degrees at the time. I ended up not liking it very much, but I finished.

Graduated in the late 2000s into an uncertain economy so I applied for and won a graduate school fellowship. I decided to study computer science. Got a PhD but all it taught me was I didn’t want to be an academic.

So I decided to start a business with a friend while I figured out what to do next with my life. Ended up growing that business for several years and sold it.

I Still didn’t know what to do with my life, but still had to work for a living so I took a co founder position from a hacker news “who’s hiring” thread. Figured I could give that a couple years while I figured out what to do next.

Lo and behold I worked there for a few years and we sold it. The purchasing company offered me a full time job so I took it until I can figure out what to do next.

I feel like eventually I’ll find my career, but I keep putting it off and stuff keeps happening so I guess I’m not in any real hurry 🤷‍♂️.
