    I’m in cybersecurity and being a heat pump technician is starting to sound very appealing. Can’t seem to convince my younger brother tho. Guess we all gotta make our mistakes before we can learn.

      I firmly believe you cant really fully articulate what a certain career feels like. You need to experience it for yourself because it subjective. Some may like it and some may not. If he were to listen to your advice, he may be left wondering; what if.

        Do it, I left IT to become a chef. The pay is less but I feel so much better about my job. Theres a huge difference doing something that actually benefits people (making good food for people was my path, it doesn’t have to be cooking specifically) rather than slaving away for a corporation’s benefit. It’s awesome when you go out and see people enjoying what you did
