Title: After 10 years at my local newspaper (I&#x27;m 30 now) I think I will be facing the chopping block in the coming months. I&#x27;m nervous, scared, and somewhat excited.<p>Nervous because my whole adult life has been spent in between these walls. Scared because I don&#x27;t have a degree and at 30 I&#x27;m competing with younger, new grads. Somewhat excited because it will force me out of my comfort zone.<p>I got married in June of this year so that adds extra pressure since I am now a provider. Luckily, I dont have any kids, yet, to have to worry about.<p>I&#x27;ve spend the last decade working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and a suite of other tools.  I&#x27;ve built banner ads for advertisers, booked online campaigns in various platforms Google DFP, Yahoo APT. I&#x27;m a jack of all trades master of none. I&#x27;ve always taken that as an insult rather than a compliment. I hear it as &quot;your mediocre at a bunch of things...not really good at anything.&quot;<p>So HN, what advice do you have for a 30 year old who&#x27;s about to embark on a new adventure?
