Ask HN: In a bad spot right now in life, need advice
Do you really want to do CS?  If not, that is OK!  There is no One True Path (TM) to geek bliss.<p>Is there anything else you&#x27;d like to do?  Maybe something that&#x27;s more of a technician role, where you use tech rather than designing it?  Say, like an auto mechanic or IT administration, where you&#x27;ll be using your hands and &quot;doing&quot; rather than cranking out lines of code.<p>Also, good on ya for going to talk to a professional.  I was in a similar jam a while back and it made all the difference.
