I reached the same conclusion recently. I&#x27;m about the same age, but instead of going through college to get there, I was one of the early &quot;bootcamp&quot; grads (though I took issue with my so-called bootcamp).<p>Yes, we should be glad to have these high paying jobs doing knowledge work. But there is something thoroughly dissatisfying about writing another meaningless CRUD app that spins the cogs just a little faster. More efficiently? Who knows. Besides, it probably does one of three things: ecommerce, ads, or glorified coupons. What&#x27;s the point?<p>Coding isn&#x27;t the right career for me, either. I do think it&#x27;s a useful tool, but I think I&#x27;ve got to do something else with my life. I wish you luck figuring what that something else is, as well.
