May I ask what your dream job is?

    Sure. I’m a software developer but it’s just not fulfilling for me; like I enjoy the problem solving but it’s just not something I think I would be happy still doing in a decade.

    I actually have a desire to help other people more and do something meaningful. Like teaching kids these skills, kids that don’t have an opportunity.

    And here I am, trying to change careers from teaching to IT. I guess the grass is always greener

    That’s an amazing idea. Have you looked for any local organizations or after-school programs you could connect with? Or even a local school’s tech program. I bet they’d love to have you in as a guest to do a project with the kids. My kid’s school has local experts come in to do week- or month-long projects with a class. Doesn’t solve your job dilemma but if you’re finding fulfillment outside of work it may not matter.
