yep. ive accepted it, called it a good run, put away all my fun personal projects, and started pursuing a nursing degree i can treat as a stable day job

with code all i wanted to do was code. with a nursing at least ill want to leave it at the hospital (yes nurse ptsd is real but nurse pay is great in pnw)

i think it might be good to have a job i treat as a job and not a passion i carry with me everywhere
