This is my biggest blocker to leaving software.

Anything else that interests me, STEM or non-STEM is pointless without a PhD or a decent masters program at least. I don’t even have an undergrad degree. I was more or less willing to bite the bullet until I got laid off and had to start oissing away my savings trying to find another job I hate this time with less pay less enticing benefits in a shittier market, and it doesn’t seem like it’s possible now or in retrospect. Even if I did manage it, I’d have to lose basically the rest of my life to go all in on one thing in hopes it works out.
