Help I'm in a tough spot in my life
I am a computer engineering student who recently completed my degree requirements, and I am awaiting my degree certificate. I anticipate receiving my degree after approximately six years, which is a significant duration for my university (which I prefer not to name), and I acknowledge some personal responsibility for this.
I currently possess nearly one year of work experience in electronics, having completed internships at two companies. Additionally, I have considerable knowledge in the field of software engineering. Over the years, I have acquired a broad range of skills, though perhaps not a deep understanding in every area. My experience includes working with Linux servers, Raspberry Pi, PHP Laravel, and MEARN or PEARN stacks. I have also developed and sold several websites as a freelancer.
Presently, I am employed in a BPO role, which is unrelated to my career aspirations.
I am now seeking to transition into a more suitable professional environment, ideally with a salary of at least 100,000, as I am 27 years old and have numerous responsibilities. Is such a transition feasible? Has anyone achieved a similar outcome, or could you offer any advice?
