People *can* change. They just can't usually do it by force of will. If you want to be a very different person, you'll probably have to put yourself in a very different environment under very different incentives/constraints & you'll probably have to burn your ships behind you.

Context: I was desperately unhappy, I no longer wanted to work in my field of study, and an interesting opportunity in NYC (a very exciting place to me, at the time) had fallen into my lap. Life progress from there wasn't linear, but it was my first step in the right direction

I'm guessing you had a fallback plan in your case, other degrees or certified skills to put on the market. I can never tell if I'm just whining and should push through it, or if my...reluctance is a legitimate sign. One semester short...You must've had that dilemma pretty settled

Aside from my high school diploma, I didn't & don't have any other degrees/certifications. Everything I've done to earn a living has rested on self-taught skills & my ability to network. This is high risk & stressful; it's the nuclear option — but for me, a good call.
