I'm a nurse who graduated BSN in 2012 and immigrated to Ireland in 2019. I hate nursing so I quit last year and now I'm doing a degree apprenticeship in Computer Science here. Napapaisip lang ako what if I finished CS instead of BSN in 2012, nasan kaya ako ngayon? Nakapag-abroad pa rin kaya ako?
I had to quit nursing because I can't see myself doing this for 30+ more years. Parang mas gusto ko na lang mamatay. So I had to try switching.
I took a lot of career tests and Software Engineering kept coming on top. I also really think I'd love remote work. Also Software Engineers are paid way higher than nurses here. Plus di na ko matatalsikan ng kung anu-anong body fluids at di na rin masisigawan ng basically everyone in the workplace.
