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.

The only reason why I'm switching careers from 12 years being a nurse to software engineering is that I absolutely hate nursing and I think I'll hate software engineering less than nursing. But actually I think I just hate working in general. Thoughts?

I think I'll hate software engineering less because I'll be working from home or will be hybrid, I won't get splashed with bodily fluids anymore, I won't get yelled at regularly anymore, and here where I live, software engineers are paid a lot higher than nurses. But yeah I just hate spending hours of my life at work but if I had to do it, I think I wouldn't mind software engineering that much.

I quit nursing after 5 years working in Ireland. Took up a degree apprenticeship in Computer Science. I absolutely hate being a nurse and I can't see myself doing it until retirement.
