Well I hope my story makes you feel a bit better. When I was around 13-17 years old back in the late 90s early 2000s, I used to spend day and night coding websites. I was pretty good at it, even picked up quite a bit of php/perl/cgi and some backend database work. I did it all for fun, never thought I could make a career out of it. I was the geeky guy in my extended family and friends and just loved software in general. I picked up some C as well as I was interested in operating systems. As I was entering grade 12 here in Canada there was a lot of misinformation about tech jobs being outsourced and the dot com bubble that had bursted a few years back. There was also a lot of propaganda at our school trying to convince students to pursue professional accounting designations, so I fell for it and Accounting was my first major. Did not go well, I was miserable as far as my academics were concerned and dreaded the idea of possibly working in an accounting firm. To deal with my frustrations I played a lot of sports and switched to part time and worked as a security guard on minimum wage, in fact I still work as a security guard on the weekends at minimum wage. The only difference is that now I am pursuing CS as a second degree student, loving it so far and doing quite well academically speaking. It just just an extension of what I was doing as a 13 year old so it makes me feel more at home. I am confident I will do okay in the job market as coding is something I actually enjoy. I know the job market is quite bad for english majors and such, but if you have a passion for it then you can certainly set yourself apart and find work you will find enjoyable. Most parts of the world are desperate for good english instructors so maybe that is something you can consider?
