I didn’t know I wanted to be a web developer until I tried it out. My senior project was angular front-end and express back-end. That was my first real exposure, and I just fell in love with it.

So, my advice is to try anything that sparks your interest. My “ideal career” changed about 75 times because I kept discovering things I enjoyed doing.

On that note, when you find what you love, freaking embrace it. People are weird and judgy about all kinds of stuff, but don’t let what other people think of you dictate your life. They won’t be paying your bills. 😉
