I was struggling with getting a proper job training. I always wanted to be a developer but i didn't find a job. I did jobs i didn't like (like blue color jobs) and ended up in the QA department of a callcenter.

As i lost my job in the QA department and had to do outbound calls, i gathered all my courage and started a job training in a web agency (leaving a somewhat decent paid job). Turned out due to my experience as hobby dev i found my profession. Now i'm working for 7 years in the industry and won't go anywhere else soon.

It wasn't an easy decision and there were so many challenges (like financially) and everybody in my age already have found there spot but i did not regret anything. It changed my life.
