Right on! As a product manager at a technology company I bounce between pm and video game development. I realized having a game development background really helped me in my pm path as well as providing multiple options. You’ll rock it! Enjoy the journey! Also it’s never too late. I stated to learn to become a pilot at 39.

I just started over in ui/ux design and im 31 and seeing this was very affirming for me because I really put it off coz I felt I was too old. Thank you for this ❤

Friends, I see a lot of you all saying you're starting over at 30, and I am proud of you all. I am 44 starting over, and I have no shame. I stayed in a career too long for loyalty to everybody but me. So just know, as long as God gives you another day, you can make a new way! Blessings to all of us who seek a better life and path

Design school looks so fun! I've been working on my design eye through running my university club's social media, and it's definitely not something I new how to execute before I started! Knowing what looks good and knowing the how and why are two different skills, but I hope upskilling in this area can reap some benefits going forward! also highkey obsessed with the "good soup" sweatshirt. such a cute blue color!

fellow young creator here - loved this so much. i can relate to so much of what you said. starting over can be scary, but what's even scarier is staying in something you know you aren't passionate about / don't remotely care about. your videos rock! they're cinematic, hilarious, touching, and feel like a friend all at the same time. you're part of the reason i started my own channel and you inspire me every day.

I have started over several times just in different areas of my life. Marriage, kids, etc... changes things. I'm 45 and starting over with work. I had to leave teaching to stay home with my girls for health reasons. My youngest needed 24/7 care. Now, I am trying to work from home now that she's 7 and doesn't need 100% mommy time. Now it's 90% or less on good days. Starting over is wonderful because it's a whole new chapter of your life with blank pages to be filled my you.

I'm currently taking a free online course on graphic design on Coursera and last week's class was about typography! It's so cool to learn about different typefaces, their "personalities" and when to use them😍 I like geeking out about it hahah

hahahahhahahaha this is so eerie I have the same story, I'm just a tad bit younger (turning 29 this year). Had a job breakup as a PM, learning UX now and working on my first client. It is super scary because this is what you have known but I will add that having financial security is a giant help and makes the process much easier.

Interesting thing about design is how it opens your mind in new ways, keeping your creativity going is integral for growth. You could branch in some fun ways, such as human centered design which you can approach in futurist-sense with the intersection of prompt engineering concepts and processes. Prompt engineers are making up to $300k! (Wtf??) I have had my M1 Max very similar specs for 2 years (when around M1 launched). Love it - 14” and no ragrets!

design school is actually $830 for like 14 weeks! and i had it approved last year with discord as my part of our learning program, so i got it subsidized. I just didn't end up taking it until this year.

That's a lot of percents got me howling 😂 I'm actually going through my AI PM specialization right now - so I toTAHlly agree with you on being specialized and how it can be better. Except in my case, I currently lead Product DEVELOPMENT for AI & Data in the country I'm in for Accenture... I want to jump to P. MANAGEMENT and that's been like pulling TEETH man... not a lot of M-ing in the Nordics for big Tech and big 4-ishs. Can't wait for the wedding video now 🥺🫶
