As the title says I have been in and out of this field for more than 7 years now. I am going insane and losing my mind and soul having a headset on and waiting for that fucking beep/ring. I have been building computers for home/small business networks since my mid twenties after starting my IT career at Comcast. I am in my mid 30s getting older now, and really feeling the burn out in this IT field, just to be a machine and slave to numbers and stats. I recently graduated with my A.S. in Computer Information Technology and another cert I'll post on my resume here. I really really want to get into either web development or game development/design. My final year in college was filled with JavaScript, HTML, CSS and Python course. I made two websites and a few simple python programs between my classes. I really enjoyed this work and research. Even before this tinker on my PC or I would always mod any game I could. Now I have learned more tools for modding games like Zelda Breath of the Wild with Python based tools, and using C++ from The Witcher 3, very little knowledge just patch work. I am here asking anyone and everyone any advice on a huge lateral change from network/helpdesk/I.T. Mid Level Support to low pay internships or entry level development positions? I will be uploading my basic projects to GitHub for now.
