Don't use age as an excuse. I'm 22, and am doing what you want to be doing eventually (my story was similar to yours). That said, my work is not 100% programming, which is great.. because it means I can code in my spare time and still enjoy it. Coding 100% of the time would mean I'd choose other pursuits away from work instead. I was never a good marketer, but I realized I had to learn how to be good at marketing, and good at selling myself, if I ever wanted this to work out. So I've read a lot of books, done a lot of practice, trained, and now I sell myself all the time.. the reward is in the clients you gain. I was once in the position you are now, a good job, nice pay, but I felt the same as you, and so I broke out.. it's important to remain positive, and to be *totally* open to new idea. If you gotta go learn how to hawk your wares like a salesman, you gotta go learn it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
