Anyone else on here who never needed any career choice guidance throughout their life, but later on released they want to do something else?

I'm 26 now and never considered not doing IT as a job, I've been messing around with hosting servers from as early as 12 years old and I think I'm pretty decent at it... But I just don't find a joy in doing it as a full time job for the rest of my life. Like, enough that other hobbies in the weekend doesn't cut it anymore

Going back to college and studying another field feels like such a risk though, especially considering I've reached the part in my career where I'm in a senior position (which I worked reasonably hard for!), so it feels like I'm throwing a lot away! It's unlikely I'll get a salary close to what I'm earning now in the new field any time soon.

Is there career counselling for adults?? Like, the stuff you'd get offered at high school but for people who are already out there in the world?

Creative fields intrest me a lot, and I'd love to contribute to them, but it's not like they're doing so well at the moment considering AI and the ever tightening grip of capitalism on it.

Anyone else who has been in this position? What did you do and did it work out?

Maybe I just need to find a different company to work for and see if that works out, but I'm starting to wonder if the field itself is just not something I'm enjoying...

I want to #work with [you] people in the #Fediverse !
Translating your articles, #proofreading your #writing, doing #research for your video essay on a 20th century philosophical school, teach you one or two #languages, doing admin for your educational non-profit, exchanging broader knowledge around politics, humanities, literature, helping sell you woodcarving art pieces...
but above all I want to make #art and creative things with you.

I run out of options and ressources to find "normal" work IRL where I live, or escaping to study in Europe,
and it is in part because I had already started being too influenced by people on here to be able to continue accepting the dire conditions offered in my immediate environment,
but also, I joined here because I did not really belong in said environment already.
so the thing is, I can only do the things listed remotely, online, for now.

Anyone interested?
