In the past i've had some problems finishing school. So when it came to work i've always had work that didn't require any diploma. The problem with this is that i got bored really fast. So i changed jobs regularly. Until i worked at Game Mania, i had never worked for more then a year at the same company. At Game Mania i worked my way up to manager of a store and i did that for 4 years. At that point the company went bankrupt and i got back to job hopping again. After a few jobs i hit a wall and i didnt really know what to do. At my last job i was for 3 years and i was misserable for almost the entire time. Time for a change!
Why start coding now?
For the past year and a half, i have had councelling to help me get back on my feet. And what i discovered about myself really helped me progress. I got promoted at work and things were getting better. But still the work wasn't difficult for me and i was looking for a new challenge. The problem was that at my last job i did not have any time to do anything else then the job i was supposed to. The pressure was big and everyday was a struggle to get the work done in time. And at some point i decided that it was enough. I started looking for a different pad for me, one that was challenging and ever changing (to keep me from getting bored with my work). A friend of mine did the codaisseur academy a while back and i got really interested. I have no experience with coding, so i'm going into this as a blanc slate. The required assignment was really tough, but i liked what i was doing. It gave me energy. So i quit my job and enrolled to Codaisseur. And now i get to meet all of you amazing people ;)
