A coffee shop chat in Denver made me rethink my whole career switch plan
I met a former teacher who switched to tech sales, and he told me 'I spent six months and $8k on a bootcamp before I even knew if I liked the work.' It made me pause my own enrollment and actually talk to people in the field first. Anyone else have a moment that made you stop and check your assumptions before a big change?

Man that's such a good point, how many people have you talked to so far? I almost did the same thing with a trade school program once. I ended up just asking to shadow a guy for a single day and it totally changed my mind. Spending a little time in the actual environment is way better than any sales pitch.

Yeah, "sales pitch" is just code for "please ignore the smell of burnt coffee and regret.
