What kind of programming are you into? Do you enjoy it?
Thanks for asking.
My strengths lay in a love of knowledge, analytics, and my inquisitive mind. I love to see how things are connected to one another and how the system(s) is laid out. I'm often a big picture kinda guy. And have a desire to help others out when I can. Something I learned about myself about a decade ago, was that I can genuinely feel excited for others when they do well. Which is kind of a hack when you're diagnosed with depression, and perhaps for my anxiety.
Digital marketing checks off all of those things. There is always something to be learned or improved, Google's search ranking criteria are changed a few times a year, so there seems to never be a dull moment in the field. And just like IT or programming, being specialized in a few things is great. So I'm looking to become an expert in SEO, Local SEO, keyword/phrase ranking, and backlink generation.
The selfish part is that I realized that nearly all of the digital marketing things were things that I would benefit from knowing since I desire to start my company sometime soon. It also benefits my plan to be able to make a few hundred dollars a month through online sales of items.
commissioned sales. for my ADHD the job can be awesome or it can really suck depending on the boss, which is why I started working for myself a few years ago
What kind of commission sales are you into? I know there are all sorts of commission sale positions out there, but I figured you were speaking as a car sales person.

I'm working part-time as a Software Engineer and I'm doing a Master's degree in Software Engineering at the same time. 😵💫
Software/Staff Engineer, as Architect and Solver. So I help design our system (from the technical side), I assist and to a degree coordinate teams, I jump in when know how or man power is needed, I rework or rebuild systems that have no clear ownership of a team, and so on. Oh and I always have an opinion no matter which (technical) topic.
