 					as i was nearing the end of highschool, that all important question started getting asked. what's next? what do i want to do for the rest of my life? when i graduated in 2009, it was pretty apparent the american dream was dead. i saw what happened to my mom and people she worked with during the financial recession. but when you're 18 you still have an absurd feeling of invincibility, that it might somehow be different for you. my time in the field of tech wasn't all that remarkable, and really what i learned was that i should've never did something i loved for a job. my full time career was cut short at the advice of my doctor, though i may be able to work part time in the future. there are part time tech projects that pop up from time to time in my city. usually nothing fancy. something like a company that hasn't learned how to automate windows installs and needs to panic install a bunch of new copies of windows. but i think doing that part time i could live with. i feel a lot different about myself and work than i used to. sometimes i'm just happy i made it through my full time career alive. 'cause yeah, it got that bad at points

 				<h3>still in love after it all</h3>
 				<p>
 					for the very double edged sword tech has been in my life, it is still a love of mine. i find it both a blend of art and science. circuit boards resemble well laid out cities. the beautiful websites you browse express themselves though code. there's always another question you can ask, and you can dive as deep as you want to find the answer. i think because of that, part of me will always love tech, both professionally and personally
