Are you currently working on your dream job?
It's always sitting right here in my head, whirling around, appearing and disappearing on demand.
Most times, it seems so unreal because it's only in my imaginations. Other times, I begin to wonder if I will be able to live it or not
I won't lie to you, I am afraid, I am scared that reality will not fit into all of my imaginations. I am afraid, I may never be able to do this.
Yet, time and time again, my heart gives me hope, and encouragement. She tries to explain that I can do it and that I just need to take the necessary steps.
The necessary step needed for this seems a daunting task. I have a lot to do because I have wasted so much time going round in circles.
I wish I was born in a different place where all the facilities are readily available. Who knows, maybe, such a place doesn't even exist, it only appears in movies.
What on earth I'm I talking about? Pardon me. I am trying to tell you how my dream job feels as though it barely exists.
I have to learn basics skills and master the complicated ones too. The whole obstacle is that over here we have to learn everything from scratch.
This is because people are not yet invested in this area of my choice, they are mostly concerned about politics, oil, agriculture, education, etc. This is not a problem though, the problem here is that I can't find a suitable teacher or tutor to help me gather my dreams together
My dream is scattered around with no mentor to help me through it. The closest I have gotten to learn from someone sucks because I do not want to learn from a sad person. This human feels the whole world answers to him. And that whatever decision he made in the past, others should suffer for it
I am looking for a tutor who is enthusiastic about what he is teaching. I do not want one who is always sad, and sulking, with no connection to the outside world.
But what is my dream job though?
I don't know the name all I have in my head is a place. In this place, I see multiple networks of computers connected through servers. I am sitting in the middle pushing buttons and running codes that build or break components depending on the situation.
Connect the world through network of computers
I hear the buzz of an alarm indicating a bridge. I see the light flickering in reds, greens, and blues, signaling transmission of data and information in simple One (1) and Zero's (0).
Zero and One controls the world
I see myself wearing an ear pod or headset, communicating with the outside world, all in a single room.
The heat in this room is that of passion, not of stress or unfulfilled work experience.
I see robots walking around and doing our biddings all in favor of the humans.
I see a room that cannot be accessed by just anyone. There is a button that turns the room into a different form. One can be in the same room without knowing there are other hidden details. Details that can jeopardize a lot of things if mistakenly leaked.
I am in my head as I type this, I am hoping you are in mind too.
You see my dream job doesn't have a name, or maybe it does, I just don't know.
I want to be where the computers are, typing codes, and watching those codes work wonders around the world.
Make your dreams a reality with lines of codes I want to finish up in this room and go to the outside world looking different. I want to be in the same room with other people without them knowing I can access all of their devices with just a touch of the button.
I love being anonymous and I want to be able to do a job that provides me this lifestyle.
I know programming will hand me this dream job in a platter of gold. What I won't get in a platter of gold is the journey to this job.
Sincerely, I am not even on the track as I speak with you. I did start but placed it on hold because of certain circumstances. Yet, it is still in my head. No matter how much I want to run from it, I am stuck with it
Do you remember I said, I am scared I may not be able to live this dream? Yes. The reasons are massive, starting from the fact that my parents (mostly dad) won't understand why I have to do this.
I don't know how I will begin to explain to them why I am going to spend the next few years of my life studying something that is not viable in my country.
Currently, the programming people learn here is channel towards web designs, and that is because that's where everyone is flocking there. The internet has given us a lot and web design is popular among folks here.
I remember a few years ago while I was undergoing ICT training, someone walked into my boss's office and told him he was learning web designing.
My boss discouraged him by telling him my country will never adopt such things and that he won't be able to earn a living from it.
Fast forward to this date, you already know my boss was wrong. A lot of people are making a living off web designs and development.
Every day I wonder if that person had been discouraged by my boss and left his dream career behind. I sincerely hope he pursued it. I regret not stamping his face in my memory. If I did, I would have searched for him, and find out if he was living that dream or not.
It's not the first time my boss had discouraged certain dream jobs or careers. I think I still remember him bad-mouthing the advent of robots. This time it was in a class discussion. Right now, we are advancing towards artificial intelligence and Robotics, and robots will soon be a part of us
Do you think I will be able to have this dream job? Do you think I have what it takes to defer all odds and make this a reality? I will let you know in the next few years. All you have to hold unto now is that I will find every possible means to make it a reality.
