Hello. 22M here. Majoring in Physics, 1st year. Looking for decent earning options, almost as a whole career, but I have no idea which way to go.
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I have a strong fictional imagination, basically a writer's mind. English is not my native language. But I've practiced one or two short stories in my own language.
I have created multiple plots for multiple stories. I've intentions to start writing soon on them.
Anyway, I have close to zero bit of knowledge about coding. I only know html.
I had the time to pursue further into other languages like python, C, C++, but I'm very weak in mathematics. So I didn't learn further coding. I also didn't learn much mathematics, which has put me in an almost degraded institution for honours.
My current mental state cannot focus on one thing to pursue, I don't know why. Sometimes it gets all motivated to write the story, and other times, it gets depressed thinking about how AI is taking all the jobs and I have to learn to code to battle against AI with my own AI.
So this is the overall depiction of my shattered mind and life. I also come from a lower-middle class family. So money is scarce.
I don't want to argue about my moral ethics that if I want to earn money quickly, I can do this or that over my innate talent etc.
What I want to know is, which way will first build a strong foundation of knowledge within me and will keep me going for the long run along with the money.
Because, if I have to learn to code, I also have to study mathematics, if I want to write, I also need to research for a long time before I can even layer the elements inside the story.
My laptop broke 2 years ago and I've been on my android since then. I'm going to buy either a laptop or a tablet soon.
And a tablet adds another way which is digital arts. I don't know how to draw at all. But, as I said, whichever way I choose, I'll have to spend a bit long amount of time to actually train myself to be sufficient on that path. So I have no problem getting introduced to such new ideas and paths and spending time to get along with them.
I also got stuck between the device choice. If I buy a laptop, I'll be able to learn to code and to write my stories. And if I buy a tablet, I'll be able to learn to be a digital artist and can also write my stories but no coding.
So, the way the world's economy is going, which way and which device should I go after?
You can already guess the idea that I don't particularly like Physics either. I ended up with it because of my bad result. And the reason for bad result is that, I was disinterested in mathematics prior to the exam, overall low grades summed me up in this major.
Even with full attention, full seriousness, I found myself difficult to study mathematics attentively.
I can't specifically point back to the point from where I started disliking mathematics, I only reached to the conclusion that, this problem is rooted in my psychology. I found that my brain is slow while processing mathematics and its logic. At least slower than the average.
Since I cannot opt out of my major, I'll have to eventually train my mind to mindfully learn mathematics.
I've decided that I'll give myself a bit more time to reach to a final decision.
