So I haven't done a proper introduction yet, so I guess I'll do that here.
I am 17 years old and I live in Sweden, I'm currently studying natural science (in 2021 I graduate and can move on to the Swedish equivalent of College/university)
Pretty much we study biology, chemistry, physics and a lot of maths. I'm in a basic programming course in school and I am trying to pick up on web development. After school, I'm considering studying programming (which is going to be another 5 years in school, however, education is free in Sweden so no major dept will be acquired except for the loan to pay for housing, food etc.)
I listen to a lot of Tai Lopez's podcasts (please comment what you guys feel about him)
I also read quite frequently and have done so for about 2 years but only recently have I really started taking it seriously
I am somewhat physically active (although recently I have seized going to the gym for various reasons. Something I am hoping to pick up on soon enough again)
Anyways, prior to what the title suggests, I'd like to see myself as an optimistic (and introverted) person most of the time but recently I have somewhat lost most of my motivation and my bright vision of what my future holds. I have no idea whether I might be depressed or not, although I've read that depressed people have a somewhat more realistic view of themselves than people who aren't necessarily depressed which is something that worries me a bit.
Why the extreme title?
To start things off, I don't feel like this all the time. I am oftent very optimistic (or I have been in the past at least)
But currently, this is actually how I feel. I don't know if what I'm working towards (web development) is a waste of time because I see everyone talking about web design specifically. So, I would appreciate some feedback. Is web development as a whole a dead and should I instead simply focus on web design? I personally feel websites are a huge potential for wealth creation and passive income (especially from what I read in TMF ) but I could seriously need some feedback on all this and help seeing the motivation I'm lacking at the moment.
Thanks
