http://forum.lowyat.net/ Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:34:03 +0800 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5185688 I am 29 years old, married with one child. Education only SPM level without relevant working experiences.<br /><br />I am here trying to source for any light in my world of darkness although i know i screw up and don’t deserve pitiness. <br /><br />I was feeling suicidal frequently and started to be physical abusive toward my wife. Wife isn’t supporting enough and isn’t reliable during my tough time, even destroyed much hope of survival for me. I might also end up a single father soon without career and education. Everyday i hope that i would’nt wake up from my sleep.<br /><br />My family business had been shut down since a years ago and my dad is now a bankrupt. I spend my entire 20s playing games which made me now a introvert. I do have some basic experience in web coding, managing servers, server security as i own a private game server.<br /><br />However, i do not have passion in coding. I think it is boring and i can’t do it longterm, server security may still interest me but i am not very sure on that and I do have interest in automation machine such as those in manufacture factory.<br /><br />Luckily, i still have around 150k of savings without debt.<br /><br />I understand that i can start simple business such as hawker stall, as i do not fear hard labour. But i am a lot more interested in having a stable paycheck monthly. I also can’t do sales as i can’t speak fluently.<br /><br />The question is, if i were to go back to study, can anyone suggest some of the university courses that can help me to have high chance to secure a job, and have still have a bright career prospect at the age of 34?<br /><br />Given the fact that i wasted my 20s and the current economy situation, should i just give up the idea of studying and venture into basic business like hawker instead, since i know for a fact that most if not all the employer will just toss the resume of a 34yr freshman without working experience into the trashcan.<br /><br />Or can anyone suggest me some of alternative path that i can take at the age of 29? I am very lost here and would greatly appreciate if any of you could share some knowledge to help me.<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance Mr/Mrs. JasonObvious Serious Kopitiam Sun, 22 Aug 2021 17:51:33 +0800
