fvck hot takes, I need advice, and yes I coulda gone to the advice channel but people are more active here.

what would u do if u was a 20yo trying to build a life and a future.
working 5am-6pm, 6 days a week.
(but it's less busy around 12-6pm)
saving for Cloud certs and possible learning tool failure/upgrade.

I'm learning Cloud, Linux and Networking. + some python.

also recently enrolled in a tuition free online University, for Computer Science degree.

problems
it's hard to self learn everything is hard asf.
especially when u have no prior knowledge to anything, no mentor, no study group .. just Ai, free tools and resources.

what advice am I even asking for?
this is more like a vent but idk,
just share your ideas n advice.

I actually use Ai on average asking to explain details, but sometimes I just feel like I ain't even learning nothing, bcs even though I learn them and practice them, but once I move into a new thing it feels like I've forgotten the whole thing.
