It might be your social cycles, or communities you are most attached to online. People around me read, write, go to cinema and watch movies with commentary, paint, play sports, build legos and doing all kind of interesting things. I personally draw and paint, am learning piano, practice photography, read, write, take various classes as a hobby and probably something else that does not appear as something special. Zero interest of changing career into any of those things, as I enjoy my long, more than 20 years, career in software, and do not see any reasons to switch fields. When I was growing up it was called being well-rounded person. My observation about some folks around who are younger than me is that there are a lot of them who are a bit more shallow and not really interested in going broad and explore things around, I can relate to it thought, as it is really hard to be dedicated in this ocean of information we have now. On the other hand I know non-trivial number of 20-25 year olds who traveled more than me, or have more hobbies or do more than one thing well and are dedicated to learning and self-development. Although, most of them are from privileged families, by at least the fact of being California based, or in extreme cases having parents that are doing really well. |
