You might be putting too much pressure on yourself to fit a particular archetype. This can lead to self doubt, anxiety, and fear. I would advise against looking at a career in tech for quick money. If you really want to get a programming job you need to put the time and effort in. You might need to start at the bottom and work your way up. Just like any other endeavor.

The average age of a college professor is around 45, and older entrepreneurs out perform younger ones in general, so I think we need to put this cognitive decline nonsense to rest.

These social media forums can be soul crushing. I would advise spending more time in self study and self reflection than reading the paranoid opinions of 20 year-olds.
