My impression is that you know that there's nothing "wrong with you" and that the dynamics expressed by that recruiter in part 2 explain enough (to me at least) and indicate your own awareness that there's nothing wrong with you. It sounds like you may need an outlet to vent, not necessarily "your frustrations", but maybe you need a way to outline or give a retrospective account of the past ~40 years so that you can come to terms/appreciate your journey thus far (which sounds very interesting). Start a blog or a newsletter or something and tell your story. Respectfully, I think that it would be a great opportunity for you to "give back" to the new crop of 20-something, motivated self-learners out there. In general, I think readers in the fields that you have done work in can benefit from real accounts such as the ones I'm sure you have to share. I'd like to read more from you. |

No, not really. I am that type of a person. My reason for posting on HN was to get feedback of all kinds, criticism mostly --because that's where the lessons come from. In other words, helping me understand what is wrong with me in terms of, perhaps, how I have been presenting myself and approached looking for work.

I was a mentor for our local high school robotics team (FRC) for many years (while my kids were in the team). I helped send kids to the top tech universities in the nation (including mine). That was definitely fulfilling.
Aside from that, today, I am pursuing a degree in CS with a focus on ML. Not learning much yet (waiting for higher level coursework, it's at the algorithms and data structures stage right now...which I can probably teach). I do take the time to help others though, and that's always fun.
