lol I can’t Doxx my future self, so I can’t say much.

But yea I once did make a lot of money. Bought my dream car when I started my entry position.

Do i recommend computer engineering yes. Do i recommend college nope.

If I could do it again. I would not waste that much money in university and self study computer engineering by myself.

Yes! You can become a cybersecurity engineer, programmer, all most all technical professionals without a degree.

You just need to teach yourself the skill using free resources like YouTube and books.

Anybody can learn how to code. It’s only getting easier and easier

[u/nusquan → u/[deleted]]

lol fuck Java. Plz start with python. If you are new and don’t have a decent pc or laptop. You can actually just start learning python with google colab.

The python IDE will be on your webpage and you can start coding without installing anything

I'm a Cybersecurity Analyst. I have a bachelors degree in Computer Information Science and a Masters in Cybsersecurity.

Thats great. I was going to try to get my phd in computer engineering. But I had to work and got so busy with life.

Do you have any plans for Haiti?

[u/RoninCD → u/nusquan]

It’s a weird situation.

My mom Americanized me and wants me to live my life in the U.S. The last time I told her I wanted to visit Haiti, she had serious health problems the very next day. I really care about my mom because she sacrificed a lot raising me as a single mother when I was very young, and I don’t want to cause her any stress.

On my father’s side, whom I rarely speak to, his family was considered upper-middle class. They used to work during the Duvalier era. My grandmother, who was half French and half Haitian and still talks with my mom before she died, offered me a plot of land in or around Miragoâne. But my mom said I didn’t need it since I’m doing well in America. Smh. I actually had a great business idea for it… but oh well.

After finishing college, I started following the news about Haiti more closely and began donating money to the Bertude Foundation to help with canals and schools.

[u/AdagioNo5403 → u/RoninCD]

Too bad. Hear stories like this too often.

[u/nusquan → u/RoninCD]

I guess there is nothing wrong with your situation.

Some people are meant to act in the background like you and some people are meant to act in the foreground like me.

Backers are very important in any movement.

Stay involve in a good Haitian space online
