Starting from zero at 30

5 points by Zari_shahrokhi ↗ HN
I'm almost 30.when I was 18 I lost my parents and I had to take care of my little brothers. I raised them alone, by myself. I dedicated my life to them and now they are grown ups and I am a single woman with no skils or collage degrees or careers. Is it too late to start a life or I just have to continue this miserable life!

It's never too late! Keep your head up and grab some people around you to be mentors. Pick up a few books and learn on your own. :)

Get on Udemy, stack skills, khanacademy, etc. There's so many paths you can choose to go down.

Also, get on Meetup.com and find user groups surrounding your interests. Lots of free instruction from experienced people.

It's never too late. I came from a really poor family, had to start working at 14, left my parents house at 16 due to over abuse. Had to study and work untill i finished highschool. Now, with 28, i am starting to build a career (not just working around any job you get), starting a college, relationships, friends (which i had none until now due to no time). Everything, it totally pays off quickly, since you already have a lot of "life" experience.
