I wanted to be a programmer a few years ago but I just couldn't put my head around it. Considering AI is becoming a thing I made the right call there.

Yep many decades ago because capatilism society dictates I must be hyper productive and do stupid shit in order to do it while I have disabilities that limit me. Wanted to make a business or side gig I guess repairing computers but doing that requires me to have loads of money in the first place. Kinda just gave up on all my dreams after attempting college and failing because it's not designed for my disabilities.
