If you were pivoting to a new career today, what would you do differently compared to when you started your current one, and why #Spring25?

I'm going back to school to pursue a degree in Computer Science after working as a nanny for nearly nine years. I'm curious to hear from others who’ve made a similar transition, not necessarily the same career choices
