Here is some sage advise from Sam Elliot in the movie Roadhouse.
Cut it the fuck loose!
The world is full of whiners and loosers. Which are you?
look where nobody else is and go there. Then when the world wakes up you have already been there done that and have years of experience. What makes you tick? What interests you? You have stated you want to write parsers, compilers and other great software. Is that what's really bothering you? You haven't made a great piece of software and you feel that you are a failure?
I think you need to write parsers, compilers and other great software.
B students end up working for C students and A students end up going back to college to teach.
I did 13 years in the Marine Corps, Got out during the technology boom. walked into a low paying Tech support job and now making a strong 6 figures. No College, Little bit of tech schools and no certifications.
If I had stayed in until retirement I would have missed the tech boom, Missed out learning a marketable skill that I taught myself while I was in the military, and My job prepared me for working on aircraft in the heat of summer and the cold of winter. No thanks I love being an office IT tech dude.
