 I'm going to try to maybe cut my hours, first. The economy is so bad that it's a bad time to quit.

Might end up with an informatics degree and no job. 
 That's right. The economic situation isn’t easy. And I definitely have to earn money. I have to admit that I just love learning. If I went back to university, I would study psychology. 
 I've always had an engineering position while studying, so it's always a totally grind.

But I do remember the mass of unemployed engineers and biologists in the 1990s and the recession is just starting. 
 I come from a completely different background 🤣 I studied German, political science and sociology. And worked a lot as a freelancer during and after my studies. 
 Engineering and science has been brutal. 
 Mmmh, yes 
 Also, the trades.
They're the ones linked to heavy industry and manufacturing. 
 Oh, and farming. 🙈
