My fiancé and I want to have many kids (5+) and homeschool them until they reach Elementary school (imo) or Middle school (his choice). We want to live in a rural, tranquil environment.> What do you think about homeschooling kids in the first stages of their lives?To do so, one of us should remain at home. Due to his job, he can't, so I have to be the one to do it. I plan on doing a CS associate's degree in community college, followed by a bachelor's degree. > What career speciality would you choose? I am moving from the EU to the US (it would be easier for me to study here, but I really want to spend as much time with him as possible).> What should I take into account about the migration process?Currently, I will be visiting him and neeting for 3 months approximately. I intend to do something productive in the meantime and get more into programming.> Which online courses should I take? How do I start creating a decent GitHub? Should I start studying math? Before all this, I started an associate's degree here, but quit because it lacked compatibility with the one in the US (it's useless there) and to get a job (save money).> Should I start a side hustle? If so how do I do it?I am pretty creative and really hardworking. I feel extremely lost and confused about my career path. I even thought about being a nurse, but that is not compatible with our desired lifestyle. I wonder if I am too stupid to do this or if programming is a dead end.> Do you need to be bright to be a programmer? > Does programming have a future for juniors?Thank you for taking the time to read. I wish you the best. PD: 1) I didn't know which image to choose, and I found this frog cute. I'm sorry, it's not topic-related.2) I am 20yo. I feel like I am falling behind.
>>34383107I answer you in ATOGA but also right now nobody knows what the future of the economy is because it hinges on how AI goes.
>>34383107You're not falling behind you're only 20. Two years you've been an adult, just two years. You are naturally naive, which is normal given your age. I say naive because you think that you will have five kids and home school them. You will immediately realize just how stupendously impossible that is the minute you have your first baby. A single child is the most demanding responsibility you will ever have in your entire life, and I speak from experience. Every single night you are woken up several times to the sound of screaming, the smell of piss, and the sight of shit or puke. The baby does this every day every night for almost a year. And you want 5? And you want to be able to home school all of them? That's not happening. It could happen if you had a 'village' aka a large network of family and others in your community you are very close with who come together to help raise your children and teach them. That's how homeschooling had always been traditionally done, the parents weren't the only teachers, other close family or friends were too. You are engaged to be married and moved overseas into a country where you will not know anyone except your fiance. There will be no social village to depend on. You could try the modern "homeschooling" technique where you enlist the help of other homeschooling parents. They teach them subjects you can't, in return you teach their kids subjects they can't. Problem with this set up: it's the quickest way to have your kids molested or raped. You'd be sending them to the homes of strangers who happen to share your value for education and that's all.
>>34383296Thank you so much for taking the time to answer and for your advice. What you are saying really makes sense. Maybe I should decide on this once I am there, but I think you are right.
>>34383253Yes, you are correct about this. Thank you.
>>34383107A perennial complaint here on /adv/ is from people who were homeschooled and missed out on the essential experience of daily interacting and socializing with other kids, which left them socially crippled in adulthood.
>>34383107Your desires are gay
