1. Career Change at 46: Seven Kids, Zero Code, and Starting Over

1. Career Change at 46: Seven Kids, Zero Code, and Starting Over

I'm a dad of seven from Alfta in Hälsingland. At forty-six I left sales and started over as a software student — from zero.

📖 My book "25 Years to Zero" is out now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.se/dp/B0HG251RTP

In this episode of Anders Codes I walk through who I am, why I changed path, and what the first weeks of a .NET program actually feel like.

You'll hear:
– Why I left a sales career at 46 — parental leave, seven kids, and the feeling that I couldn't keep that pace forever
– How I got into Teknikhögskolan in Gävle as a reserve, and what happened when the transition study grant was denied
– The stress of being the beginner in the room, a written exam in 30 days, and why the coding community still makes it worth it

For you if you're changing careers midlife, learning to code from zero, or wondering what it actually costs to start over.
