Macbook pro running 10.14.6. I'm not much of a gamer and while I prefer the general control I can exert over PCs for certain aspects of my job, the Mac OS always felt more convenient when it comes to me just having fun et.
I'm not going to tell you to keep rotting at your current career/path, however I am going to say this could be a good opportunity to perhaps start your own side gig. Small projects for smaller clients, depending on the amount of free time you have. Considering you already have a job, you wouldn't be losing any money and maybe, just maybe it will blossom into it's own thing where you won't need the database admin job anymore. I say this as a 40-year-old, employed full-time in IT Consulting who's decided to finally get around to making comics and graphic novels.
