You are focused on what your life could of been / should of been and are devaluing the true gift you have.
Get past that should of it is judgement that leads to no outcomes
Could of is an assumption that did not happen.
Your gift? Let me put it in a way that all who are in this community will read will understand. You are an engineer.
There are close to 9 billion people on the planet. There are roughly 80 million engineers. You don’t get to this level by chance but because you can, your part of the .8% of the people of the world who can build it. You don’t lose your abilities they just get rusty.
My advise to you is stop thinking about what should of or could of or if my dad was here as cold as this sounds. Instead keep pushing. Be what you are. Build something and then sell it-you are an Engineer you can do anything.
This is a great point. He has a Masters in Engineering from a US university and several years of experience in implementing "BI Reporting/Analytics", finding a decent job really shouldn't be that difficult. He is going to have to come up with a good explanation for the "what have you been doing for the last 10-15 years?" question since "caring for his ill father" seems to only cover the first year of his absence from the workforce.
