The past two weeks I've been working through a software engineering 'bootcamp' (which ends around October), and I was just asked if I would be interested in the bootcamp's "fellowship" program, which is a mentor/tutoring program they have set up for graduates.

"It's not just about technical skill (which you have in spades), it's about being a good communicator and teacher. Folks love working with you"

I originally went into this feeling generally confident regarding my ability to complete it and get a job, as per capitalism's whim, but not super passionate about any particular tech or job.

Now though? I'm *really* feeling great helping out other people and the idea of teaching even more folks.
