I'm 27. I want to change my trade but applying for an internship when I'm gonna be 29/30 and being there with people who are just out of college just hurt my pride, my ego. I know that it's the best option for me but I have no idea how to kill my ego. It's a problem for me because I feel worse than them and frustrated. Comparing with them while my peers are gonna be so much ahead of me.

I know that I shouldn't compare myself to my peers and the only thing that matters is my past self but I have no idea how to do it. Any tips?
