    Question If you weren't a programmer...

    ...What would you be?

    I think I'd be a psychologist. I still think about it; leaving the IT world and going to college... If I ever found the motivation, I probably would.

    Re: If you weren't a programmer...

    Talk to hatchery folks. Fish squeezing is a pretty common term.....unless you were making some kind of crude reference, but I have a hard time contorting those words around to mean something any cruder than what I was refering to.

    People who don't drink annoy me.

    They are usually too self-satisfied for one thing. They obviously know something we don't and are too sober to let on. *******s

    Re: If you weren't a programmer...

    Well, I don't actively code for $$, (I am a student first, and a programmer second) but here are my current aspirations.

    Become a Physicist (might go to grad school for physics/comp sci)
    Join Air Force as an Officer to be a scientist, engineer, intel, or figher pilot
    Join Air force as an Enlisted and be a linguist
    Start a business


    Unfortunatly, life is just to short to want to be both a physcist/programmer and a fighter pilot because those are both intensive career fields, but I can certainly do a combintation of all of those e.g. pick one as a career, and the rest as hobbies (to some extent).
