I was soft in my earlier comment, but fine taking a rep hit. This is not the only post recently where the topic is "oh golly gee, look at the hardship I went through to get through college and the found something." It's a millennial post, and there have been many of them. Going through college is a challenge ... Having to work or be responsible during such sucks (I interned at Borland as well as worked for an astronomical research company). Post college, more than a few have to deal with life obligations that come up. Our profession certainly offers a bit of a cushion and flexibility, but we have to manage that and our obligations. I don't see someone here whining about having to support their parents due to the last downturn or the many other personal decisions made. The blog would have been better written as challenges met and overcome and left out the for lack of tact whiny bits... Yes, coming from poverty has challenges, and friends in such stretched into their late 20s to complete a degree...but perspective and awareness of the wider world is needed... Not another post about personal insecurities..
