Yep, this leads me to my biggest regret as a programmer: going into engineering instead of medicine. I really should have become a doctor or some other kind of hospital worker instead: the money would have been at least as good, and I would have gotten to work in a place with lots of women.
- Grishnakh 11y agoOh yeah, I forgot another huge point: you don't have to worry much about being laid off when you work in medicine.
