Interesting article.
Too bad it does not apply to me :P
In fact, during my childhood everyone tried to convince me to do stuff that I did NOT loved, because what I loved (making games) was "useless."
Here I am now being CTO of a game company. ;)
- yen223 14y agoI'm glad it's working out for you :) It's not for me. Programming has been a passion of mine all my life. I practically learnt Python all by myself, in my own time. Thing was, people have been telling me that I shouldn't do this, that nobody values tech skills, that I should focus on my 'soft' skills, that programmers in my country are doomed to be lowly-paid wage slaves. Turns out, they were right.
- speeder 14y agoI never said people where I live are wrong ;) The professions they wanted me to take still pay 3, 4 times what I am getting. That is, not counting lawyers (that is also a profession much suggested to me), then the multiplier is up to 20x or something like that. But I can pay my bills (barely... but I can).
