This bloody topic keeps reappearing, and the results look the same. As I (and others) have written previously, if you're capable of being successful in many fields (medicine, law, ...), why on $GOD's green earth would you pick this one??
The working conditions aren't the best, the weeks tend to run long and the tanning possibilities under fluorescent lights just isn't great. Throw in a couple examples of, umm, undersocialized folks and I know how I'd vote if I get a do-over.
- christofd 18y agoAgreed. If you aren't fascinated by the topic you are way better off going into medicine, law, business...
- lunchbox 18y agoWe'll have to disagree on this one. For instance: medicine? If you have a hard time tolerating the undersocialized folks in software, you probably won't enjoy being vomited on either. Or any of the other hundreds of perils of being in the medical field. Being a doctor might be fulfilling, but it is NOT a pleasant profession. We in the tech industry have it really good. It's very tough to find an industry with this combination of pay, flexibility, interesting work, and work/life balance.
