You want to become a ProgrammiererIn (female ending), forget it, its a badly payed women job, and besides that: Men can not type! My first job was a bit more modern, instead of men writing code with pencil and women typing it in, we had women who coded, did the admin job, and typed themself. The men moved up to become system architects or database designers. We had ASCII typewriters with paper tape to type our own code. The papertape then went to the print and copy room, where it was printed and copied on magnetic tape. Compile time was rare, especially at the dayshift. So once the printout was on the table, a group of coders, all but me women, took a red pencil to fix bugs, before a job was submitted.
