How long did it take you to learn all of that? Was your English major worth the investment?
- byoung2 17y agoI have been teaching myself programming over the past 10 years. I started doing freelance web design while in college and it's been a steady income ever since. I had a profitable internet business in college as well (a comparison shopping site with affiliate links that predated mysimon.com!). The most valuable part of college was the experience, the people I met, and the T1 connection in the dorms. Studying English taught me how to quote Shakespeare and write sentences like the last one with parallel structure. Occasionally I wax poetic about the similarities between sonnet form and object-oriented PHP.
