I left my programming job in 2004 and spend the next 5-6 years studying, first a year of theology and then rest on Greek and Latin. It was probably not the best move career-wise, but it's something I had always wanted to try. I learned I'm happier coding, and that Greek is more fun as an amateur than a professional. Now I'm back in development, this time as a freelancer, and things seem to have worked out just fine. I have no regrets.
- sarisari 12y agoFor learning Greek - were you a grad student?
- pjungwir 12y agoI took two years of night classes while working, then I spent another year reading Greek texts with a friend while I took Latin night classes. Then another couple years reading on my own (overlapping with the theology year), then a postbaccalaureate year, then grad school. :-)
