[quote name='st0neface']Nursing? What happened to programming?[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty complicated. But here's my reason to changing my profession in a nutshell:
The job prospect for anybody completing a Computer Science degree down here is shitty. That's not exactly the kind reward I had in mind for completing something that takes up so much of your time and is so damn technical. I miss it. But I had to make a practical decision. I know people that have completed their bachelors in Comp Science and haven't been able to find a job in years because they don't want to move.
EDIT: Plus, if I would've completed that degree, I would not want to be a programmer. There is a shit ton of other stuff you could do. Don't get me wrong, I mean, programming is fun, but as a hobby, on your own time and rules, not as a profession.
