To become a plumber all you need are loose fitting pants and a big wrench.


Apprenticeship. That and vocational schools. I think that's how it's done.

The funny thing about me getting that quoted was that I was in Calc class when I did it :D

Badass. PostQuote > School.

I actually got a email this morning from a magazine out of the UK about publishing some of my works.

*looks at Dann*

That's pretty cool though. You should be proud if you're not already :)

if UW-Madison rejects me I have no backup plan whatsoever and I don't know what I'm going to do.

You can come be my bitch. Offer stands indefinitely.

I just got one of those "It's nice and impressive to see how far you've come" thoughts :)

One thing i asked myself is when figuring out what i wanted to do in my life was... "If money was as common as air, what would I like to be doing." IMO, i would rather do something I love to do and make some money, than do something I hate for a outstanding paycheck. I started wanting to set up computer networks for companies, and I realized that doing design and programming is what made me happy, it was a daily test of how smart I was, problem solving and just having fun. With this, I found a community of people that where fun, at my office, we play darts, drink beer and whiskey we go outside and play soccer in the middle of the day. It makes a difference if you want to go to work, or if you dread work. Do something for you, not anyone else, not the paycheck, not the parents, but for you.

Best post on this thread and possibly in this forum category.

You aren't just a computer engineer. You're something more.

You know, if they made a movie about me like I'm a super hero - something like spiderman or ironman - that would be the first line in the movie.

Good thing you do not need to be an intellectual or intelligent to be just a computer engineer...

Trying to have a go at me?

Computers is a huge field with a lot of different career opportunities. I knew I wanted to do one of them, I just didn't know which one.

Back to my original point though, I wouldn't have guessed this. You don't seem like a noob but you also aren't all-knowing. You ask for help and whatnot, granted, your skill level is above average to me but I just wouldn't have pegged you for that type of career. Although, to be fair, I can't think of another career you would do... You're a mystery man Killaman.

Spanky, I know what I like, I just don't know what to do for a career.
Ideally, wouldn't it be the same thing?

I also want to know how you associate a career choice with someone's maturity.
I didn't say that career choice is indicative of maturity. I said and meant that knowing what you like/want to do with your life is part of maturity.

None of that was aimed at you though. You do seem mature and not someone that is wandering around aimlessly.

It really sucks not really knowing what you want to do

This isn't a slam against you personally.

IMO, a person hasn't matured until they know what they like. People being shuffled into college just to rack up debt when they don't know what they're interested in is one of America's pitfalls.

Killaman, if you are unsure or don't know, don't waste your time. You can ALWAYS go to college. You can't make your debt disappear or get back those 2-4 years.

... so you're going to college to learn something that you don't want as a career?

You don't seem interested in computer engineering. I've not seen any interest or traits on your part.
