I have a story, not related to any of these topics, but it’s still fun.
I was 8, and my mom brought home, from Kodak, a whole bunch of Cobol coding sheets. They were huge, like 14 by 20 inches, and they were blank on the back. Mom thought I’d color or draw on the back.
I flipped them right-side-up, studied them for a while, marched into the living room, and told my mom, “Mom, I’m going to be a computer programmer when I grow up.”
Mom smiled, tussled my hair a little, and said “Awww, isn’t that cute!”
Yeah well, Mom, how do you like me NOW????
That’s right. At the age of 8, I knew what my career would be.
“That’s right. At the age of 8, I knew what my career would be.”
That’s outstanding! I’m STILL trying to figure out what I want to be when (and IF) I grow up. Seriously.
So YOU created the Y2K Problem!😁
I too did COBOL programming on those 80 column punched cards. But I had the sense to quit before it warped my mind. 😁
You knew your calling.
It’s exciting to do what you love. You become an expert at it.
Someday I absolutely love what I do. Just wish I had found this field when I was younger.
