I am sure many of the throws of engineers have entertained this
question from many of a poster.....but here is another. I want to get a
degree in Software Engineering and am trying to figure out if it is
"right for me". I am currently and Occupational therapist and REALLY
REALLY want to get out of health care. Not cause I don't like people or
my patient's...I am just am burned out. I have always been a "people
person" and the stereotype is that is you are a software engineer that
#1 you like the cubical and could careless about socialization and don't
need people. #2 You really like math. #3 You are male. Since I am none
of these things and I am thinking of doing this as a second career I
need some mentoring.
I can Do math (i.e. I got A's and B's in school with things like
trig, calc, stats, Chem, etc.) but I do not LOVE math. So I stayed away
from anything typical science or engineering cause...well I was told I
was a people person and I should work with people.
So any personal stories as to why one decides to be a software engineer would be appreciated.
