| I think you either enjoy programming and have a knack for it or you don't. I love programming so I look forward to it everyday. Learning new things, applying things you have learned, solving hard problems keep it interesting for me. Having your own side projects are a good way to learn new things and look forward to the time you have to spend on them. A CS degree and a job as a developer can lead to untold riches right now. So having a semi-relaxing job you enjoy that pays really really well (hopefully doing something you enjoy) is something to look forward to. It's also amazing what one or two developers can create, as far as their own business. From a small SaaS app that brings in $200k/yr to a small team developing something that exits for $1B. Amazing times and knowing how to develop and create is the key to that kingdom. Enjoy University while you are there, they are some of the best times. Study and prepare for the real world, keep learning new things. |
