I only chose college because the pressure from my family was such that I had only two "valid" choices:

1. Go to college

2. Enlist in the military

I would have preferred to have gone to a decent trade school and learned a skilled trade whose practitioners had a strong trade union to look out for their interests.

Instead, I became a developer. Glad to see kids today are learning from my mistakes and not selling themselves into indentured servitude by going to college.
