Oh no, that sounds like a tremendous mistake. If you want to write software do so as a hobby on your own terms. Don’t stop medicine to do this for a job. Success in programming for a job is more an administrative focus juggling many different competing priorities and technologies. The people best at corporate software are average at many different things as opposed to being exceptional talented in a focus area. In reverse the guy that took my tonsils out started out as a software developer and hated that work in the corporate world. He went back to school and became an ENT surgeon and is great at it. He has his own practice and is doing very well. The trick is that he realized he hated it while still in his 20s and had the balls to spend a ton of money starting over in an unrelated career. I am so envious. |
