I chose Electronic Engineering at college, mostly because they said getting a job was easier.

After 4 years of Maths, and never ever having SEEN a lab, I kissed them goodbye and went to the freshly opened CS course.

After another 4 years of mostly bad teachers, I decided that my thirst for learning was better satisfied working.

And here I am, not (yet) successful, but knowing WAY more than any of my then college mates.
