Re:passionless technician

On: Wall Street's Collapse Is Computer Science's Gain

It always depresses me to see how many college students have no idea who they are, and just float about on the breeze of the moment, going for the buck instead of what they already see a passion for doing. They weren't reflecting upon their lives as a teenager, they weren't deciding what makes their hearts go faster, they were just assuming that someday their Fairy Career Mother would pop out of a cloud to tell them what they should do for the next forty years.

I realized this a year into my first job when I realized my passion was for coding/FOSS and not supporting back end ERP applications.A lot of my friends did not/still do not realize this and instead run behind the latest cool tech on the market and opportunities for going on site.
