My source code printouts came back with comments like "you're obviously not smart enough to have thought of this yourself, you should document your sources".
Now I'm 35. In the real world, I'm usually not quizzed on my skills. Most interviewers don't know jack about computers let alone programming, so what good is my knowledge?
99% of the code I have ever written has been unpaid. At least unemployment was never boring.
I hate my life.
Kids: Don't learn programming as a career. It's not worth it. Learn a trade, learn how to drive a bus, do something that society actually needs.
