Wow, um, I used to work as a contractor for M$ and I remember VERY CLEARLY sitting in the lobby of the Microsoft Hilltop Building in Las Colinas Texas where the receptionist has a informational plasma screen (one of the first I'd ever seen, 1996) that basically running a screen saver of funny Microsoft quotes. And I specificially remember the quote "640K ought to be enough for anybody. --Bill Gates" Scrolling by. Considering I was *IN* a Microsoft building *AS* a Microsoft contractor and saw that quote scroll by on a *M$* plasma screen along with other phunnies, I tend to disagree with the people who are now posting that we're full of shit...
ADD, ADHD, Bipolarity, whatever. I really think that people who have your problem--avoiding the work that's expected of you--all suffer from the same condition. You haven't found what you love to do. Right now you're *thinking* you want to be in the field you're studying for, because of money or friends that do it, or some other "glamorous reason".
But there's a problem. In the words of THGTTG: "The hours are good but most of the actual minutes are horrible." That's the REAL problem--when you find what you LOVE to do, you won't even be calling it WORK--you won't differentiate.

Sure beats putting them back together by hand. Could have saved alot of dumpster-diving as a teen...
