My major in college was Computer Science, class of 2008. I am currently pursuing my Masters Degree in Computer Science also.
I must say that I should've known long ago what I wanted to do when I was already playing around with computers in middle/high school and when I taught myself to write BASIC programming in middle school. Yet I started in Computer Engineering. Took me 1.5 years to realize that it wasn't the right aspect of programming for me.
I am now a Software Engineer, and I realize everyday that I am in the field that is perfect for me. I thank God everyday for allowing me to find such a great CAREER (especially in this day and age), but most importantly finding a career that I love doing and am actually good at.
To all young people I say take a step back and think about what it is that you truly love to do. What excites you and you find yourself getting caught up in for hours at a time without noticing the time passing.
