Hobbyist programmer with business degrees doing data modeling and analytics. Seriously considering going programming full time.

To all the security guards in this thread, I know that feel. Did that on graveyard for a whole semester, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Why would anyone want to be a programmer?? It pays less than just about any other job that requires a college degree, your career has a best before date no longer than that of a professional athlete, you'll spend your professional life exclusively working in an all young-white-male environment and unless you're one of the ~0.1% of programmers working on something more exciting than payroll or websites, you have a social status only barely above the unemployed.

But you get to turn your favorite hobby into a profession you say? Well, that was a smart move. Now what are you going to do in your spare time? More programming?

Most of the kids in my comp sci. classes were Asian (and most of them were Indian). The same goes for a lot of the IT professionals and programmers I work with. Also we all get paid well over the average US salary for freshly graduated employees (the average was somewhere around $45,000 when I graduated in 2008). It really depends where you work and what you're doing when it comes to how much you're going to make. The job I'm currently interested in for instance pays almost three times as much as my current one and is pure programming.

I'm a pool bo- I mean man. Digging big holes, grading backyards, running plumbing, building waterfalls,pool houses, etc. Pool guys are jacks of all trades, and you all know the second part of that phrase.

Bookeeper at a home inspection firm and some sandwich shop worker for now.
If I get an accounting degree, I will join the Marine Corps for about 4-8 years after school, then find a civvy job.
If I decide on a CS degree, either Navy or Marine Corps for 4-8 years then find a civvy job in that area.
Rough transition period, at the moment.

Why Marine Corps? It gets respect from employers, but no offense, any of the other branches are better for a post-military career in anything other than law enforcement or security. By the way, the military isn't a great place to get accounting or computer science experience. Most career-minded people go into the military before going to college so it's paid for. Just some friendly advice from Marine infantryman who use the G.I. Bill to pay for four years of college.
