Find what you want to do, do it. You will be happier, and you will do a better job, and then your PHB will reward you.
Never stay at a job because someone else says that it makes big money.
Life is too short.

Ideally speaking , very true.
But how many of us got into programming out of pure interest . May be a few of us did , but that would most probably be only a minority . The Java "virus" spread so rapidly that people got into programming as a default choice.
Moreover , unlike the present day , pursuiting an alternative or an unconventional career was never seen as an option when I graduated.
(5 years back) . Default was just I.T.

Well, if one picks a job for security foremost (instead of personal interest) one can't really complain about it not being interesting. (Of course, IT jobs are anything but secure.)Originally posted by Arvind Birla:
I would also add that most of us picked I.T for its 'safety' factor.
It seems that the one thing the education system really stresses is 'job security' over things like independence.

The Education system always raises us in a way to be the latter.

Absolutely - Of the people I graduated from uni with, there are a handful who managed not to end up working in IT, but only those who were really driven and motivated, preferably with a clear goal managed to achieve this. Everyone else eventually ran out of credit and needed a job... so in the early 90's in South East of England - that meant getting into IT.
..and just so we're clear here - I'm not talking about IT graduates - obviously they had no choice, but those with degrees in History, English Literature, Music, Mathematics, International Relations, Psychology etc etc - you name it, No matter what your degree discipline was in the early 90's in the UK you had to work VERY VERY hard indeed not to end up working in IT!!!
Perhaps thats why there are so many bitter, twisted, alienated 30-something software developers out there?

The word 'job' is key here. The point I was trying to make is that this is all the education allows or probably wants us to be. Employees. It never tries to teach us about owning our own business or investing on our own. It imparts us skills like math, science, history etc . All good skills to have to be a good employee, but never business skills like entrepreneurship, Investing, or other important skills like sales, leadership, negotiations etc. It seems that traditional schools will become less and less relevant to those seeking financial success in their lives. Little surprise that the High School dropout team in the Show 'The Apprentice' was called 'Net Worth'.
Basically I believe there are 2 types of people, one that fulfills his own dream and another who helps another fulfill his dreams. The Education system always raises us in a way to be the latter.

Perhaps why we are never really taught about how to become wealthy investors and entrepreneurs right from our school days but instead how to become good workers(read mules).
