When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

After three months of using BASIC (my first language), I switched over to the 6502 assembly language, and starting working on a video game. The commodore 64 actually had sprite support in hardware, so it was a really cool machine to develop for.
After a few years (on and off) of doing that, I got a summer job working in Pascal ... And realized that you can actually make money doing programming. Wow! What a concept !!
The things that I learned from 6502, particularly the bit shifting, and masking stuff, I still use today. Never did finish that game.

during my Java class, I realized how much I like logically solving problems with programming.... I told my dad I wanted to get into DB applications (my major has a focus on databases... I find SQL fascinating also) that use Java and he laughed at me. He said there's no money in it, and if there was, there's no jobs. I said there's no reason why I couldn't get paid to do something I LIKE to do. I may not find a job right away, but I'll find one and be really happy.And realized that you can actually make money doing programming. Wow! What a concept !!
