I graduated from high school in 2006 and was determined to study computer science when I went to college but by the time I had graduated I decided to just go with accounting because I had heard so many horror stories about how there were no jobs in tech anymore. I viewed accounting as something that might not pays much as a programmer but it would surely get me a job because every company needs accountants. Nowadays, being employed in accounting, I kinda regret it because my true passion was computer science.

In 2000 I went back to college to get my MS degree. I remember in 2001 people were begging the college to admit them because they were laid off right around the admissions cutoff.
