Doesn't do me much good now, though. I've been turned down for programming jobs because they felt I "wasn't passionate enough about programming". Never mind that I've been doing it for 20 years professionally and that I've written books about it and that I started a company to do it.
I always wanted to be a teacher anyway, and now is a good time for that semi-retirement. And the job even has a "pension" (I had to look it up, too ;) ). So it all worked out.
But all you programmers in your 20s having the time of your life right now, be forewarned: you're going to have to make some changes in not too long... I honestly hope I'm wrong and people who love programming will be able to continue to do it until they retire. That's just rare these days, is all.
