Don't Become a Scientist

Thu May 13 12:39:11 CDT 1999

When I started my degree in Astrophysics (1989), the department head fully expected there to be a glut of openings due to the retiring old guard. However, these people didn't retire, and if they did leave their position they weren't replaced.

Luckily, I was aware my dedication was lacking, and I segued into software development and sysadmin early.
