Coding as a Career Isn't Right for Me

I don't understand why this discussion is about entitlement. I thought this was the american dream? You work hard, you make something of yourself. Things go your way. Things are going well enough my way, but I'm not happy. I don't want it.

Hell, give me a lobotomy and erase my education from me. In return, absolve me of my student loans. Let me start over and try again. I can't even do that because I'm in so much debt that switching careers is not even feasible. I have to program to pay these loans. I wouldn't survive without a programmers salary, but I don't even want the money. That's the part that kills me.

I also don't understand why it ever was about entitlement. Your blog post wasn't about entitlement. I don't understand why grillvogel made the original joke about entitlement. And I was about to say that, when I read that you replied that indeed the entitlement is strong in you.

That's why this is about entitlement now. Because you said it is.
