That's you and me both buddy. The paranoia is always there. Which makes me really reconsider my life choices?

Like, why am I in this? Thinking in long term, considering the ageism factor, maybe it's about time I take some other approach to this whole career thing?

I’ve thought deeply about that too. The whole, if I hate practicing stupid word problems so much, why have I convinced myself to spend most of my waking hours doing this software thing?

Then again, it’s decent money and in time I do plan to do something else entirely. Hopefully I’ll have an idea or get involved early enough at a startup to move into management / less technical things?
