I came back to visit the high school during my freshman year of college to tell Mr. Trabocco that I had transferred from Brown to Penn State, and his reaction was an incredulous, "What is wrong with you?!" I didn't have a defense prepared. He said, "You just wrote yourself a one-way ticket to the proletariat, buddy."

Today I went to talk to a random computer science honors advisor about a career in software engineering. I told him that I was interested in computer science, specifically in being a code monkey, just sitting down at a screen and writing programs that do cool stuff, and his response was, through chuckles, "What is wrong with you?" Again, I didn't know.
Peace out.

What the hell is their problem?? Especially with the advisor- that is HIGHLY unprofessional.
I think you'd make an excellent "code monkey," but your people skills seem to prohibit that. Part time, though, sure.
And from Brown to Penn State? That's everybody's reaction, but you do what you want, so long as you're happy.
