I wouldn't like to go off the thread's topic, just expressing my opinion that I think you could successfully do that kind of jobs and that it could produce benefits on wider range of situations you might be experiencing difficulties in at the moment.RedheadDane said:No no. Just curious as to why you suggested that.

Not for me, but don't let that discourage youGigs_98 said:I finished high school (or what comes closest to a high school in Austria) this year and I'll start my 9 months of civilian service in two weeks. After that my plan is to study mathematics, but I'm not 100% sure about that yet.

I initially always assumed people would be pretty young for some reason.SHAD0W93 said:From reading the forum since 2011 I always thought most of you were quite a bit older then me.

You almost certainly will. Like, I don't know much about programming but I do know that it's great to find work with, almost as good as something like medicine.lenric said:Graduated in economics and management, had my own company for 4 years, then worked a couple of months as an advisor at PwC. Didn't quite like it. Not the work, but the ambient, which was understandably very formal. So, currently I'm a crypto currencies trader and I'm getting ready to apply for my 3rd bachelor degree. This time in computer science (yeah, I'm liking more and more programming and the ambient of the majority of the IT companies, like Xing and Google, are way more relaxed than PwC, or any of the other companies from the so-called big 4).
Will be finishing it when I'm 29/30 years-old though, I hope I can land a job on it.
Computer sciences is a shorter study as well, and you'll probably get better hours too. In medicine everything all depends on which specialisation you do, and the prestigious ones are very hard to get.Brullnux said:You almost certainly will.

Which are those, if I may ask?Red Rick said:Computer sciences is a shorter study as well, and you'll probably get better hours too.

Been a while since I talked to my buddies in med school, but I think it's mostly surgery, neurology, cardiology, internal medicine, infectious disease and microbiology.kingjr said:Which are those, if I may ask?Red Rick said:Computer sciences is a shorter study as well, and you'll probably get better hours too.

And I honestly think CS is way harder than medicine at a theoretical level.

Yeah, she's a beast, really smart and her work ethic is crazy. A Master degree in CS at the ETH is pretty impressive and gives you a ton of options.BullsFan22 said:Mayomaniac said:Yeah, a friend of mine receive a merit-based scholarship when she was studying CS at the ETH Zürich and she got a ton of offers after getting her Master degree, but she has a crazy work ethic and is driven.
Wow. ETH Zürich? Masters degree in CS? No wonder she got a ton of offers!!!
