I’m now working full-time. Uni was getting a bit boring so I’m taking a year or two off to work and earn some dosh. I’m working at Enlighten Designs, my official job description is: .NET Developer. I use Microsoft Studio and program in C#. I do a bunch of other stuff, but that’s the major part. We’re a young company with everyone under 30, it’s a very cool workplace.
Hopefully I get in some sort of structure where I work, get home and blog something then do something sporty. Well that’s the plan anyway.
I’ve never had a full-time job before so this should be interesting. I’m enjoying it so far.
Just taking a year or twenty off aye? Just messing. Hope things continue to go well for ya.
Wait, I didn’t know you knew C#…
Yeah I know that it’s often very hard to go back, but I have 3 years invested into my degree with only a year and a bit to finish it off… I’m definitely going back. Also part of my accepting the job was that I’m going back to uni in a couple of years, so my employer knows.
I hadn’t touched C# or VB, but they aren’t terribly hard to pick up. C# is a cleaner C++ anyway so it makes more sense and is easy to learn. It’s just the api’s and methodologies that I have to pick up.
I’m getting great experience as well.
wow, cool stuff
I think it’s a very wise choice, check out how you like the workplace, live some real life experience…
Personally I kept on studying (economics) like a train, graduated, took a masters, then applied for doctorates in the US, got in, passed the first year then, totally burned ouy, finally realized that it was something I didn’t enjoy at all. I just went on carried by inertia, I’m really glad I found the strength to quit.
So yeah, I think it’s a great move
Cool, thanks for the support. I’m still not entirely sure it’s for the best, but I’m enjoying it and that’s all that really matters.
Currently I’m designing a database, which is fun.
