Tedd -- I've spent a LOT of time this week enumerating variables and dumping them out of $_POST arrays, and building sql strings...it's starting to seem a LITTLE monotonous...but nowhere near as monotonous as being a lawyer...!!
Which does go back to one of our (original) topics on this thread...that lawyers get more respect and money when what they do just doesn't require more brainpower than programming. (At least I think that was one of the original topics...can't remember that far back!) The bottom line is, whatever we have to do to increase the status and prestige of our profession, we have to do. The only problem is that getting a roomful of programmers to AGREE on anything has never been done before!!! :) -- Kristina PS Nuclear weapons don't interest me, but I've always wanted to build a time machine. > At 3:55 PM -0700 4/19/08, Kristina Anderson wrote: > >The only "vocational" type of education I can see myself getting is a > >law degree if I ever, in the years I have left, do decide to pursue > >that...but we'll see how this programming thing pans out! > > Most lawyers don't do much but practice the same thing over and over. > At least programming allows you to do things never done before. > > >Also -- re our classes: We had geometry and algebra and chemistry and > >bio -- but the calculus and physics were "for the boys".
