Or maybe she caught it

Correction, jews had a hard time living with anybody. It's really too bad that wast he case :(

Information Technology, specifically software/web development is one of those exceptions. Most employers are going to be impressed enough if you've built a serious application on your own despite a lack luster academical performance. No matter what your transcript says, when you walk across that...

I wouldn't be so hard on yourself man. What happens if it doesn't work out? Are you going to not live that down? Again, grades are not going to make or break you after graduation. However what will determine your success is the value you deliver through the products you build. Focus on...

Any industry where knowledge work is involved.

Yes. But to add to my last post, It's not worth exchanging your sanity for cash in hopes that the experience will beef up your resume. It's not worth it. Even if he did take on a support role and did an internal move, it'll be two or three years before he could move into a development role...

You got the programming knowledge to build these type of applications. Just do it. We don't know what else to tell you.

I don't see where the conflict is here. The market for software development is super hot right now. Because of that you have a lot leverage when it comes to benefits (paid time off, lax work environment, etc.) where you can squeeze in time to work on your passions. In fact, there's a good...

I already did that when I read Marcus Aurelius

So coronavirus spawns a new generation of hypochondriacs. So what? That isn't going to stop the rest of society from living their lives

No, no it's where most women I want to date hang out.
