In business week story, I read an article, ‘Worst Jobs with the Best Pay’.
Surprisingly, IT is selected as one of the worst jobs.
1. Gastroenterologist ($269,500)
2. Podiatrist ($125,663)
3. Private Security Contractor in Iraq ($120,000)
4. IT Workers ($103,400)
5. Crop Duster Pilot ($53,8700)
6. Crime-scene Cleaner ($50,400)
I am lucky if others think IT, especially programing, as one of 3D (dirty, dangerous and difficult) Jobs. Programming (please, not coding) is exciting and fun enough to be involved in rest of life. At the time of being a middle school student, I firstly (lucky enough) met a computer in the education of gifted students at Kangbook University. As a kid, escaping from regular education in school and showing off my self to fellow students are the only pleasure, not studying a computer. I remembered that I learned how to write a program with C and later with C++. After about a year, I mastered (literally) the program and I am selected as an excellent student among talented student (yes, clapping?). There is a crystal clear reason why I became to be talented. There are no really gifted students in ‘education for gifted students.’ At that time, really exceptional students were studying in academia for defeating Olympiad.
However, the lucky event made me a thirsty learner. I could not help but admit that I don’t know anything except a little and only little logical pieces of disparaged knowledge. So, it is also hard to describe me as gifted or talented, but ambitious achiever. With that event that I was distinguished among gifted students, my life was filled with glory of pride, and continue to be like that.
