- Do you like to program ? you say it seems interesting, may be you
- can take a programming course at some college and go from there, see
- how you like it. Programming can be fun, but it also can be very
- frustrating at times , you need to have a certain weired
- personality for it (Since you are a psychology major, you'll be able to
- determine these quickly): if you can't sit in front of screen for long
- hours, or if you get frustrated too quickly or if you do not like
- detailes, or if you get impatient too quickly, then programming might
- not work for you, and if you want to do it for the better $$, then that
- is the wrong reason.
-
- hope this helps,
