Thread hijack, it is now all about me!
My life is not a good narrative to make my original point.
Specifically CS as in the Sciencey part of it? The best and brightest of us was supposed to go off to Bell Labs and do work writing compilers, but instead they took the one with the 4.0. I don't think I've done much with the S part of the CS. Not much call for it round here except maybe at the defense contractors.
I would like to be: the guy who designs and runs the website and supports the desktops and laptops of the 20 other people who work there. They would let me write the marketing bits of the website, because Julie? The one who is supposed to be head of marketing? She kinda sucks. I would just write everything, and they would say, oh that's perfect, just leave it like that. And they like me doing desktop support, because I'm genuinely friendly with everyone. And they all talk about me, after that day I figured out how to get all the SKU information out of the Excel and right into the eCommerce thingie. Local hero for that one, and also for when I set up an online time card web thingie that has enough Javascript that they can move numbers around until they add up to 40.
I don't know what that job title is. Is it CS? I guess it doesn't really need a degree, even. Nothing my Algorithms class covered for sure. I don't think they advertise for it. But that's what I would like to be. I would be awesome at it.
