saxophone primarily. i have done studies at universities and was a music major at one point but i've also randomly sent messages to musicians i've admired living in different places i've never met asking for lessons and taken trips to study with them, without the assistance of a university or school structure. i don't like the university system because it gives people the wrong idea about education (the time and place for it, the proper channels and proper information, and the value of what you've acquired). not to mention, apprenticeship and mentoring >>> schooling when it comes to a craft

I work in a hospital in finance, pay is OK, feels weird sometimes being around people sick or dying or giving birth. But you see different ppl every day, job is secure

I develop healthcare enterprise solutions, right now we are working on a project for medicare. I love what I do, as a child I always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them together in new ways. I enjoy solving problems.

However, I HATE medicare. They are essentially changing the way they pay for healthcare but are making it up as they go along. They start programs, scrap them, create more problems, create another acronymed XYZ program with vague objectives, etc. In particular I'm trying to create predictive models, but it is impossible to quantify outcomes when the variables are constantly changed on the fly.

Behavioral Health Sciences.

It was planned..either this or anthropology.

I love the study of the mind in action, understanding human behavior and helping people. Great job, great pay..no work life balance since I'm working for a hospital on call a lot but I love it.

Also was this something you went to school for or saw yourself doing in the future?

Computer Programmer.
Yes. I had dreams of being a programmer since I was 15. Even after dropping out of high school, I still knew one day I would become a programmer. I seriously cannot see myself doing anything else.

I'm completely self-taugh. No schooling.

I am also self taught but how does a self taught programmer go about getting the first job with no experience or degree?
