I got a Bachelor?s degree in computer science last year. When I went into university I genuinely wanted to do something I was interested in. I like math and programming in high school so it seemed like a good fit.
But that was then. I can?t stand the thought of ?technology? these days. I hate the idea of Facebook and ?social media?. The big reason is that I?m a loner and don?t have friends, so I can?t join anyway. But I hate the idea of putting your identity and entire life online. I hate Twitter because the 140-character limit is just stupid. I don?t have a iPhone or iPad or Blackberry, actually I no longer even have a cell phone ? largely because I don?t have anyone to call, but really, why do people need so many devices? It?s just a way for companies to make money off people buying stuff.
I saw an article on Yahoo today where a woman says 100% of all men she dates loves ?technology? and gets the latest gadgets. Guess I?m undateable? and I know less about technology than almost everyone else. There was also the article criticizing Obama for saying iPads and XBoxes are overused (I agree). But at least he has a Blackberry.
OK, I know not all jobs involve the Web. But even in my last job, I had to work on a website for a company?s internal use, basically an interface connecting to a database? but my boss worked on other projects that I wasn?t involved in which involved links to Twitter and all that stuff. The thing is, since I lost the job I?m NOT advancing myself and getting myself ?up to date? with technology/programming, I?m quickly losing whatever skills I once had.
Do you think I should start my career all over again? Don?t say ?do what you?re interested in? because I don?t know what else I?m interested in. I already did online personality tests and it usually lists CS/IT as one of them. Give me concrete suggestions. I heard someone say that I should go to grad school in CS and do something researchy? but it?s hard for me to go to grad school because I didn?t buddy with profs during my undergrad.
spyke: I understand, I don?t have a job either. But I never made you read my question.
