  2. I heard it this way: Don't chase the money... Let the money chase you. That's hard for most young people because they don't know what they're good at yet, so they have to make arbitrary choices. I "majored" in programming because there were lots of jobs in programming. "Wrong reason". You should find something that you are COMPETITIVE at, and it helps when you like what you're doing. If you're just doing it for the money, chances are you're not going to survive the competition (sorry, but that's the real world, that's Darwin in the workplace; if you have a manager that cuts you slack, or a work situation that's more like a work-at-home sole-proprietorship, then you might be alright). Professional (get paid for it) vs. amateurs (yes, I can do this, but casually, not competitively.)

  5. Not so if you're working with the MVS operating system, JCL, and IMS.

  7.  @jeffreyphipps1507  I'm not hearing much about "Object Oriented Programming" here. Was that a "fad" that went away?
