But I figured that's what you meant ;-) I'm glad you liked it. Yalla, you open the coffee shop and I'll open my grocery store next to yours. LOL I was wondering about that!

As a software developer, with more than 7 years experience, I am not at the existentialism crisis (which I thought it was only happening to me so LOL apparently, it's so common it has a flow chart)... for me, it's a coffee shop :P haha Thanks sareen for the laugh and the support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Source: http://www3.sympatico.ca/shane.karen/laughs/top_10_reasons_to_date_an_engine.htm) TOP 10 REASONS TO DATE AN ENGINEER 10. The world does revolve around us... we chose the coordinate system 9. No "couple" enjoy a better "moment" 8. we know how to handle stress and strain in a relationship 7. we have significant figures 6. We have taken a course on the motion of rigid bodies 5. Projectile motion... Need we say more? 4. Engineers do it to specification 3.

TOP 10 REASONS TO DATE AN ENGINEER

10. The world does revolve around us… we chose the coordinate system
9. No “couple” enjoy a better “moment”
8. we know how to handle stress and strain in a relationship
7. we have significant figures
6. We have taken a course on the motion of rigid bodies
5. Projectile motion… Need we say more?
4. Engineers do it to specification
3. According to Newton, if two bodies interact, their forces are equal and opposite
2. we know it’s not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force
1. We know the Right Hand Rule

To answer your question, we do LOVE programming. The problem is that we have a better future abroad(I don't mean money-wise, I mean career-wise) than in Lebanon or the Arab world. By the way, love your blog :D Thanks a lot Danielle! To answer your question, we do LOVE programming.

What I meant was the diagram is not an actual representation of a flow chart (technically I mean). The content on the other hand is very REAL! Hmm I think I may have been unclear in what I wrote.

I have to share this one with all of the software developers at work...This is so true! Good thing I'm a copywriter.. haha ;) I often wonder what compels people to want to become software/web developers..Does anyone have the answer for me? HAHA this is a good one!

You end up discovering there's no gaming involved.... Just a LOT of math courses, and courses on philosophical aspects of programming (try Software Engineering courses!). 3- You graduate and a- Decide to venture into the real world, try the professional life (this is where we switch back to your flow chart) OR b- Decide to take the academic path: try out that Masters program for a couple of year, start taking Prozac because you never seem to finish! OR c- Try doing both at the same time! ... That doesn't need description... Just look how I ended! There is a small flow chart that comes before the Graduation section.
