@CaptainBohemian -- eyestrain is precisely why I don't wish to become a full-time coder

debugging can take forever ... and my eyesight feels noticeably worsened after a night of coding and debugging ...

I don't feel it's worth it

too much health risk to being a full-time programmer ...

@ff524 Would you please look at the suggested edit? Thanks.

I was talking about the high school one.

@D.Hutchinson I have never done programming since learning fortran in the first year undergraduate computer course.

so industry is not always feasible choice.

non-linear sigma models on superspheres and superprojective spaces

how about scientific computing, @CaptainBohemian?

for that, you can try and code up a nice model in Matlab or Python. I love Matlab but have never used Python, although I hear it's really great ...

and you get to use your math + physics background
