That was pretty obvious for me. I am asking for myself. I definitely won't work in the field, so it there any use to learn a language? Other than a hobby of course.Quote:

You can use it to automate things, and can be handy for mathematics sometimes. Matlab or something like that would probably be your best bet for math but it costs money. A lot of what it does is reading data and acting on that, if you're doing some sort of file manipulation that's fairly tedious and you do it a lot then you might want to look into it. Depending on what you want to do there might be an open source project that you could look into, all emulators that I know of are open source and Android is open source. I can't really think of much better right now, sorry. I'm pretty tired.Quote:

You can also use Unreal engine and then there's a few other ones, but Unity is what a ton of mobile games are made with. They are all free unless you are making money, unreal engine is 5% of the money you make after $3000 per quarter and unity is free until you make $100,000 from your app in a year.

Well you can always change your mind about your career and having more doors open never hurts. Being a "computer whiz" (aka, knowing how to work Office, basic cmd prompt commands, a bit of networking, etc, really basic stuff) will make you shine at any 9 to 5.Quote:

I was taught Python at university in my first year.
Python so boring...
Everyone in here is a programmer, and I though I'm special.
You guys ruin my dreams.
You must feel like me when I first got to college and I realized I was no longer the best programmer (I don't like that term, I'm not a programmer, just know how to code..) in my school.Quote:

Is that really a thing with kids these days? Like the South Park thing with Goths vs. Emos vs. Vampires?Quote:

So, you are saying you do not write some programs?
And soryz for hurtin' ya all feelings.

Yeah, I get what you mean. It's just Kemii's post made me picture her saying it with a snobbish tone, you know?Quote:
