"Nothing good will ever come of this computer thing of yours. Stop wasting time and learn something useful."
. . .
My Mom was telling me this for years.

I got the same lines from my parents for years...

And? Where are you now? Are you succesful or are yous till sitting behind your PC day in day out? You should have gotten a real job. </dad-mode>

I have never heard that. But then my parents just didnt care what I did.

Well, I am the lead developer for a full service digital agency :)

And I really love what I do!

@Codex404 I became an architect. Was / still am good at it. I love to design things.
But many things happen and some didn't happen so I decided I need a change.
Now working and learning at my first job as a junior developer.
And I love it :D
