what's hilarious for me is i basically did my first year of compsci when i was 9 years old
so actually it wasn't a loss, that my school fucked me because i was determined to be right, and gleefully proving my stupid teacher's wrong, and stopped me getting into CS back in 1994
i was already past the second year in my actual skills anyway
and then i went to work as a freelance computer tech support guy, and i was doing well at that, but the taxes and bullshit drove me crazy and if i'd paid them i would have been unable to work at this job
yay australia, and yay socialist bullshit
