Title: Hello,
I am currently 22 years old, studying Computer Science. I&#x27;ve been focusing on web development for almost ten years. I&#x27;ve built up a freelance business with active clients and also tried to work as a Front-end developer for a year in small digital agency.<p>After years I am not satisfied with web development and it doesn&#x27;t make me happy. I can see really young, inexperienced people going into this business, things are changing really fast and there&#x27;s no methodology, no &quot;scientific&quot; way to do it. I can say that web development is somehow punk business with many &quot;script kids&quot; involved.<p>The second thing I don&#x27;t like about the job is lack of social contact. You spend big amount of time in front of a computer and when you want to be the best you have to spend even your free time alone. When you look at those best developers, they look kind of awkward, they don&#x27;t have communication skills and I feel like this is not the way I want to go.<p>Also the third thing that bothers me is the fact that developers are becoming new blue-collar workes (see https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;02&#x2F;programming-is-the-new-blue-collar-job&#x2F;) since it&#x27;s kind of easy to learn how to code. You also don&#x27;t need any certification or license. I see that many IT students do have this blue-collar mentality. They dress badly, they swear alot, simply they look like people from lower social classes. This is what bothers me. When I was younger I really appriciated this &quot;punk&quot; side of the IT. Now I hate it.<p>What I am thinkin about is career change to medicine. I am interested in human body and would enjoy studying it. Also medicine as a field seems to be more mature and traditional.<p>Do some of you see it similarly or do you have different opinion? What do you think about it?
