Sometimes I wish I had studied medicine. The medics save lives and stuff, meanwhile I'm like "I make computah go beep boop"
To be fair, computation can have its uses in healthcare. Though in what ways beyond purely administrative things, I'm not entirely sure. And I'm not sure how much of a career there is in it beyond sys admin type stuff.
Yeah, computers are awesome. It's just a little vent because it's harder to see exactly how I help compared to medics
Recently I made a program to generate reports for a hypothetical Socialist country. I feel like this sort of stuff could be useful in a smaller scale, but software can only act if there's people around to use it. Hopefully I'll get to help people in the future, maybe even in a hospital.
I get you. It's definitely more indirect when it is a help. But also just broader in what it can be used or. Medicine is more straightforwardly a "help other people" thing (with only the rarest cases of it being used for ill); software is more ambiguous as to the impact it has and what it gets used for. But yeah, here's hoping you find a good cause for it. The socialist country reports thing already sounds like a step in that direction!
Thanks!
I have a chicken named Sheba, which turned into Sha-bee-boo and then be-boo and she is always the last to go to bed so when I go to lock them up at night I'd say "go to bed sheba" but now it has now evolved in to me saing "Bo boo beep beep boo"
spoiler
I wish I was able to get into medicine school since that's the only line of work that pays a respectable amount of money now.
