At least, those jobs would be related to activities I enjoy doing in my spare time these days. 

OTOH, I'm not sure it would be a good idea, because every time I tried to "go professional" with one of my hobbies, it was the end of it, kind of...

For example

  • I studied electrical engineering/electronics, mainly because I had been doing this as a hobby for many years before (in quite a geeky fashion actually, ever since I had been a little girl — much to the bewilderment of my environment...). But then I somehow suddenly lost all interest — even before having finished my degree. And I haven't touched the field ever since.
  • So I studied psychology (something I'd always been interested in), and even worked in the field (i.e. scientific research) for some time. But then I got more interested in doing programming full time — which I already had been doing quite a lot to get my psych. experiments carried out, data evaluated, reports written, etc.
  • So I switched again, and became a programmer/software engineer — which is what I'm doing for over a decade now.  Still doing it (in part because there is Perl), but who knows...  (yes, I still do like hacking in my spare time, too, but it's no longer the same thrill it once was).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
