in reply to Career question

I'll make this short:

I've done QA and Dev. If you're talented you can do either.
Do you want to do QA, do you want to write programs that test programs to the limits, do you want to write programs to specifications? To paraphrase Calvin's quote, you only pigeon hole yourself if you let yourself be.

    Thank you all for your comments. I'll take them all to heart.

    Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. --Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)
