Sure, being a computer science engineer is for many people an intersting thing. And certainly it is. You learn how to create software, to develop web sites and webservices that are amazing things for the crowd. You interact with the computer with another manner that the one used by normal people. You are a hero for many by helping them to delete a file or by installing a software or by configuring the settings. All of this is great! But let’s look more closely to this engineer in his box office!!!!! Every day he wakes up early in the morning, drinks his coffee and starting his work. But what is the work of a computer engineer; it is to solve the problems of the others but doing it in computized way! You spend ten or more hours a day thinking of the solution of a problem and programming it whatever the language is ! You test your work and you deliver a kit of installation that contains your work! You boss validate it and then send it to the client! If the installed kit contains bugs, you will be bombed by mails from your boss and you will stress and stress… You begin to develop chronical deseases such as stomac aches and digest problems! Even when you tries to sleep you dream about lines of code!!
