Comments on: Astronomer/2024/10/23/astronomer/The goal of this blog is to create a long list of facts that are important, not trivia, and that are known to be true yet are either disputed by large segments of the public or highly surprising or misunderstood by many.Sun, 02 Feb 2025 06:32:21 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: thomasstigwikman/2024/10/23/astronomer/comment-page-1/#comment-1095Sat, 09 Nov 2024 22:34:43 +0000/?p=766#comment-1095In reply to Patti Aliventi.

“the misogyny and substance abuse in the music industry” That is sad but I could have guessed that. I think you would have made a great nurse. Even though the programming languages you learned are obsolete you learned programming skills you can take with you to C++, C#, etc. However, I’ve learned from former collegues that since I took retirement (early retirement) the software engineering business has become a bit nasty and very competitive so I am not sure I can recommend though.

As an adult, I realize I do not have the patience for it. There were so many fields that intrigued me. At one point I was going into radio or be a recording engineer, but that dream died with my exposure to the misogyny and substance abuse in the music industry. Now, I wish I had studied nursing or the medical fields as it would have offered much more opportunity. My degree is in computer programming, although most of the languages I learned are obsolete now.

Yes you are right. I chose engineering partially because I was concerned about too tough competition from other physicists and astronomers.

Nothing to do with treatment of women. There are a lot of brilliant minds in those fields. I’m awed by them.

Glad you were able to find it again . I do like some of those thought provoking questions.

Yes I can imagine. It is obvious that you know about science. What was it that scared you away. That women weren’t treated correctly maybe?

Yes I remember you explaining to me where they were and then I forgot and I asked another person, but now I will remember where they are. I will skip the goofy questions.
