Comment on What happens when programmers don't want to programparent

Comments

I'm in full agreement and I've only been programming professional for about 2 1/2 years. Frankly, I'd rather work on some interdisciplinary problems like working on software related to bioinformatics. I had an interest in bioinformatics, but my university offered no undergraduate program nor any graduate studies on the matter. But right now, I'm stuck figuring out how to make flawed logic in a CRM not be so flawed without breaking the rest of the equally flawed logic that depends on it (oh joy). And I can't see any way out of my current situation. It just seems most companies are interested in easy problems they can try to patent rather than hard problems that could make them an f-ton of money.

I graduated 2 years ago from University of Memphis, and I don't know if it's still the case, but at the time they were offering free master's programs in bioinformatics for CS graduates.
