<p>No love for materials engineers, as usual. :(</p>
<p>I went with materials since I really like chemistry and physics, working with my hands, and producing a tangible product. I enjoy programming as a bit of a hobby, but I couldn’t spend 8+ hours a day on it every day for the rest of my life. I’m willing to write stuff in C++ or VB to perform calculations, manipulate data, or run simple simulations, but at most those should be one week projects. As it wears on longer than that I get really sick of staring at code and hating my life.</p>
