I met a friend of mine today who has graduated as a doctor.
The Doctor said : I serve the sick, I cure their illness,kill their sufferings. I save lives.
I said : I sit and write sorting programs or write DB queries ??!!
What the hell?? Then,I had lots of questions squirming in my brain. Programming,is it a meaningful career to choose,does it mean anything at all,does it serve the poor,the sick,the needy. Why have my friends around me in college chosen software engineering as their career, Is it just they happen to do this because they have got bills to pay, just for those attractive pay cheques offered by multi-national companies. Do they really love what they do?

Well, I think its just blindly following... And of course the money... But with the money we (soft) engineers get, there is always room for doing some good...
I deleted that last comment, because I ran outta my head typing it, and it became like a mile long...
