d10, not to sound like a dick, but you sound pretty smart, why are you flying helicopters for the army?

I was working towards a CS degree at one point, but it was really boring and I didn't enjoy it much. I was only working on it because I had been into programming ever since middle school when I found out I could make games on those TI-whatever graphing calculators. I ended up getting pretty good at it in high school and it was a well known fact that programming=good money, so I just went with it. When the job market fell apart I started to realize that without all that guaranteed money, programming was a pretty boring job. I always thought being a pilot would be cool, but never really considered it as an option in the past because I felt like my life had already been mapped out. That eventually led to the decision to drop out of school and join the Army to fly helicopters.
