At one point in my life, I thought I'd make a career for myself as a tattoo artist. Instead, I finished my degree in Computer Science, and I am currently a full-time problem solver (and code writer). In retrospect, it would have been foolish to try to be a professional artist. Not because I am bad at art, but because it would not have made me as happy as I am now.
