Since I'm now entering my 4th and final year of college, I get asked more and more what I want to do when I graduate. I want to be a programmer. Ok, fine, most people accept that answer, even though it's extremely broad. They accept it because they aren't really that interested in what you want to do, so it seems like a reasonable answer. They only want to know _what_ you want to do, not how you do it. But then the next question is "who do you want to work for?" Honestly, I have no clue. It all depends on who's hiring, because I'll pretty much take the first offer I get. But to make things easier on myself, I rattle off a few names, companies they know: IBM, Amazon, eBay, GM, Google (although I could never in my wildest dreams work for google because they have a pretty small staff and most of them are Ph. D.'s). You wouldn't believe how much easier this makes things. It doesn't matter that I will probably never work even apply to work at Google. The point is that it makes it seem like I have some drive and some determination, and I guess maybe if other people start believing that I have determination, then maybe I will too.
