SAMSAM · 03-15-2003, 02:38 PM

ok this one with poling;

Professional = "You make money doing it".

hobby = "You lose money doing it"

**Hammer** · 03-15-2003, 04:40 PM

I do it both for a living and as a hobby, so I can't choose on your poll

Vber · 03-15-2003, 05:25 PM

just as a hobby

Bajanine · 03-15-2003, 07:21 PM

I just like to tinker, I have much more to learn before I could try to make a living with my computer knowledge.

Well you can say that I am starting as a hobby, I do hope however that I end up doing it as a job. So none of them (poll options) REALLY apply for me right now. Well I am currently enrolled in college to get a degree as a something about (Engineer in Computer Systems)

So that's a start I guess.

Sang-drax · 03-15-2003, 08:34 PM

I'm a hobbyist; I haven't made much cash on programming.

drdroid · 03-15-2003, 09:59 PM

I'm a hobbiest, plan on going to college to become a cs major, becoming a professional. Though, hobbiest is the current answer.

zahid · 03-15-2003, 10:52 PM

I was responsible for other things, 3 Years ago I started to program for company as voluntary service.

I'm doing for my company as my responsibility.

Same here.

I guess I could classify as a hobbyist. But I'm in a class right now, planning to go to college and be a comp eng major. So, more of a student at the current time, until after college and working.

The same with me.

the Wookie · 03-16-2003, 11:14 AM

as a hobby now, then hoping to do a dual degree in computer science and computer engineering..

MethodMan · 03-16-2003, 11:16 AM

Right now I am doing it as a student, but do it when I have time to.

As I stated in the 1st version, I think that a majority of the people who do it as a living would do it as a hobby as well.

Been making my living from software development since 1978.
