[nabop] coding software.

Mon Jul 16 11:39:26 UTC 2012

What do you want to do, not what they strong suggest, don't let anyone talk you into something that you really want to do.
I might also recommend, that you try for another profession, it is good profession, but no one is hiring in this field.
That is why I started my own business.
