Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Friends:
Computers Jobs are boring you will be stuck in an office for your entire career.
How I responded:
Well, I worked at Bose, GoPro and now Taco Bell. Those are as fun companies!!! I have worked on new cameras, editing software, awesome apple related audio products, surround sound systems, worked on some of the first bluetooth technology, and now with Taco Bell, the sky is the limit from mobile apps to the web. Whoever said computer jobs are boring never worked in one before. So this so called "advice" was as wrong as it gets.
