When I made my professional choice, I did not pick up any profession that is in "preferable" position nowadays. I am not a smuggler, nor a doctor, nor politician, and not even a reporter. Instead, I have taken a sidewalk and became a computer engineer. When translated, that means after long and hard study which I finished on time at the Electrotechnical faculty at the University of Belgrade, there is something like specialization, similar as doctors have, but here it is unofficially, hard, expensive, and lasts about five years until you get independent in your field.

I have been exercising computer engineering and electronics. Historically in the last 40 years these fields have been subjected to the enormous changes. Some other sciences, as law and economy sciences, taken just for an example and with all due respect, have not experienced such changes in their whole history. As a consequence, an average electronic engineer or computer engineer had to change hardware and software tools completely every two years or so. And to be just harder for them, even professional methodologies were changed as well.

As illustration, that would be the same as if cardio-hyrurg would change the complete method, tool, end even the basics of his work on the open heart every two years. Or as if a lawyer instead of learning particular law amendments would learn the new constitution every two years, and all new laws, as if he changed the state!

Maybe just because all these pitfalls through which my colleagues and myself have gone through, we have the particular attitude towards our profession, and there are lot of us who practice our profession also as a hobby. And that is me - among them.
