1) I LOVED computer science school

2) I really love certain aspects of being a software engineer.

3) I have definutely said Ill kill myself if I have to sit in front of a computer for my entire life

4) this job will afford me a future where I can retire at a reasonable age. Whereas a non-computer oriented alternative (the other career available to me was house painting) will not.

Therefore I will bear the monotony of sitting in front of a computer all day for a few decades
