>>12600208Almost all of what my father has suggested me to do has been stuff completely unrelated to what I'm currently studying, like getting a summer job as a tourist guide, re-selling Chinese watches online, and repairing electrical instruments.
As you more or less said it, I do visualize myself as working as a programmer, and I understand that it is necessary to expand myself within the field rather than stick to merely learning the basics of one subject and neglecting everything else, but I find it really difficult to convince my father of this. He's told me that he regrets taking a long time getting the job he finally got after university, which is why he thinks I should try getting a variety of jobs right now rather than later on, but, going back to what I'd mentioned in my previous post (and what you agreed on too), I don't think it's good to imagine that somehow I'll get essential knowledge for something in a very narrow field just through diving for hundreds of hours into completely unrelated stuff.
