"When you grow up?"

I'd like to live in a van down by the river. That would be pretty great, but I'll probably end up just getting a job and making money and stuff.

I will probably go to technical school and become an electrician, but I am only 15 so I may change my mind.

Computer/Game Programmer; I've already made a decent cut programming all sorts of crap, I have a pretty good portfolio built up.

Probably some sort of engineer. I'm kinda leaning towards mechanical.

When i grow up i want to have fun and be happy, which doesnt necessarily mean earning lots of money (to me anyway, each to their own and that)

Ive never had a clue what i wanted to do with my life until relativly recently.
Im in my first year of uni doing a BA in politics, but that has nothing to do with my life's ambitions (i just enjoy it, and at the end of the day a degree is a degree).

I want to be musician and sound engineer, or anything to do with music really. I already work part time as a sound and lighting tech already, and ive got my own recording equipment and use it regularly. Im just trying to build up a decent CV so by the time i finish uni i'll be able to find a decent PA or studio job hopefully.

and if not, hopefully i'll have a degree so i can always go out and get a "real job" if it falls on its arse

But id do all thats in power to prevent that happening.

It's easily done, i know a fair few guys who live in vans. One guy i know had a double bed and laminated flooring in the back of an old transit

was proper nice in there. He just drifts around the country meeting people have having fun.

What languages do you know? I'm guessing C/++?

I remember posting a list here a couple times before; but I've learned a few since then.

C, C++, C#, Obj-C, Win32 ASM, ARM ASM, Java/script, PERL, PHP, some Python, and VB/.NET. I can get by in a few other languages (Ruby, learning D on and off), but I generally stick to C/++ for anything related to gaming, ASM for any hardware, and Obj-C for iPhone development.

How did you learn C/++? Self taught? I can code some .net (basic stuff, but pretty good IMO), and I want to learn C/++. Could you post some tutorials you used or something? Resources?

Buy Sam's Teach Yourself C in 21 Days. It's pretty good.

I wish I could reference you to some sort of book or tutorial, but I'm self-taught.
