When I finished high school I spent a few years messing around and partying before I decided to do anything. I knew that I didn't want to go to University and take 4-5 years to get a degree so I decided on taking the Computer Technology program at SAIT.
It was probably the best decision for me because it didn't have a 4-5 year commitment and it didn't cost as much as University. I was able to get work right away as a Programmer and now 9 years later I'm still developing but at a Senior Level with good pay and benefits.
I don't know why people knock Software Developers or Systems Analysts as its always consistently rated as one of the best jobs in the world. You can work in any city and in any industry with good pay and usually you don't get worked to death.
