As of Today, I'm very uncertain of my Career. At least if I stay here in Italy.
I've always felt like I have excellent career prospects, but I'm just not sure that I want to be a programmer. I love programming, and I'm good at it, but it seems... unnatural. Sometimes I think that humanity has taken a disastrous turn: we've modified our environment so much, but we haven't modified ourselves to match yet. Humanity is like legacy software that implements behavior that doesn't really make sense anymore.

The question that dominates my career prospects: is life spent in front of a keyboard really "good"?
