I mean, if
you knew all that already, you kind of wouldn't need to go there to study, would you?
What I did was I described my fantasies, of what I wanted to study, which I hoped I
would find there. At the time, I was working as a COBOL programmer. It was tedious.
Once in a while there was a fun logical challenge, but mostly I was pulling data from the
student database at a community college, and writing tedious code to format the results
in a nice report for a college administrator.
One fantasy was that I would write a program that would generate the tedious COBOL
code.
That's not what I ended up doing once I was in the grad program.
