Not really- pay is too good to quit. Boring, not enough projects, delays from everywhere under the sun. Requirements don't match expectations of finished projects, etc etc. At least there'll be other jobs, only here for 10 more months

I slogged through a 3-year Software Engineering degree in Canada (nearly as snowy & cold), but I don't think it was worth it. Getting a good job is more about timing and skill, all the best programmers dropped out of college. The goal
