My focus is for programmers, but you can easily apply my logic to your course of study.<\/p>\n<p>If you listen to the podcast, I can understand if you might think that I have a confirmation bias because I ultimately recommend the course that I&#8217;ve taken.  I have honestly been aware of that and tried to take it into account as I formed my opinion to share on this podcast.  I not only looked at my life, but at others who took many different paths and compared the outcomes.  Over and over again, I saw a pattern emerge and that pattern is what led to what has now become episode 15 of the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>As I mention on the episode, if you disagree with me, I&#8217;d love to hear your side.  I hope that you also will try to look past only your own experience, but I&#8217;m interested in everyone&#8217;s opinion.
