At first I was working towards a computer science degree. But I quickly discovered I was better at economics than Java programming

high school drop out here, i have been attending community college over 3 years for a 2 year associates degree in computer network administration. i only chose this field because it was something i did before i knew there was such a ridiculously lazy job.

i dont really like school. i dont really like working for other people/company's either. in fact there is really nothing about our current civilization that i particularly enjoy. i am only hoping to save up enough money to buy land for an eco village around ann arbor and never work for anyone again.
on every job interview i lie my ass off and pretend im into making money for the company but after 90 days i become annoyed with capitalist greed and day dream of sabotaging the place.

so to the question (which i find to be completely invasive and bait for gloating) "how educated are you"
my answer: not very

after thinking on this for 3 seconds i decided that if i successfully completed anything that i was really into i may also want to gloat a bit.
the only thing i have ever really been into though is music and nature.
.. and comedy.

I feel that a lot of the time in my electronics/computing job to be honest, but it's making me a whole lot more money than my music...

I've got a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics with Music. Wouldn't be completely averse to the idea of doing a Masters in something if I had the time, not really keen on top of a full time job though. Currently a trainee telecoms consultant, it's OK.

11 years school, 2 years army, 3 years education as a computer scientist and now im working as a computer scientist/consultant since 3 years. I wanna make music every (whole) day, so if i can turn back the time for maybe 20 years (im 26) i will do everything for music. I love my job but music too :D Its nice to have the money for new equipment but i wish i had more time for music than for my work.

3rd year of an electronic and electrical engineering bachelors degree with the possibility of doing masters depending on how well this year goes.

Might attempt designing/building some guitar pedals next summer when I have the time :D

Indeed. But this is no pareto-optimal situation, let me assure you :D
