I happened to bump into a lady when I was in the bus on my way back from Wellington after spending my Easter weekend there. We clicked pretty well and we actually had quite a long chat.
She is 62 years old, and guesses what?! She is a programmer in a software house! Yes! A PROGRAMMER! You did not get me wrong! Frankly speaking, I did not expect that. Not at all! Well, I really did not expect to talk about ‘frame work’ instead of ‘house work’, and ‘reporting’ instead of ‘housekeeping’ with a granny.
She told me she was being redundant a few years back, then she took up a programming course in one of University for a year and she got her current job thereafter. I am really impressed by her experiences and her passions towards life. The saying ‘learning is a life long journey’ is so correct!
