Naalala niyo ba yung time na nilolook down ang IT?

"Saan ka mag aapply pagka graduate mo? Doon sa mga PC repair sa Mall?"
"Tagabantay lang ng computer shop"
"Magre-reformat ka lang ng PC, mag iinstall ng games, magdodownload ng music at videos pagtapos mo eh"
"Course ng mga tamad"

One of my aunties told me the exact same thing. Most of my uncles/aunties are engineers.

Nowadays, I make an effort to give an initial impression that I'm poor. I recently got a lucrative job (total net monthly salary exceeds Wise limit at current exchange rates), so I want to be low key to stay under the radar.

Yung mga Boomers na "wala kang mapapala sa profession mo" unless Engineering, Architect, Doctor or Lawyer ka, nagbago na rin ng pananaw ngayon.

I'm a college dropout but I held these nonsense titles even without a degree (except for Doctor and Lawyer). Why take a licensure exam if you can be a software architect? Hehehe!
