Jonny looks around, confused, his train of thought disrupted. He collects himself and stares at the teacher with a steady eye.
"I want to develop business application enterprise solutions," he says, his words becoming stronger and more confident as he speaks.
"I want to write something that will add value to the community. I want them to walk away from the computer simply because it's 5PM and that's it for another day at the office. I want to write something that will reach out to end-users, and conforms to requirement specifications. I want to write something they are reluctant to upgrade, knowing that nothing they deploy that quarter will be quite as stable, as backwards-compatible, as good. I want to write enterprise data store solution software architectures."
Silence. The class and the teacher stare at Jonny, stunned. It is the teacher's turn to be confused. Jonny blushes, feeling that something more is required. "Either that or I want to be a fireman."
