Amazing article! The hometown I live is very small (250k population) and the development here is only focused on heavy industries. Here don't have any IT environment nor positive vibe on it: the people here just don't see IT/CS as a good future. I was being doubted by surrounding people when I said I wanted to study CS, even some of them were trying to discourage me, yet I got through it ultimately.

I never regret I made the choice of taking CS program, and now I'm in last semester. I don't have any plan to develop my career in my hometown so far, instead I planned to travel to bigger city that have this kind of job opportunity soon after I graduate. Perhaps someday I got enough working experience and skills, I might come back to develop my career.
