Hi. I am just curious how a hacker-type personality fits into a corporate
lifestyle.
I am only a student now. I have a govt. job now where i can go to school and
work part time. I can take 2 hour lunches and as the stereotypical govt.
worker goes about, work pseudo-deadline-less.
However, with discussions from the contractors we hire (from corporate
backgrounds) they inform me that i won't survive in corporate atmosphere. I
am bright though, and they know that, but my attitude is somewhat
easy-going, hacker-like, need freedom, no barriers, etc.
Any advice for me? I love learning and hate repetitive boring stuff and love
challenges and am not really sure i will, as they say, survive in a
corporate lifestyle and workstyle...
Thanks, and please feel free to reprimand me or redirect me to another NG if
this does not apply. (I plan to work in a java/programming related field).
