I come from a Family, in Technology and craftsmanship were writ large. After graduating from high school, I decided to turn my back on this centuries-old tradition and studied history, philosophy and politics.
But afterwards it turned out that this was only an apparent break, because only some time after Study I ended up in database programming (to the great delight of my father, who had already given up all hope).
Amazingly enough, thanks to analytical obsessions that I have used to understand my interpersonal relationships to date, I have been able to achieve this very well.
Of course, that also had to do with the fact that I Contact for IT never quite lost: My father started working as a programmer (at the “Zuse” back then) at Thyssen in Duisburg in the mid-XNUMXs. Since he is a pioneer in IT Technology saw a future that would continue to provide jobs for decades to come, he steered me in this direction early on.
1982 / 1983 I learned my first programming language with Basic on a Commodore at school, but I decided to study for a spiritual science after the Abitur and the subsequent military service. The IT, however, I stayed in my free time and various computer generations (Atari, 386, 486) switched to my desk. Of course, I had an Internet connection very early and I was interested in the emerging web technologies.
After my studies in human sciences, I worked in various fields as a freelance journalist. The highlight was my time as an editor for local-specific themes at the then channel 10.
At the time, I was doing a series on the history and archeology of the Rhine and Moselle with a well-known archaeologist. We produced a total of nine contributions, which are in the Audience enjoyed a great response.
Unfortunately, the financial aspect wasn't enough, so I decided to use the IT potential I had acquired in my free time and use it professionally in this part of my life.
I managed to get started in the second half of 1998 at a newly founded software company that was responsible for a well-known Insurance completed projects.
I can only advise every humanities student to seize every opportunity to engage with other areas (IT, business, ect.). The professional environment for humanities scholars was not exactly rosy at the end of my studies, but times seem to have become even harder since then.
So: Not that Courage verlieren, dare to do something, be persistent and be prepared for the fact that it sometimes takes a few years for success to set in!

Hello Chrischii,
well, so against the taxpayer Germanist I have just refused here:.
Like woman Professor Meyer-Althoff said so beautifully, they are also strong in the picture Professorto blame for no other alternatives or who do not think outside the box themselves.
But my small collection should also show that humanities scholars can do more than they think - if they show some initiative.
But if you like: I look forward to more testimonials for my collection!
This is true with the humanists. It is not for nothing that there is the permanent image of the Germanist who is a taxi driver after graduation. Unfortunately, the prospects are not so rosy, a large part of the way to self-employment, usually as a freelancer or sole proprietorship. Dependent occupations are rather rare. Therefore, I can only encourage everyone to acquire more knowledge, especially in the technical field !!
