I didn't bother because this thread is on its way to turning into a flame-fest. This kid's arrogant and inflammatory, and you're biting. There's not enough information to provide any sort of remotely useful suggestion, beyond the typical useless suggestions of "do what you love" or "do what comes naturally", or some nonsense like that.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, this thread should be over, unless you want to talk more about Python, programming qualifications in general, or something else relevant. The personal comments are just unnecessary fluff. I don't see the need to teach him humility-- at least not in this forum.

Agreed. Pretty much all that can be said has been said.

..unless you want to talk more about Python, programming qualifications in general, or something else relevant.

Those sound like good topics for new threads.
