7 Things That I Bet You Don't Know...Until You Read This

1. Your cell phone/camera/IM/facebook/tivo wouldn't work without them -- you can't say that about biologists.
2. You are almost guaranteed a job, even in today's job market -- you can't say that about stock brokers.
3. They get to choose whatever industry they want to work in as every industry needs them -- okay, you can say that about lawyers.
4. They are to business as the Navy Seals are to the military -- they just get it done; sometimes with you kicking and screaming the whole way.
5. You get to complain about their work over your coffee break in whatever job you get when you leave college -- that is unless you join them, so naturally you would still be complaining about their work over coffee.
6. They don't have to sit behind a computer all day using applications like Word and Excel -- they get to sit behind a computer all day at places like Google, Microsoft, and IBM while making a lot more money than you might expect.

What is the 7th thing, you ask? I can't tell you yet, but any computer science major or computer engineer can. Oh, and by the way -- they could really use a hug today.
