He wanted to return to class full-an ideal opportunity for a long time, take an understudy credit, and afterward find an all day line of work filling in as a software engineer. This would mean he would have obtained some noteworthy obligation, not added to his retirement represents 2 years and plunged into reserve funds for everyday costs. My inquiries for him were: What sort of programming would he spend significant time in? Nobody just recruits a Java software engineer without specialization.

Things are changing so quick that abilities that are hot today can be out of date in 2 years.
