Just for the record, I believe the OP over at StackOverflow is actually a woman. At least, I think their nick was "Wendy" when they first posted it.

I upvoted you. My apologies for the gender assumption.

It's ok! I know how easy it is to do, but in this case I happened to remember other posters on SO recommending that the OP not use their full name as their nick, since the question might pop up in a pre-job-interview Google search.

Yes, it would really be interesting to hear his experience in the following months, and how he now feels about college and his own knowledge.
