Career Questions for Software Devs/Engineers

Hello,

I am a student looking into the software development/engineering field and am interested in asking currently employed devs/engineers some questions about their life. If your job even loosely relates please feel free to answer. I am just trying to get an idea here.

What are the pros and cons of your career?

If you had a do-over, what path would you take or do differently?

CS, Software Engineering, or another degree?

How stressful is your career compared to school/university?

Are you happy with your current position?

Are you happy with the outlook of your position?

How is your personal life?

How was your starting salary and are you happy with it now?

Any other advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Serious answers only please.
