When I was in about 5th grade, I learned to program on it, which made a tremendous impact on my life. It enabled me to chart a course toward creating games, software applications, and business systems. I may never have done any of these things had it not been for that computer.&#8221; -Jason Todd, Founder of Thinker Profit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thinkerventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jobs.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3804\" src=\"https:\/\/thinkerventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jobs-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"jobs\" width=\"300\" height=\"94\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our daily lives are often driven by some form of software.
