Me @37: I'm tired of my high paid IT work, imma quit and get a PhD in plant genetics...
Me @42: fuck
?
You sound like a sure thing for bioinformatics.
I mean, the pay isn't great but it's generally six figures even without a PhD
Lol yeah... more maths, but you are correct
Me @22: Boy, IT work sure looks fun and I love computers already so let me take out some student loans to become a cybersecurity specialist!
Me @29: Retail is fine too.
Getting a degree to work in IT seems weird to me, but I was admining before IT classes existed
We're from a different era my dude. These days it's all analysts, architects and data scientist.
Who can't do jack shit without guys like you.
Except now we have to find jobs through connections because we aren’t getting past HR filters.
Architects where I work don't have degrees, they're programmers who have shown they understand a significant chunk of our enormous system (government IT)
Analysts are a mixed bag. Some have relevant education, others have relevant experience
Data scientists seem to all be appropriately degreed
Same. Sometimes I wish I had instead spent all the money I saved and blew on college on anything else. I could have lost it all gambling. I could have spent it all on strippers. Or drugs. I could have bought a helicopter and thrown fistfulls of $100 bills out the window and my money would have still been better spent.
Sitting on 18k in debt. I'd actually have a car instead of half a degree and a thumbs up from ECPI. Casino would be good too.
Yet they blame all the violence on marijuana.. What do they expect people in this situation to do, die? Fuck our broken society.
If they aren't going to make college classes less bullshit they least the could do is make them free. Whether I pass a class or not has always depended more on how reasonable they want to be about it.
If you're paying $100k just to be allowed to get a job, you should be entitled to that or a full refund regardless of anything else. Fuck everyone in charge of this joke of a society.
