  • Well the uni I plan to transfer to has a very low rate of acceptance for CS so I feel like I am dooming myself. If IT has a smoother track or more demand sure, but is there actually going to be this huge buildout of tech infrastructure in the United States?

    Like let me lay out how I view what makes a degree worth it, since I am still early enough that I have not fully committed to any one track.

    Likelihood of finding a transfer degree that won’t be what e/acc demons refer to as “an antisignal” » job market prospects of said degree (not based on salary but on gaining valuable experience for the following) » transferrability and competitiveness of those skills to industries abroad.

    If you become an electrician for example you have to spend a gajillion years in all these contracts and when you’re done your skills are targeted at standards in one country.

    My reasoning being that if I fail to escape Southbound Tales in Real Life then I at least have a chance of survival. It wouldn’t make a ton of sense at this point to shoot for something risky that makes a lot of money to slingshot that into a bunch of asset wealth. I hear the oil fields might be on fire soon? Last time it constituted most of the oil well fires in history, one fell swoop. Or even if you do get everything together, have a family, have a kid, what are you really setting them up for? A public school system that is increasingly being ripped apart by the Heritage Foundation? What is the solution? Vote?

    Also I guess a side thing but would you say you use IT skills in your personal hobbies at all? Because that kind of stuff is nice to have even if you fuck up your life. Then at least you have something to do while doing fuck all right






  • Dawg that is simply not what God means in this question. I failed to communicate with anyone in this thread. We’ll come back to this later after I pass this quarter, literally. I currently have literally 120% in my classes so consider yourselves all due for more confusion.

    Ah well, I don’t know what I expected. Spinoza could have been ripped apart in the streets for articulating this correctly.
