You expect someone to pay a premium for your service in an area with lower living costs and lower density of qualified professionals?

Have you considered that you may be an idiot?

Means a lot coming from a wagecuck.

You first need to understand that 100k with full benefits is closer to 130k. $40 an hour with no benefits is 83k. 83/130 = 56%

This is all the math I'm willing to do for you.

Definitely not an idiot. I own 50 acres of prime land outright, and have the savings to build a good house while having a large safety net a large passive income per year.

At 31 i am doing ok.

I have a reasonably good passive income. Am debt free and will be largely self sufficient in 5 years.

This is exactly why I wont move down to Kentucky where I own land. Yea yea yea cost of living.

I make $44 an hour as a system admin in Chicago's Loop. The same job near my property, actually it would be even more stress as I would be a team of 1 instead of working in a department with support staff, would pay me at best, around $20 an hour.

Tech wages fall off sharply outside the major metro areas of the country, or cities that do not have a large tech sector. In some places, like Nebraska, Wyoming, Mississippi, and a few others, simply have no tech work at all, no matter how low paying

I can't tell if you're waving your dick or complaining. Not an interesting thread either way.

This meme is almost as overused as the suck dicks for $1 each one

That sucks, dude, I just quit a job making 80k to start a job making 120k as a data scientist.

MS in Physics. All but Dissertation. Though I'm never going back.

Spent about 2 years in management consulting being essentially being essentially the data analyst for a few different strategy initiatives for some large corporations. Learned a few tools during that time and came out with the skills everyone wants these days.

If you want to do Data Science here's what you should do (and more or less what I did):

-Know Statistical Modeling inside and out at about the level of the Andrew Ng coursera course and/or 'Introduction to Statistical Learning' by Tibshirani & Hasty.

-Learn R, Python, Hadoop, SQL, Tableau + some compiled language (Scala is hot now.)

-More important than tools: learn how to present your results to non-technical people, specifically executives

-Learn a pinch of business strategy here and there mostly so you can speak the lingo.

It's called doxxing that motherfucker and talking to him face to face with the terms you desire.
