Then do it, whats the problem?

You do realize at the end of the day you're just pressing a couple buttons on a model someone else wrote the code for and trusting the black box results, right?


get over yourself you fucking mong. Do you have any idea how many mech e grads with a specilization in """""computational analysis methods""""" are coming into the workforce at the end of this semester alone? You are not special, unique, or significant.

The labor market is fucked if it pays people all haphazard like that

Engineering has a relatively low ceiling when it comes to salary. CS hasn't but at least in europe there are a lot of code monkeys who do shitty software developement jobs and will never make it above 60k.

I feel engineering really is a meme. Should I drop out and just switch to some finance or economics crap?

Supply and demand, be more open with skilled immigration and it will drop in the blink of an eye

Also to make 200k$ he must be in SV at a great startup or a big4 which is not so easy to get into

so then make a nuclear meltdown happen when your rival just happens to be in the vicinity of the reactor.

problem solved.

It's not what you know.

It's who you know and how you exert your knowledge.

There's a sign maker a few miles from me who is worth over $20 million. He makes signs. Some of them light up.

Yeah it blows me away how tedious and unrewarding professions like engineering and accounting are.

I know a very talented 58-year old mechanical engineer who in the last 10 years had changed jobs 8 times and never made more than $70k, whereas a Millennial dipshit friend of mine, who did political science, submitted a few essays, didn't know how to do math beyond arithmetic, and he works for some government agency in forestry, doing God knows what, making $80k with a pension plan.

Shit's fucked.

But I guess that is the cost of autism.

ME student here.
Compare where you live with the dude.
If he lives in Silicon Valley and you don't he probably makes less than you do after living expenses...

Otherwise, learn to code, build robots
