Why do people fall for the anything-but-STEM meme?
>>1993864
It's all cognitive dissonance, anon. They have think their liberal arts degree is worth something, and the only way they can believe that is by reducing the accomplishments of others.
>>1993864
Shut up OP, my Gender Studies degree is just as valid as yours
#OccupyOP
I'm stem and I hate it. My true dream is to have no job.
w2 or you're full of shit
>>1993864
going business as an undergrad was the biggest mistake of my life TBQH
>>1994379
I haven't worked a full year yet.
>working job making $90k
>have $45k liquid
>want to make riches off of meme coins but I'll just fuck it up
:/
>>1993864
I can't help but be happy for you OP.
However, I'm sure you'll soon be fired due to poor performance or replaced by the code you have written in that cut-throat industry.
>>1993864
How does your EE degree translate to high performance programming? Wouldn't a software engineer or CS be a better pick?
>>1995895
EE or CEs are usually better at low level stuff and working on projects, CS boys are just monkeys

Feels pretty good
I make 145k a year and work fully renote in a job where i basically do nothing but i still hate it and long for the day where i never have to work again.
It doesnt get better op, youll adapt to your high wage and the stress from your job will make you miserable.
Cheers

>>1996167
Haven't started yet, sorry.
>>1996270

>>1995894
>Replaced by code
This statement doesn't really make sense. The code doesn't automate the things I'm working on.
>>1996270
offer letter then faggot
>>1996314
That's so easily faked.
>>1996320
Yeah, but are you can't fake one in ten minutes, so post now or you're a faggot
>>1996328
I'm going to get fucking doxed.
>>1995881
Stay poor then.
>>1996334

> up to
kek you're fucking retarded
6 figure salary is also super basic for programmers
i make 6 figures and graduated from a not-top 100 not-state public university with a 2.7 gpa
>>1996384
That's how literally every financial firm in the world works. No risk, no reward.
>>1996385
Did you even see the next post, you retard?
Trade meme is best meme. I laugh at you suit cucks then probably go fuck your wife while i haul soil from the mcmansion going up next to yours
>>1996385
I am """eligible""" for infinite bonuses at work.
stay poorfag nigga
>>1996392
Post proof.
I showed you mine; now show me yours.
>>1996415
Sorry it took a while, I had to go back and download my transcript from my school website.
Oh, and I negotiated an extra $10k after this letter to get the 6 figure meme with no problems :^)
>>1996493
Do you actually get paid that overtime?
>>1996499
Nah.
I mostly dick around all day, there's never been a need for me to stay past 4pm.
>>1996493
>your BS degree
Hahahaha
>>1996591
What?
>>1996601
I thought an Engineering degree was considered pretty good, not a BS degree like English Literature.
>>1993864
Lel I get more than that being a JS codemonkey with a CS degree. Glad I didn't fall for the engineering meme.
>>1996779
Proof.
>>1996392
This guy is a fucking idiot.You don't work at a trading firm with potential $65k bonuses unless you're in a large city (like NYC). So basically he's making like $50k after COLing expenses with the potential to get $65k. All expenses accounted for I made more than that out of college with a CS degree. Basically this guy is LARPing as richfag when he's middle class at best.
>>1996514
How do I get your job, that sounds dreamy
>>1997247
Basically the same thing as >>1996779
Funny thing is I didn't even know JavaScript when I came in. I only learned C++ at my school.
And getting a comfy programming job is easy.
You just have to act as normie as possible during the interviews.
Most interviewers will be white guys who lead a team of Pajeets and Changs and just want ONE other normie on their team to talk to. So they'll pick the guy who can talk about [x]ball over the guy who actually knows his shit 90% of the time.
>>1994397
This. Double majored in entrepreneurship and marketing. Graduated in 08. I hate my life. what was I thinking

>>1993864
Not everyone cares about wealth idiot, some people care more about the arts
And that's totally fine
