You're forgetting about project managers, faggot

Forever alone. Best place to be given whats happening in the world.

Lawyer, doctor, finance, won't matter anymore because I'm straightwhite male between the ages of 18 and 65 and will never be listened to or respected anywhere unless people are desperate.

And when I'm old and that stack of LCD screens topple over and crushes me flat, I'll remember this post, and how much cancer it gave me.

Also project managers are fags. Your cracker jack box pmp designation doesn't mean you have a clue about what you're doing.

Pmps are engineers without degrees. I have a whole department of them and I'm constantly doing damage control because they never live in reality.

You can always call yourself a "software engineer".

A programmer is not an engineer, but "waste management executive" sounds better than garbageman.

You nerds should read up on some Eastern philosophy and inner happiness.

>>61353228
Heh heh.

On a more serious note: I have an engineering degree, but I have only worked as a programmer from the day I graduated and until today. I have never felt that I am of "lower prestige" when compared to my engineering friends who worked as engineers. Your title is not that important, unless you are the vapid/shallow sort. What is important is having a stable job, advancing your career, taking care of yourself financially/physically/etc etc. Why would any CS major be unhappy, if they have a well-paying job?

As a CS grad in his mid 30's, I agree it's a shitty career choice; not because of prestige or happiness or some other hard to measure things, but from a purely pragmatic standpoint. A doctor, lawyer or architect builds his professional position all his life. The longer he works, the higher the market values him. A programmer, on the other hand, has to constantly keep up with the ever-spinning carousel of new meme languages, frameworks, libraries and methodologies while competing against legions of fresh graduates willing to do his work for less. Then by the time he's in his 40's he'll become virtually unemployable because "he doesn't fit the corporate culture" (meaning: he's not a young, easily impressible faggot with no family or life to get back to who would pull overtime every time he's asked to).

I can assure you a 60 year old grey bearded COBOL wizard shits on everyone while writing assembly with his dick, but is also completely, absolutely, totally unemployable in today's agile-on-rails-meme-of-the-week industry. That's the point.

I realised there is no hurry for spiritual awareness or inner happiness. Most people who commit to any philosophy live in a world view bubble and create even more suffering.

Mathematician is pretty high prestige though.

These people think I'm a genius and all I do is develop software and do physics equations. And I'm not even close at the top of my department. The top ones have plenary of prestiage. They have started companies, won contracts, developed high quality research. Better than a 'doctor' in my book

getting grills isn't so much about your job as it is about your level of game. Don't be poor either

the best thing about CS is its CHEAP to learn. Use the damn internet. Thats it. To be a doctor or a lawyer you have to go through years and years or education and end up in hundresds of thousands of dollars in debt.

>>61352707
Nobody likes or respect lawyers. People who work in finance nobody likes because they're shitbags you owe money to. Doctors are becoming phased out by low level cheap patient care. Etc etc

>>61352707
Architectures are the lowest rung. They aren't even capable of engineering. Or have real world experience. Most of them have never even stepped foot inside a home depo

>>61353468
4 year infosec/sysadmin here. In process of transitioning to software dev, much more interseting imo.


Unless you're super interseted in security stuff, I wouldn't recommend it. it's mundane, boring and non rewarding

>computer science is a low prestige job
Why would I need prestige? I gain absolutely nothing with it.

>you will always be a 'nerd'
Ok.

>lawyer, doctor, finance, architecture etc are high prestige job
And...?

>unless you jackpot a startup and have millions at which point the vultures will circle around you
Leave this to entrepreneurs -- I'm far from being one.

Alright, I'll bite this one.

>lmao doctors are prestigious

Go to medical school then.

By the time they're done raping your self-esteem, free time and basic human dignity, you'll wish you were a "lowly" programmer. You'll be lucky if you even care about programming anymore. Chances are you won't give a single fuck about people by the time they're done with you. I guarantee it. You'll be the hospital's personal slave before you even graduate. Why pay a nurse when you got a student who's paying to work? Then you'll earn fuck all as you enter indentured servitude -- I mean residency. Any money you earn after goes towards paying your ridiculous loans. After about 10 years of intense memorization and regurgitation, zero free time, zero social life, super competitive tryhards, socratic pimp questions by higher ups, scut work nobody wants to do, marriage to a pager the sound of which will send chills down your spine and a literal prison they call hospital where you can't even take a piss without begging for permission, MAYBE you'll see some real money. Unless you end up in radiology, pathology or ophthalmology, you're pretty much fucked.

Prestige my ass. Want to know what medicine is like? Imagine high school-tier drama and office politics on steroids. Some of the worst, biggest asshole people alive on this planet are doctors. Dealing with these faggots every single day will take its toll on you like nothing else. It will break you. When people join medical school they think "gonna help people", by the end of it it's "gonna make a ton of money" but then they turn 50 and they're really just an overworked cuck surgeon with zero life outside of work and 150 hour work weeks, a lot of money but no free time to enjoy it and the neighbor with normal hours is banging his wife every single night.

So don't bullshit me about doctors being "prestigious" you fucking faggot. People commit suicide because of this lie.

Came here to say this. When I hear lawyer, I either think slimy jew, high-powered blood sucker, or both. Same with finance. I also don't know anyone who really holds architecture in high prestige either, really. Either they don't even care, or they hate architects because they are engineers.

>>61359524
Did you ever do anything in regards to networking by chance? I'm going into network engineering and probably sysadmin later on. Can you give me any advice on what kinds of pitfalls to avoid and any really critical things to know? My college program included programming with all of the IT and business related classes I took, but I'm also keeping an open mind about possibly broadening my skillset with more programming just in case.

You may be right, if I were independently wealthy I'd be studying philosophy instead of CS

>>61359654

No, I hate networking. It always feels like pajeet tier shit.
I always managed securty systems, scripting, forensics, SOC, and some reverse engineering.

hey guys
you can still work in medicine (or whatever your favourite industry is) and be a programmer, because they need people to design and implement medical devices and systems

you'll even gain quite a lot of domain knowledge

>>61359775
as a nurse, I think that an AI app to provide education or advices related to a chronic disease maybe be a good idea
but too busy/lazy to do it now

>>61359727
Yes. It's also extremely hard to match into. People know it's one of the best lifestyle specialties with the best pay, so they all flock to it. The result is unless you're an "exceeding expectations" tryhard gunner faggot with perfect grades and a nose so brown it's not even funny, you probably won't make it.

It's also the specialty most likely to be outsourced to indians.

I feel almost evil for doing this to them

>>61359775
That's the route I took. You have no idea how inefficient doctors are. When I get my M.D. I'm going to make some shit and hopefully not depend on medicine for the $.

>>61353612
You greatly underestimate what you need to be a doctor or lawyer. They both have mandatory educational requirements every year in order to keep their licenses, and doctors only see their pay really start to ramp up as they go through even more grueling years of study for their specialization, which at times may take even longer than their actual med school. On top of that, no doctor worth their salt will be working as an employee at 40+. You're not unsuccessful because you're a computer scientist. You're unsuccessful because you're a lazy fuck who wants to work a "safe" job as an employee without taking on more responsibility as a manager.

>Phone numbers are exchanged
>Send her a romantic text later that night and keep in touch with her but don't act intrusive or desperate
>Give her enough space and time to realize she wants to fuck me

That's literally it. The only way you'd have difficulty with this is if you're an introvert, in which case, yeah go invent something amazing. You were never meant to breed.
