I just finished my first year for EE at 25. I honestly just want to learn. I expect discrimination due to my age in the workforce when I graduate, but don't really care at this point.

No it isn't. And if you're considering grad school you should be looking beyond cog in the wheel programming and into data science. Otherwise you're wasting time.

Except that's exactly what it is.
The software startup scene is in many ways a pretext for "bros" to start some shit hole social club. As the primary point is for these losers to have cheap bitches to screw, intelligence is not valued but rather the opposite thereof. Older people have already learned too much about reality from their life experiences so they are not young or naive enough to have around. That and younger people are more supple and impressionable... much like how pedophilia was like in ancient greece. God help you if you're female.
This is why >90% of startups fail. It's not like programming is hard or anything, it's because people don't take life seriously and wonder why things don't go their way.

Solution: don't go to grad school yet unless:
a. You want to be an acedemic
b. You want to advance the career that you already have
You do not have a career yet. Get a job and then come back to this

welcome, fellow eldars. would you care for a game of cribbage?

Nigger, most STEM fields aren't hard. Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, you name it.
The only thing remotely challenging is physics, and that pays fucking peanuts.
Programming isn't challenging. Being a GOOD programmer is.
