yes that
Black washing intensifies
Trades for everyone without a 3.5 GPA and probably for everyone without a 3.8
Did you know that despite taking only 12.5% of the time a Computer Science Bachelor's Degree takes, you can make the same amount of money with a 6 month programming bootcamp as you can with a degree?
College used to be elite, now it's just status quo
I have to do this hellish mix of university and certifications
Trades are underrated and were spoken about in such a derogatory way at my HS
I was so hellbent on getting "a degree" in computer science that I went to a school where the median salary after 1 year for graduates is only $49,000
That's good, dude
Wtf are you talking about
Oof. My uni isn't the best, either, but I'm going for the best grad schools.
Since your highest level of education is only what matters
$49,000 is *really* low for computer science
Not that I have a problem making that amount of money
O
It's more than enough for me
it's just that I could have achieved the same thing by getting a few certifications instead of wasting my life in university
Gotya
It's probably cheaper tho, right
Which trades are the most accessible?
Electrical, HVAC, carpentry
Welding
Welding
But the money isn't great unless you work in the oil industry or join the pipefitters union
That's great. My dad had to get a ton of welding certifications when he first started working, and he still knows how to.
One of the worst parts about some universities is how snobby the students are. I honestly sympathize more with working class people even though I grew up upper middle class.
He works in the semiconductor industry
Pay is outstanding
Went to high school with a guy who got a welding certification and made 40/hr after hs
Is he union?
Damn. Most I've ever made is $20/hr, and that was only during the midterm elections doing outreach and statistical modeling.

Just wondering, is "damn" considered profanity by the mods here?
Trucking is underrated
Not mutually exclusive
Owner/operator can make big money and work very little, or not at all if you hire a driver
