where they are really shoving it down people's throats
Bunch of gender/human studies majors creating a market for themselves
Create a negative PR machine and alleviate it by hiring one of the machine's members
thats all those degrees are good for
filling school positions in gender/human studies classes
and complaining about it so the topic stays relevant
Its more or less a protection racket, except instead of getting your knees/window broken you get a bunch of people protesting you
@Blackhawk342 that's got to be a start at least what you say
but fuck man it's gotten really bad , like this is the first company the law firm i am working at where we actually have a director of diversity
it is a racket like that,
You either bow/give in, or they'll try to destroy your reputation
you're a lawyer?
im like wtf ...
no I work in IT
ah
IT gets to work in almost any industry
yeah
it has to kind of,
every industry profits from the internet
and access to internet requires IT
well computers , everyone uses a computer it's a like a requirement in this day and age
Thats what im gonna do if teaching doesnt work out
@Blackhawk342 i will 🙏 for you bro teaching is something i thought about doing .... like teaching english in a foreign country cuz you can travel and not have to deal with some of the BS stuff that happens in America
It and programming. You can basically pick the company you want to work at. Any company, ant industry
It's one of the reasons I picked programming as a major. Looked at 2008 markets (which was eight when I went of to college) and was like "only industry actually growing, and everyone in existence needs some form of programmer or it pro, this seems like a good idea"
there is one caveat though with programming
lots of cheap programmers in other countries
but there is always a need for programming managers
Hey grenade, do you do front end, back end, or whatever?
programmer per se is not a be-all-end-all
What companies really want is problem solvers
Hence why they favour heavily programmers with personal working projects over university-educated programmers
True, programming really should more trade than University based.
Need more programmer apprentices
@RyeNorth yes. Although I prefer enterprise application development/ back end.
But I have at least one project that is full stack.
Thanks contro
I am not against uni courses on programming. But the degree in programming (as in many other fields) is worthless without results in some projects.
As a means to learn more uni courses are probably good. Not so much as a starting point
uni courses teach you the basics on how to program
the skill and knowledge you gotta teach yourself
There is nothing in uni that I couldn't easily learn from a like few month cert program or just on the job
exactly
like i said school teaches you just the basics
