I don't need a super high standard of living

2019-01-12 02:07:34 UTC  

though it would be nice to have some extra money to fund IE

2019-01-12 02:08:22 UTC  

That’s the goal. Spend enough to live, and even live well, but have the discretionary funds to leave a legacy.

2019-01-12 02:09:13 UTC  

When do you graduate? How far are you from Portland?

2019-01-12 02:09:33 UTC  

I have this year plus one more, and I'm pretty far from Portland

2019-01-12 02:10:06 UTC  

I'm in the Spokane area

2019-01-12 02:10:23 UTC  

Fair enough. I’m here to help.

2019-01-12 02:10:42 UTC  

thanks

2019-01-12 02:11:22 UTC  

NP... I’ve been in business / tech / engineering a while. If and when you have questions I’m here.

2019-01-12 02:11:41 UTC  

Going into the job market can be a shaky experience.

>I don’t need a high standard of living

You need a high salary to attract a higher quality woman.

You need a higher salary to afford 6 children with a stay-at-home mother and avoiding public schooling.

You need a higher salary to achieve financial independence and provide a stable environment for your family.

You need a high salary to give more to causes that help our people.

A high salary isn’t about indulging in luxuries, it’s about ambition and providing for others.

The Millionaire Next Door is excellent and accurate.

2019-01-13 05:36:05 UTC  

$49,000 with a comp sci degree is unacceptable. Average starting should be $60,000+. The data is easily found online.

2019-01-13 05:36:23 UTC  

ya I did find that data online

2019-01-13 05:36:28 UTC  

that's the median for my school

2019-01-13 05:39:55 UTC  

@Tanner - SC Agreed. The starting salary should be much higher, especially is a decent metro area. Cost of living in his area may be one offset to the initial starting salary.

2019-01-13 06:03:59 UTC  

Eastern Washington is super cheap cost of living

2019-01-13 06:04:03 UTC  

my rent is 470

2019-01-13 12:49:22 UTC  

Me and my bf did the math. We can pretty easily live off an 80k salary to with 5-6 kids while I stay at home. You just need to DIY everything and never buy anything new. But we’re planning on homesteading so I don’t know if that budget is applicable to you.

2019-01-17 01:16:38 UTC  

Guys, do we have any accountants who are looking for clients?

2019-01-21 22:13:36 UTC  

Tyler, you can message me if you’d like to discuss.

Does anyone know if there's any job I can get if I'm not ready for a computer science internship but want something better than fast food?

2019-02-17 00:40:26 UTC  

@Jacob why not do a paid internship or co op program in your field of study?

2019-02-17 00:40:51 UTC  

"if I'm not ready"

2019-02-17 00:41:27 UTC  

computer science *is* my field of study

2019-02-17 00:44:03 UTC  

@Jacob the world is your oyster. Lots of options out there.

2019-02-17 00:44:19 UTC  

right

2019-02-17 00:44:24 UTC  

so what are those options?

2019-02-17 00:45:21 UTC  

Your university should have a bunch of job boards with a bunch of listings.

2019-02-17 00:45:55 UTC  

@Jacob I’d pursue something related to your field of interest. Does your college offer a co op program?

2019-02-17 00:46:25 UTC  

can't say I know what that is

2019-02-17 00:46:34 UTC  

but I looked it up and nothing came up

2019-02-17 00:46:49 UTC  

so I imagine they don't

2019-02-17 00:47:56 UTC  

Paid co op programs are similar to internships, but the co op generally allows you to work one semester and then work one semester in the related field.

2019-02-17 00:48:44 UTC  

oh

2019-02-17 00:48:52 UTC  

I mean I know internships are a thing

2019-02-17 00:49:15 UTC  

but the whole problem here is that I don't have enough coursework done for an internship

2019-02-17 00:49:20 UTC  

I could be wrong, I don't know

2019-02-17 00:49:33 UTC  

but I don't actually know much yet
