I don't need a super high standard of living
though it would be nice to have some extra money to fund IE
That’s the goal. Spend enough to live, and even live well, but have the discretionary funds to leave a legacy.
When do you graduate? How far are you from Portland?
I have this year plus one more, and I'm pretty far from Portland
I'm in the Spokane area
Fair enough. I’m here to help.
thanks
NP... I’ve been in business / tech / engineering a while. If and when you have questions I’m here.
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.
$49,000 with a comp sci degree is unacceptable. Average starting should be $60,000+. The data is easily found online.
ya I did find that data online
that's the median for my school
@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.
Eastern Washington is super cheap cost of living
my rent is 470
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.
Guys, do we have any accountants who are looking for clients?
@ThisIsChris thx
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?
@Jacob why not do a paid internship or co op program in your field of study?
"if I'm not ready"
computer science *is* my field of study
right
so what are those options?
Your university should have a bunch of job boards with a bunch of listings.
@Jacob I’d pursue something related to your field of interest. Does your college offer a co op program?
can't say I know what that is
but I looked it up and nothing came up
so I imagine they don't
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.
oh
I mean I know internships are a thing
but the whole problem here is that I don't have enough coursework done for an internship
I could be wrong, I don't know
but I don't actually know much yet
