>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?
Tyler, you can message me if you’d like to discuss.
@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?
@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
@Jacob If there is a particular company or tech firm in your city that interests you, I suggest talking with the HR people. There may be entry level things to do and flexibility in hours. You’ll also have the opportunity to get a feel for corporate culture.
well, there's not much at all in my city
I'll probably have to go back to the Seattle area
if I want an internship
but that's a whole different issue
I guess I could just check with different companies and see if they have something really entry level
@Jacob Finding an entry level position shouldn’t be difficult. I suggest finding a company and an entry level position that is strategic to your future goals. In my opinion...
internships seem to usually require a lot of knowledge
but I might be wrong
maybe they just don't post the easy ones
