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.

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

2019-02-17 00:51:21 UTC  

@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.

2019-02-17 00:53:01 UTC  

well, there's not much at all in my city

2019-02-17 00:53:09 UTC  

I'll probably have to go back to the Seattle area

2019-02-17 00:53:15 UTC  

if I want an internship

2019-02-17 00:53:31 UTC  

but that's a whole different issue

2019-02-17 00:53:56 UTC  

I guess I could just check with different companies and see if they have something really entry level

2019-02-17 00:55:46 UTC  

@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...

2019-02-17 00:56:59 UTC  

internships seem to usually require a lot of knowledge

2019-02-17 00:57:07 UTC  

but I might be wrong

2019-02-17 00:57:14 UTC  

maybe they just don't post the easy ones

2019-02-17 00:58:36 UTC  

Talk to your professors. Talk to the head of your Computer Science department. Start networking. Shake some hands. Ask lots of questions.

2019-02-17 00:59:08 UTC  

ya I think you're right

2019-02-17 00:59:21 UTC  

I just need to talk to advisors and stuff more
