i work as a DBA currently, but i don't work with other programmers so they don't appreciate workload/ my own capabilities (i'm junior) - so it's not a bad role but i want to move to a role where i can learn

i can rent my own flat for £1100 a month - tho money would be tight then

2019-02-26 00:02:19 UTC  

@JDB If you're already working as a DBA - don't attend school. Use this role to start pivoting into development or whatever you want. Learn the skills you need to fix problems at that job and start showing it off.

2019-02-26 00:02:28 UTC  

"Oh Jim, you need a script to automate that?" I got you.

2019-02-26 00:02:38 UTC  

FUCK NO

2019-02-26 00:02:44 UTC  

Don't rent your own spot for 1100/mo

2019-02-26 00:02:52 UTC  

lmao, aite i wont

2019-02-26 00:03:04 UTC  

Bite the bullet and get a roommate or two.

2019-02-26 00:03:11 UTC  

UNLESS you REALLY hate people...

2019-02-26 00:03:19 UTC  

1100 is insane on 2k/mo income

2019-02-26 00:03:30 UTC  

ye

2019-02-26 00:03:35 UTC  

You need to make at least 3k/mo or more for 1100/mo rent.

2019-02-26 00:03:51 UTC  

A rule of thumb is indeed to spend max 1/3rd of your income on rent

2019-02-26 00:03:58 UTC

2019-02-26 00:04:11 UTC  

i can afford more food too that way

2019-02-26 00:04:23 UTC  

You want a nice place though because you will be studying a lot OR a shitty place but only sleep there basically and study at public places. It's a personality thing.

2019-02-26 00:05:06 UTC  

I workout and love food so I spend $200/mo but I don't eat out/prepared meals or drink. I get groceries and I never need BS.

2019-02-26 00:05:12 UTC  

would there be a lot of startups that would hire someone without a CS degree?

2019-02-26 00:05:23 UTC  

$25 on hookers... what kind of hookers you getting bruh @secrite

2019-02-26 00:05:25 UTC  

Do you have a GitHub?

2019-02-26 00:05:29 UTC  

Do you have skills?

2019-02-26 00:05:35 UTC  

If so, yes.

2019-02-26 00:05:37 UTC  

If not, get those 😄

2019-02-26 00:05:45 UTC  

DBA is good experience. SQL is needed.

2019-02-26 00:05:46 UTC  

ok - i will

2019-02-26 00:05:54 UTC  

@Longshanks Imaginary ones 😉

2019-02-26 00:06:00 UTC  

iam going to develop my skills in data science

2019-02-26 00:06:10 UTC  

Good idea!

2019-02-26 00:06:16 UTC  

I need to start learning that.

2019-02-26 00:06:34 UTC  

sounds like you need a spinning robot pussy @secrite

2019-02-26 00:06:40 UTC

2019-02-26 00:06:47 UTC  

I'd try to get some real skills quick - python/bash/linux admin/DBA/etc - then unite those with data science and start delivering results to your company.

2019-02-26 00:06:52 UTC  

@Longshanks Link? 😄

2019-02-26 00:07:18 UTC  

@JDB With your work ethic you won't have trouble finding a position. I'm only worrying about the fact that you might be pushing yourself too hard. I can tell because I'm doing that at the moment. Scheduling buffers and having rest might benefit you. These are things you can't see in the numbers, but you'll feel them. You're not an emotionless machine, so don't treat yourself like one 😃

2019-02-26 00:08:07 UTC  

So true

2019-02-26 00:09:07 UTC  

so - i guess that i shouldnt go to college - i could just move out now, and during my free time develop my skills - apply thjem to my current job - and look forother jobs on the side

2019-02-26 00:09:41 UTC  

my head has been all over the place lately, i keep on changing plans

2019-02-26 00:09:45 UTC  

That's what I would do, but it carries risk

2019-02-26 00:09:47 UTC  

no certainty
