So, you calculate the ROI of college. Now compare that to the ROI of apprenticeship. Compare those two to the ROI of simple cert chasing.

Make it easy on yourself and just calculate the payback period.

@JDB Here is another question: Do you want to work in operations/support or engineering/development? If you want the former, don't attend college and instead get certifications for those roles/niches. If you want the latter, either attend college for Computer Science/Engineering or simply learn the skills and develop a portfolio to show off.

Do you want to be a technical dude long term or go management? That also requires a unique background.

Hey all. How is it going?

Hey @shadow007!

i want to work with great people

Management doesn't require much more than reading the art of war, rules of power, charisma myth, and peter drucker.

Oh, ha.

You might as well give that up right now.

Or really double down.

"I want to work with great people. I want to marry a NAWALT. I want to win the lottery. I want to save the west."

Only one of those has any chance of succeeding.

And that's winning the lottery.

I want to cure my autism

Try keto.

Now, that's bitter af.

I do work with some pretty great people.

But they aren't the titans I would prefer. Because that sort of person doesn't even travel in packs.

from my experience I found controlling food intake is the best for dealing with autism at work @JDB

don't eat until around 2-3 PM

I think autism is a symptom of low fat from the mother.

And during the upbringing.

most the day's work for IT guys happens in the last 2 hours of work

You know, when everyone has fucked everything up.

you can have coffee in the morning with fat

You wanna be traumatized about autism? Watch The Magic Pill on Netflix, assuming its still there.

like coconut oil

and eat around 3 PM

you're golden

^ try keto

even on keto

@Longshanks I agree 100%. I either have a super fat breakfast - butter/eggs/cheese with milk or fast until 1700.

eating a lot of food increases stress levels

I feel great on both.

After getting off caffeine, I feel even better.

Consistent energy.

@secrite I'm bringing that back.

I fucking hated caffeine but I was addicted.

I found strict carnivore feels great.
