What's the best way to get into CS op? Would coding be the best place to start? I've always been a computer geek/ tech and gadget nerd but never took the time to get involved.

Only get into the profession if you enjoy being around people, their annoying families and clueless residents all day. Volunteer at a hospital for a few months to observe the profession and ask nurses about their thoughts. I see new grads crash and burn within 6 months because they didn't have any idea for what they were signing up for. Sucks for the ones who took out student loans for it.

Also I live in a coastal city so my pay isn't the norm.

you will achieve nothing of consequence
being a wage slave is the sorriest way to make a living so you can take your dumb kids to school and have an excuse to get out of the house so you don't have to see your miserable wife all the time

when people tell me they've worked 30 years for same company, doing the same thing, I automatically think to myself "this fucker had 30 years to make better financial/life decisions and is still doing the same shit"

be smarter and more efficient with your time you fucking mongoloids

>>8936898
If it's a good school and you actually enjoy programming then yeah sure. Most cities job markets are saturated with fresh boot camp grads with 0 experience these days so you will have a tougher time but if you can stand out and show you're a fast self learner and hard worker it won't be too bad. Get some real projects to show off. Specialize in something other than web dev (eg crypto or data science) if that's what you really want to be doing.

I'm currently an account manager at an ad-tech agency, I'm 21(still technically in school) and make 65k a year. Hoping to learn to code and moving to something more tech based and breaking 100k within the next year or so.

My advice to anyone is to minimize expenses, I spend 25 dollars a week for all my meals, I meal prep every sunday, I invested in a home gym so I don't have to pay for a membership. Only expense is my phone bill(50 bucks a month) and my commuter pass, and the 100 dollars I spend a month on food.

different personality types i guess
nothing seems more abhorrent to me than just being another "cork" in the system - passing onto the other side without anyone knowing the difference (besides the relatively insignificant social/familial connections you've made over your time on earth)

the only thing that will stand the test of time is what you've achieved, your contributions to humanity - whether that be a business, a published paper, an invention, or some form of philanthropy

what can you honestly say you've done if you just worked, for example, at a insurance claim office for 30 years? Nothing is worth doing if you're not learning and being challenged at the same time. Stagnation is a form of complacency and complacency is a form mediocrity and mediocrity is a form of "fuck off and die".

Nurses No doctors yes... but it depends. Only time I see it happens is if a patient is being taken off life support. In the movies when a person is taken off a life support they die 10 secs later but irl they can stay alive for hours. So officially the doctor will prescribe small amounts of morphine and another drug (honestly I forgot the name but it helps to reduce the gurgling sound a patient makes after you remove them off vent support). In reality they'll push a shit load of morphine to quicken the process. It's better for the families this way.

And this is done only after the family agrees to take the person off life support.

Oh well I've did a BS in "information technology" but it was thanks to the fact that I played a lot with PHP, a little game theory, and pre-cal that my courses seemed like a breeze to me.

Granted I'm not advocating that you use PHP but I am saying you should consistently and regularly practice "a programming language"; whichever you think is best. (there are a lot of languages pick one you think is neato)


Although I may not have understood java when I was in uni, I knew that PHP had arrays, I can sanitize and validate user input, how to make a nested loop, etc. (basic to intermediate tasks you'd normally see in a php dev)

and when I would see the java professor do these things, I understood the concept of what was being done and all I needed to "learn" was "how to implement 'x' in java". (this gave me a gigantic step ahead of my burgerland uni peers)

Also keep a github/gitlab/gogs/etc profile of programs you think are worthy of sharing in your portfolio. (IDK which you prefer but its important to "show your work")


Some one also advised trying to focus on a project. (by picking a problem, starting small, then expanding it)
Here: >>8937182


Another user recommended doing research into something that could be useful to people. (AI has a lot of room for improvement but again there are TONS of things that can be improved, we also need non-AI software to automate a lot of things, there needs to be research done on security for everything. Just pick a problem/project you LOVE. I did and do not regret it; not employed but I am happy doing my own thing :D )

Ah, ok. Thanks man. Also... yeah there are already a few pajeets, pablos, and ching congs already getting into AWS.

I think a hyper specialization is best

ie. Linux Security (LPIC has a cert for this and pays handsomely AFAIK but its in progress to get there)

ie. Data Analysis (I metadata its more useful/damming than I originally thought and people have no idea how the fuck to do REGEX; it can be a little challenging but its not too difficult for me ATM)
