Get a CFA. Save your fucking life !

CS is a meme just like other STEMs. You wil always work under a english major be it a Chad or Stacey.

Technology barring few exceptions (Facebook / Network Effect) does not yield a competitive advantage. VCs, Recruiters and HR Roosties laugh at you. Don't waist your 20s and 30s with tech.

Learn sales & marketing (even you are an introvert), get a side hustle (Amazon or Shopify Or Kindle), Invest aggressively, get passive income. Get a boring, less-stressful job as a DayJOB. Enjoy life away from keyboard. Don't ruin like me. Thank me later

"computer science engineering" isn't a thing. There's computer science (programming and shit), and computer engineering (mostly hardware, a sub-branch of electrical engineering). It's only real engineering if you need a license to practice it.

OP let the trade fags have their cope, allow them believe they are “real men” because they break their backs all day. Can you imagine if you had to wear Walmart jeans, drive a truck, work outside all day and get greasy and dirty every day of the week?

Welding is garbage and kills you much faster than they say.
Plus you have to know much more shit than pure welding just to get an average salary.

Cdl here. I surpassed 100k salary years ago. I will probably make 150k this year. Lots of hours though. It's a good job. We have too many smelly turban fags doing it. Plan for an exit though. I'll kill myself if I'm still doing this in 10 years. Save lots of cash

Was expecting atleast 1k/month (poor country)
Got 400$ and quit after month and a half. It's always dirty. I don't know what the fuck i'm doing. Constantly breathing in steel shit into your lungs. And I realized that I really really hate doing anything with machines. Even fixing my bike pissed me the fuck off as a kid.

>You'll practice what you learn instead of just knowing how to do something in theory
>Teacher actually gets to know his class since it's smaller, instead of just talking to a huge wall of people
>Your last exam is delivering a product or service to an actual company, so if you do well you can easily get a job or at least a recommendation straight out of school
Only downside is that you already need to be a trade's nigger to get in.
