One of my realizations as I grew past early adulthood was that I actually enjoy the human interaction and people management parts of jobs way more than dry technical stuff that leaves you shut in a basement or, even worse, out in the open and dealing with people anyway except you've got upper management demanding impossible things

I was sure I was going to be a shut in programmer for years, but I'm glad I developed what I did instead because it's way easier to hire someone with just raw technical talent than someone who interacts with VIPs and affiliates properly.

Maybe I'll split the difference and get an associates in CS and then transfer that to a BS in Lit or writing or smtg

maybe a MIS degree would be good and potentially useful career wise

on the other hand, if degrees are just class badges (they are somewhat) then get a degree in something you enjoy and will be able to do well in.

actual class mobility is determined by the salary you command. a CS major can make six figures in not-california with 6 years of experience. a writing or lit major will make six figures nowhere, ever.

the trick is that programming in many ways is applied algebra. fizzbuzz and similar programs do nothing more than combine algebra concepts with a specific language's syntax and most tech programs don't encourage combining these concepts the way they should, even though it's fundamental to programming. many, many programmers freeze the ever living gently caress up once they're asked to handle one of these ideas outside of the classroom.

i've interviewed dozens of programmers for the various jobs i've had over the years, and the company i currently own. 50% is, in my experience, an exaggeration, but it's not a big one.

I would love to teach this class it would be loving hilarious

"Our codebase uses a custom implementation of string lists, because the back end was built in a version of C# that didn't have generic collections. Your assignment is to do a search and replace for all of the old references and replace them with new ones, then test every single functionality of the code by hand because we don't have dedicated testers or testing tools. Everything you learned about algorithms will be useless"

then someone loads up resharper in his dev env, does this in a single day using find usages, and you tell them "well you aced this poo poo, congratulations you now can do exactly what you would irl with the time you've saved: play internet clicker games and masturbate in the bathroom."

Yawn. An English major has a higher median income than a person without a degree. So, if you're like me, and you would hate your life if you had to work with tech-bros for 80 hours a week, then it is a very good idea to get a humanities degree and take your soft skills and use them doing something that isn't programming.

You don't have to make all the loving money in the world for a college degree to be "worth it." Especially when the degree is free, as is the case for EHF.

like once I tried to work my way thru a freshman programming text, structure and interpretation of computer programs, and got about 4 pages in before it wanted a proof, and i was like wow CS grads must be ace studs who could go from bare metal fistfuls of chips to a fully functional modern computer

edit and im pretty sure those 4 pages would let you write fizzbuzz in lisp several different ways
