i lol half the time i'm hiring a programmer and see a b.s. too, honestly. nobody's a proven programmer until i see their github or bitbucket, and preferably also a stack overflow profile.

i'll still value a b.s. programmer over a cert programmer tho since cert programmers won't take instruction to save their lives. b.s. programmers are inherently a little more pliable due to having to bend with the wind at college.

:agreed:

I had to drop out of CS school because I was getting too much paid work as a developer even in my tiny southern college town. the money was too good and it didn't make sense to keep paying for school at the time. Worked out v. well and now I live in LA making bank building apps for startups

you don't need a degree in anything but it can really help! i don't know what your deal is but it's okay to get a humanities degree, bro!

they open no doors and are a waste of time and money, that's my problem with them. if you want to get a humanities degree ON TOP OF something else that will allow you to efficiently exploit a good niche like tech writing, then fine, that's one hundred percent understandable. or if you already have a viable career that leaves you with copious free time to do something you want to do, again, one hundred percent awesome. hell, my own background is BS in CS and AA in creative writing - why, because i like writing and also gently caress you i can.

but if you're doing this poo poo for work do something that'll result in you working less for more money in 5 years, jeez

What if the "illegal aliens" he is talking about getting out of the country are in fact, extraterrestrial refugees that crash landed in Mexico and just happen to prefer American culture. He's been briefed on how they were integrated into our society to look like humans and they're everywhere. He just assumes we all already know this. Salt-water is extremely toxic to their species, so they tend to live in big cities which serve at their sanctuary. And in fact, a giant loving wall would be a great way to stop them from coming in from Mexico. :tinfoil:

i have several acquaintances in quality with rando liberal arts degrees that got started because of a break who are in mid six figure territory rn

which brings us to the real truth; class mobility is largely a myth and where you go in the social order is largely dependent upon who you or your family knows and where you started in life.

if you are born in the poo poo, you will likely remain there. most class mobility is downward and significant upward mobility is rather uncommon

correct

class is not exclusively defined by income and the other markers can be real hard to obtain
