If you're smart enough to finish college you're smart enough to move up the corporate ladder without a degree

I earn 50k/yr right now and I've never spent a dime on student loans

Universities are daycare for most 18-22 y/os at this point

A couple years ago I made about $83k. Then again I was a contractor and my employer leveraged that to bully me into working 12-14 hour days for a few months on top of 8-10 hour days on Saturdays, and 4-6 on Sundays.

Lets just say I hated all life.

I make $58k now without a degree

I'm cagey about it because I taught first year college students in Detroit and they were told that if it wasn't engineering or nursing or some vocational degree, then it's useless. So, when they struggled with science or math, they thought college was pointless for them. The only way they are getting out of Detroit is with a college degree and a humanities degree would get them a job.

That's why I'm cagey, prick.

It will have been something of a legendary move by Russia if the US people, the beacon of democracy, start infighting because a large number of people support Russia.

Infighting as in an actual escalation up to civil war.

no rurals just hate education in general

there's a reason for that. the kids who go off to college often never come back home because, well that not where the jobs are. so rural people dislike college and poo poo because it basically takes their kids away. that's not a logical response, but people aren't logical

luckily you have failsons like me who get useless degrees and go back home, combating this perception

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"

I actually had a class like that my senior year. He gave us a custom game engine he had written from scratch that he has removed like half of the modules (lighting, physics, networking, etc) and we spent the first half of the semester having to work in groups to implement them, while trying to communicate with the other groups on what functionality they would need. The we were split up into different groups and had to write games using all of the modules that everyone had written while maintaining a shared engine trunk, so you couldn't just hack the engine to make your stuff work or other groups would yell at you

I took an ethics class and that got me into Bertrand Russel and Karl Popper so I tried picking up one of their logic oriented books and it was brutally unreadable. I want to take a logic class at some point though because conceptually these books seem super interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Mathematica

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Logic_of_Scientific_Discovery

Just pick up a symbolic logic book. That's actually how I found my way into CS. The only thing you need the hardcore math for is integrated programs or scientific applications. Business is more about translating rules and requirements into algebra.
