Now we're scolding laid off tech workers for not going to trade school.

When I was in college everyone was being pushed into nursing and education with the promise of high paying jobs with good benefits and job security. There were waiting lists to get into those schools. They took the brunt of 2020. I'd love to see what percentage of those people are still in those fields.

You can't really be a generalist computer toucher anymore, you need some sort of business subject matter expertise. The $350K out of college tech jobs were always sinecure jobs for the children of the privileged and we have 24 year old jokes at this point about people leaving pets.com and only being able to find a job swapping laptops.

You can absolutely be a generalist software developer, if you work for a software company that sells software as a product. There's still plenty of those out there.

The big thing is SaaS now, one of my previous jobs was a Blue that took their internal billing platform and leased it to other payors. They wanted devs with insurance experience on top of the dev background (and paid poo poo to boot). At my current job all the software generalist stuff is offshored.

Had a manager tell me "anyone with 4-10 years experience can do competent electrical design and code review. Once you're at 10+ years of experience you go to management or you suck it up and coast because you're doing the work someone else could be doing and there's no scalability to that. If you're not bringing in business or jumping to management to manage those workers your salary gets capped by the fact that less experienced people can do your work" If that's true why can't we find a single decent electrical engineer to hire

But everyone who sucks it up and becomes a manager to get paid burns out and leaves. Many such cases.

Mr Hootington posted:Manual labor is more satisfying work Absolutely but when people think of manual labor it's either factory work or sticking your hand down a toilet. There are so many other forms of manual labor that require extensive training and expertise and we just don't hear about (or value) those, and capital would really not prefer to pay for any training, at all. Hey why aren't there bolts in this door plug

Back in 2010s military I got to wave goodbye at the retiring breed of Warrant Officers who did complicated college educated functions related to war, but didn't lead troops or manage squads for any of their career. Now everybody in plane flying class must primarily be managers or they get drummed out from doing either.

Nonsense posted:i heard a speech pathologist say she wanted to be a teacher but they make poo poo and she likes being high income instead. I think there's also the known idea (or at least perception of) there not being much support for teachers anymore. Like I did tutoring as a side job in college and have kind of continued doing in the years since in my spare time, and I really do like teaching with students one on one or in smaller groups. I certainly considered going into public school teaching when I decided that my original research oriented career wasn't really what I wanted to do long term, but one of the incredibly nice parts about private tutoring is you get to pick and choose your students and set boundaries with parents. My wife is a prof at a local state uni and even colleges have gotten absurd with what she has to put up with as a teacher, like the emails she gets from students (and their parents) on a regular basis are completely shocking to me, and she p much has to put up with it as part of her career. I think I'd be a good teacher, but the low pay, overflooded classrooms, getting absolutely no support with any conflict involving students/parents, the lack of covid protections that are legit just killing teachers, it's simply not a desirable field to get involved with.

Frosted Flake posted:I think warranty. If you tune your Golf R to have a hotter hatch, you void VW's 6 year warranty. Yep if they're checking for warranty work because you blew a ringland or something they're gonna use whatever they can to deny the work and that includes seeing if you've flashed the ECU recently Past the warranty sure plug in a tuner to the OBD2 port and go nuts There are also piggyback devices developed for some cars that sit in parallel with the ECU and interrupt/modify inputs/outputs to achieve similar results to a real ECU flash. Maybe these could achieve turning on all of the car features really easily without flashing the ECU and thus remaining undetected if something goes wrong and you just uninstall the thing before you take the car in for warrantied service Everything eventually gets cracked, even John Deere combines

OH MY BAD posted:of all the things to trim in your budget why would your first instinct be "eat wilted lettuce and baloney"? that's the stuff your body is supposed to be using to fuel itself no it wasn’t wilted and the lunch meat was $3 for maybe 8slices of turkey so after her meeting we drove back to school each eating two sandwiches that should have cost me ~$6 total, but there was nothing cheaper than that salad and I thought for the size of it we’d end up with at least some dressing otherwise I’d have just bought a whole lettuce “those salad eaters are willing to pay anything for their health mwahahahaha”

Can't imagine being a teacher at a public school right now when a big percentage of the parents think you have been installed there by George Soros or whoever specifically to groom their child.
