/feels/ - Advice & Venting

I don't know what kinda jobs the AI took for you, but in the companies I see there's barely any competent workers to go around, most people can't do shit and are just good at marketing themselves.

have u considered going to college? idk what ur options are as being just out to hs. also, have u considered working in ai? it's a hot thing rn

i would probably suggest going to a community college and getting a cs degree from there. having lots of experience should also be helpful for you in finding a job! people are worried about AI, but tbh it's not as impactful on CS as people think it's gonna be.

I drove trucks and can second this, It's great money if you're okay being alone most of the time and putting in effort to eat proper food that isn't from the truck stop. I fought hard to resist all the ready made delicious slop kwiktrip/Loves/FlyingJ had to offer, if you don't you'll look like a greasy man after a year.

Forgot to mention stay away from armored trucking, that whole industry is a shitshow and you will be misreble from the horrible working conditions if you go into it.

Talented or/and hardworking programmers are still finding jobs. The problem is that you are competing with people who have been doing it since they were 13. The fact that you say AI has "wasted" your experience just shows me you only care about the advertised lifestyle and salary, and not about the field or CS in general. You can't really compete with people who love the field, tie their identity to it and spend all the time programming or exploring technology.

I mean, is it really a "dream job"? Have you written any software outside of CS classes? Do you talk to other programmers? My guess is no because if you did, you would know that most do not take it as a serious threat and are preparing for an era of "vibe debugging" consulting.

when we kill all indians the tech job market will finally open up but it won't affect you as you will have been delegated to life as a concubine by then

If you don't mind working bedside for a while, become a nurse. Then get a job doing health IT, as an RN medical coder or working with a medical device company selling shit. Or you could become a nurse practitioner and have a chill 9-5 prescribing rehab patients suboxone or some shit.

I'm fucking dead, an ex friend of mine does this and I can't help but thing of the rampant misogyny and sterotypes that permeates in that industry.

Im right there with you Nona. Current personal and financial situations basically makes it seem like the tech industry is harder to break into nowadays but if its something you really want you should go for it. You can always try to network yourself at events or on LinkedIn. What are your thoughts on bootcamps? Is it the same as college?
