| Helm | I'm getting a worthless art degree as well. And as I refuse to go into the advertising business altogether I'll probably serve burgers or pick up trash for 8 hours a day and that's completely ok with me. I'll have the rest of the day to look forward to, at least. I'll leave it up to monkeys and satanists to persue more lofty career goals because as we all know, career, money and prestige is everything. | ||

Unionize! Or go all Pied Piper on their asses and on your last day, lead all the children out of the mall and have them disappear.

Actually, I have to quit the Snoopy band after graduation and give my spot up to some youngster. Sad, really.

Anyone who stays in pure programming as their career is retarded. That's no different than working as a Wal-Mart greeter for your entire life. The idea is to move up the ladder to the positions where you are designing the software and telling other people what to do. Why you'd ever want to stay in the same position, endangering yourself to every new grad that comes along is beyond me. The low wages and outsourcing are only affecting the large sectors that have a handful of big competitors. It's not occurring in the smaller specialty markets. Why? Because it makes no sense for the 100-employee company to do so. Now stuff like tech suppport is a different story... Quote:

By the way, I've also got a job lined up straight out of school, and I'm getting a worthless BA in Music. So there. |

Actually, my roommate who is pursuing a Political Science degree was given the same promise at a radio station he writes and edits for. Once he graduates, he'll be taken on with a fantastic salary and benefits package. Not to sound insulting, but you come across as very naive. You make it sound like you truly believe IT is some safezone when it comes to employment and a future... but you do see it coming, right? You do notice that wages are dropping across the board and to remain competitive, all companies will have to follow suit eventually. What will you do when programming becomes factory work that is outsourced like virtually all production? Programmers, even good ones, are not safe. |

The company I'm at right now told me yesterday that they can guarantee me a full-time position when I graduate. I don't know anyone with an Arts degree who can say the same thing.

The trick is to get recruited while you're in school so you don't have to hunt for a job.

| Perndog | Prostitution is just another job. | ||

Prostitutes are NOT the most financially safe people, Perndog.

That's where realizing that the most financially safe people in the world are smart enough to find sources of income outside their jobs so they don't *need* marketable skills just to subsist. Of course, no one ever believes this, so I probably shouldn't even bother saying it. Dummies. |

Talent and drive can only take you as far as a given road goes. All the talent and determination in the world won't make a difference if your work isn't "discovered" until after your death, which has often been the case for famous artists. That leaves chance, or nepotism, which ultimately is also chance in my estimation. Life is a crapshoot, and the dice were cast before you were born. Hooray! |

Conversely if what you love to do isn't a marketable skill, you're fucked. That's where talent and drive come in. |

Conversely if what you love to do isn't a marketable skill, you're fucked. My B.S. wasn't huge help in the job hunt, since comp sci majors are a dime a dozen right now I guess. Decent wage temp work was easy as hell to get tho, especially in Wal-Mart country. In the end I took the nepotism route, and it's workin out pretty good. |
