"Most salaries pay shit, around 60k starting in Pennsylvania"

Literally 5 seconds on google, first time to sci but for it being a science based board there sure is a lack of common sense on here. Realistically unless you are a complete dumbass and decide to waste 50% of your income on stupid shit there's no reason why $60,000 starting is shit pay, even in areas where I live a software developer makes around $100k after 4-10 years experience which is an insane amount of money given that people can live on 20k alone.

>"Only the 'cool' positions are for research or people with a math degree or other highly applicable degree with a specific focus and application of programming and computer science."
What exactly is a """cool""" position in software development? I see the same entitlement here that is present in every naive college student that they're gonna get their degree (and the debt that comes along with it), and get some job hanging out on beanbag chairs chilling with Mark Zuckerberg or some shit all day.


Also, good fucking luck getting a teaching position. You think that computer science is saturated? Every other house or apartment in your neighborhood is filled with single mothers who went to school for psychology or english trying to suck the principles dick for that position, and good fucking luck if your skin happens to be a shade lighter than coffee grounds or you have an ounce of testosterone built up over a 10 year period.

60k is shit? Jesus you people are either out of touch or living in the heart of California.
