Yeah, EE is boring and irrelevant. The best part is, there's so many elitists with a superiority complex in it.

Probably, but you can't infer that from those statistics since it doesn't differentiate between someone staying on to get a masters or doctorate and then entering the workforce or someone getting a masters or doctorate in order to meet the requirements to get a job.

Getting a legitimate position in IT is almost always based purely on experience rather than education. A bachelor's degree isn't as necessary as you'd think.

There's literally no reason to require a fucking computer jockey at a call center to have a bachelor's degree. Especially in computer science, which is essentially just an applied mathematics degree.

nukes learn that too, but phys dont have cool labs where they shoot radiation at materials and fuck them up, or make thin films by magnetron sputtering deposition, or irradiate shit and determine what it is, or any of the other cool shit

An AAS isn't the bare minimum, dummy.

The bare minimum would be sitting in your parents' basement and reading a CCNA prep book while jerking off to hentai, which is what the vast majority of current IT workers did.

I plan on working while going to college and finishing a B.Sc. in Information Technology, though. I want to use up this delicious GI Bill.

[Anonymous No.7499749]

>>7499746
It's a two year degree requiring no effort, I'd say it's the bare minimum.

Also, I'd recommend against doing a degree in IT. Employers already know IT is a consolation degree for people who couldn't hack it in CS.

We do.

(source: where I did my undergrad had an entire group dedicated to thin films, I knew a guy that was working on replacement springs for advanced LIGO)

Not him but I have an associates degree in IT and went on to study computer science.

IT and CS have little to nothing to do with one another. IT is technically a facet of CS but no CS student learns networking in their program as part of the curriculum.

That's not to say a CS grad couldn't go be a network engineer, but that's not what computer science teaches and without the proper work experience, they're as useless as a materials engineer in a mechanic's workshop. It's literally the science of computing and the principles of computation. OOP, algorithms, recursion, graph theory, etc.

You might briefly go over subnet masks and bitwise operators, but it really depends on the university and how specific their curriculum gets. In my CS program at UPenn we did nothing regarding networking outside of theory.

You've never done the program so you don't know shit. I got my AAS from the Air Force and went on to work for almost 4 years as a networking technician. I think I know more about it than you.

Except it was in his situation. The majority of employers still want a bachelor's degree at the minimum. Maybe you can go to the startup companies who's employer is in the new age, but every big company that has existed before 2000 still want the degree. That's not gonna change for at least another 15-20 years.
