Fuck ALL engineers.

I work as an American graduate assistant. Today I did more good for society than any of you greedy people will in a lifetime. Want to know something amazing? I can feel it in my HEART.
I started work at 5:00AM today. I was able to perform 10 tissue culture assays, purify three proteins, test 7 pre-clinical drugs, prepare 50L of bacterial media, AND write half of a research grant application today. I find problems in experimental design that paid professionals often miss. Even if it's helping the post-doc who is supposed to know what he's doing, I never hesitate for the good of science.
I get paid $18k/yr, USD. Yeah, laugh all you want, you engineer jerks. "Muh opportunity cost", big deal. So you make $60k/yr wrangling spreadsheets from 18-30 while I break even with nothing to my name after undergrad loans are considered. WHO FUCKING CARES. Once I graduate, and then finish my post-doc at 35, I'll be able to find a job ANYWHERE IN THE FIELD. Do you know what the median wage is for biotech researchers in the Bay Area? 80-fucking-thousand dollars a year. You'll never have a salary like that, and certainly not living in such a nice area. That's not even considering all the Numeraire I earn.
And the hilarious thing is you guys think it's all about money. The money is only secondary. Do you have any idea what an honor and privilege it is to work in Dr. Blaustein's lab? I'd do it for free if I had to. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing you're playing a part in curing cancer.

I make 105k a year as a programmer. 100% self taught, no college.
I don't give a shit about society though, so I'm pretty happy.

Honestly it's not even a lot in some areas. I'm in Texas though, so you'd have to deal with that.

80k in the bay area is 36k anywhere else. Have fun with your Gassless government owned cars. I literally hope you die in a fire.

This is texas programmer guy, and yeah, the bay area is shit. I left 180k in the bay to make 105k in Tx and I'm at least 400% happier. The bay area is a shit hole.

How long were you teaching yourself before you found a job?

I just started picking up programming on my own and feel like since I've not been doing so autistically since age 9 or something I'll never get anywhere. I'm 25.

Also, codeacademy.com should be in your favorites list for a while too.
Get any job that remotly does what you want to do. You will pick up skills that are reusable, like how to use GIT and stuff like that.

>When you see all the engineers and scientists around you panicking and dying of memes while killing each other and then realize you are a mathematician.
