Elite Colleges "Blind-sided" by Perceptions of Elitism

I meant during college. It has become customary to do internships for the last year or two. Summer Internships are exclusive in many fields -- but perhaps more attainable to CS.

Let me point out something that conservative (and I mean in the generic philosophical sense) have a rough time with. Getting a CS Degree is a clever move right now given the current dynamics of the economy. This assumes were talking about someone who likes working in computer science and doesn't have better options. OK, so what?

If lots of people did this... they would be paid less. And then it wouldn't be so fucking clever to be a CS major. This is probably what will happen at some point once Z and the other generation after it start hitting college. Computers are part of everyone's childhood now -- its not going to be as rare and in demand to get a good programing hire.

I come to fucking conservatives all the time with macro problems...and they answer me like I just asked them: "Hey Fash, whats the best move for a kid in a good middle class situation to make it these days.?"

"Oh computer science...fucking lady da. Let's get down to an inner city classroom and get Jammel typing and I'm sure the whole macro problem with wealth distribution we were talking about will just go away."

That is -- if they make it right? Because anyone that can't at least get a fucking CS degree is a piece of shit and waste of money. That is unitil it some other job in 5 years.

No way I'd hire some 9 month hacker boot camp grad, unless that grad somehow managed to demonstrate he effectively understood what you'd otherwise have learned from a reputable computer science college. You wouldn't want to end up with a dev team composed of dilettantes and web devs tasked to solve challenging software engineering problems. There's a reason good CS grads get 100k+ out of college in entry level positions.

Well, I'm just speaking from my experience: I've known many CS grads and actually hired two Hack Reactor grads. I wouldn't say every hacker boot camp grad is good, or even every Hack Reactor grad, but the ones we got were great hires. They were smart and knew the right technologies (eg. Babel, React), plus they were well-rounded. One had a PhD or Masters (I forget which) in Biology and the other was a Chinese Literate major who spoke both Chinese and Japanese fluently.

I got the sense that Hack Reactor had other similarly qualified graduates as well.

I have hired 4 mellenials and this is what they do:

#1 works 7 hours a day and constantly reminds us about how work is slavery
#2 chews with his mouth open
#3 changed his pants in a conference room with open windows infront of 7 other employees cus they got wet in the rain and he had a pair he changed out of in a pile under his desk from the last time it rained.
#4 cried the day they repealed net neutrality for almost 2 hours and had to take the rest of the day off because he was overwhelmed.

ladies and gentlemen... this is what college produces.

oh but on the bright side these adult children take 1/3rd the salary of an actual adult.

Selling to the masses and selling to business are 2 different things that I don't think you fully understand judging by your statement.

My friend for you I have very special price

betsy devos changing that obama shit about that one loan program forgiving all student debt that took money from them

the case was that this company gave false promises about graduation rates/income after graduation, but its changing thanks to the superior intelect of Betsy Devos:

was "did you have a loan through this company? yes? ok its forgiven now"

to "did you get a job with a salary of XX,XXX+? yes? ok it is no longer forgiven and you must pay it back"

Now, I think this is funny for a few reasons.. 1. the libcucks that were so happy about their debt being forgiven, will have to pay it back now after a few years of feelin good and liberal, and 2. it just fucking makes sense.

Pretty good idea. The problem: Law school. This is an enormous college loan bubble. Most these god damn morons used to get paid to do stuff people that make $20,000 a year do now. Only about 30% ever become real lawyers IMO.

That's going to be expensive to pay off. Honestly -- no loans for Lawschool might be a good practice. Scholarship only.
