Google software engineer does not have low barriers either. You've to train pretty hard for either. And both jobs seem like magic for general population.

- moccachino 8y agoWhat makes being a Navy SEAL cool is: 1) that they endured the training, unimaginably impressive 2) special forces military, always cool The only special thing about a Google engineer is that they get paid well and have a probably nice work environment. Which actually is nothing special. Most people would admire a Navy SEAL, be glad that they do their job but never ever want to be one, except for 5 minutes in their imagination. Almost no-one admires a Google engineer but most people would probably want to be one or at least have their working compensation/environment.
