The typical tech job is more like someone getting paid 30k a year to delete porn from Facebook or draw boxes around pictures of stop signs.

- NotSammyHagar 7y agoThanks for that. It's amazing to look at those median job salaries and try to understand how salaries vary so much, along with cost of living. I'm in one of the coastal tech hubs and we pay bachelor's degree people over 130k. An amazing amount, but way over that median.
