Back in my day, almost exactly 10 years ago, relatively few college freshman had significant experience coding, beyond understanding basic syntax (probably <10%). Most of the most blatantly experienced coders were bored for the first couple months and dropped the course/school to make heaps of money, not realizing understanding syntax is like 2% of Computer Science. So the people most vocal about how easy the coursework was were at a significant disadvantage in the long run.
- doitLP 7y agoBut it just goes to show that that 2% is all you needed to make heaps of money ;)
- laxatives 7y agoI mean heaps of money is relative to a college student fresh out of high school. Everyone I personally know who went that route seriously regrets it and hit a glass ceiling within 3 years of working. Their careers tanked before the rest of us even got started.
