Only in the USA bubble.
Even software engineers are barely middle/upper-middle class in most of the world. A landlord, lawyer, doctor can easily gather more wealth.
- whatshisface 7y agoThat makes it even weirder, because Europe is a lot more leftist than the USA.
- odiroot 7y agoAFAIK nowhere in the world software engineering is as appreciated and treated seriously as in the US. I assume maybe Canada and Australia are very close. But in some countries (not gonna name names), it's not even worth to put yourself through all these years of hard education. You'd be better off becoming an accountant.
- brynlewis 7y agoIts worth it. Accountant/software engineer is similar amount of study in Australia at least. Similar pay as employee too. Just the work thats different
- odiroot 7y agoI assumed Australia can be quite good in this regard. I had a bit less developed countries in my mind (we even have those in EU).
