Go ahead and find me, Spencer Nelson, or any other Software Engineer of any level you want.

- pc86 5y agoI know this is a common refrain, but if you can build and run a successful sports organization at the university level you can potentially help bring in tens of millions of dollars to the school. It's very competitive, it's hard (in the sense that there's no playbook to do it the way you can grind leet code for a few months and walk into any junior or mid-level FAANG job), and like most people you're being paid less than the money you're bringing in.

- nexuist 5y agoYou can be. What's stopping you? Go out and start a competitive team that can win against other colleges that sink millions of dollars into their program. If that sounds like too much work, then, well, yeah.
