The problem is that for an average Joe on the street programming often equates to rocket science. I'm not trying to downplay the industry and say that the dev jobs are easy, but unless someone tries to really look into it, understand what it actually entails, they would think that it's extremely super complicated and is beyond their capabilities. In the past,I did offer quite a few colleagues a chance to learn with full support and very likely a job at the end with a substantial pay rise. Nobody ever took it.
- vemodalen 5y agoYou mention rocket science so I thought I would search: Here is entry-level US: 31000-45000$ in VA [0] Experience in orbit analysis and prediction Familiarity with a scripting language (i.e. Perl, Python) Second one 55000-65000$ in CO[1] work ethic (~60-70 hours/week) Experience programming in C, C++, Fortran (lol), Python, MATLAB and/or UNIX or kernels Am I missing something?

- aklemm 5y agoYes, the history of rocket development and an appreciation of common expressions.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoThis is probably going to be peak HN comment, but - somehow I find rocket engines to be way simpler than a car or plane engine. And then there's biological systems that are way more complex.
