agreed. IT is basically 120k (mid career) with TTT degree, 30hr weeks, casual work clothes..

Not to be confuzzled with CS, which is actually very prestigious....

However, pharma and accountacies do have decent upsides if you eventually become sales or biz dev side and partner, respectively.

EDIT: I made more money in IT WITHOUT any college degree and without 5 years of experience.

CS from a true TTT is PURE SHIT. But CS from a ~T70 is fucking credited, and yet enrollment drops every year.

Also that guys sounds exceptional.

Maybe if we're talking about Devry or some online degree shit, but from basically any normal school people with CS degrees can do better than that. Many people in IT don't even have CS degrees, they just get a few relevant certifications and some experience and they're good to go.

"Also that guys sounds exceptional."

This is what I'm trying to figure out - wtf is wrong with him?

Agreed. I am racking my brain trying to figure out if I know or know of anyone with any kind of engineering degree making that kind of money, and I can't think of anyone.

Heck I know someone from a TTT UG with a BS in Civil Engineering who just landed a job for 70k with NO experience

I would say $40-60k with no experience is probably the 25-75%. I would even believe 34k with no experience ITE but no way would anyone remotely competent be in that position 5 years down. You take that job and take certification exams, keep resume spamming, etc.

IIRC, even mediocre school CS programs have median starting salaries above $50k or so. I find it hard to believe that a guy takes home $34k after a few years and just sits on it like it is no big deal. If I were that guy I would be acquiring certs like mad, considering grad school, whatever it took to gtfo of that situation. Then again, I'm a supreme striver.

Dentists and pharmacists at least have some deflected preftige from being tenuously related to medicine. Hell, even taco truck d00d is an entrepreneur and small business owner.

IT dudes (rightfully) have a reputation as a bunch of slacker dweebs, and they're at the bottom rung of any corporate ladder.

I troll IT all the time.

I once considered law school but passed it up after landing a solid gig with the federal govt in IT.

I only have a UG degree in Econ from a top 50 school. Some grad school, but no graduate degree.

Make 75k+, rock solid job security and great benefits and vacation. I own a number of websites I started during UG which brings in a solid side income I could live off of if I really wanted to.

My job is great and the days fly by.

With the fed? Prob not.

The only ITs I know of that work for the fed that do not have UG degrees are people who started as grunts in a non-IT related field and worked their way up and were really good with technology and took advantage of all the training the fed gives. These are people who started in the fed a good 10 years ago.

These days a federal job is hard to get. They typically won't hire anyone without an UG degree and prefer those with graduate degrees. The federal govt is packed full of education whores.

BUT, if you have VERY SOLID WE, you may have a shot.

EDIT: If you have a non IT related degree (law) and solid WE in IT or a cert of some kind, you may also have a chance. But really, most ITs I know have UGs in math, econ, comp sci and/or some kind of graduate degree in Info Tech.

In IT: WE trumps all
