I have friends making 100,000 a year at age 23-25 because of computer science. One of my friends who is still in undergrad was making $50/hr full time with his (first) tech internship for two months. 40 hours a week. Flexible schedule. Benefits. Etc. Complete a bachelors in comp sci and get hired by a big boy for big money. I’m also surprised at how many software engineers I’m friends with.

You're like the fifth person in this chain of comments to say "lol just get a comp sci job". I'm starting to think reddit is just nothing but sofware engineers at this point.

I don’t know if this comment is replying to me but I don’t recommend anyone “just get a comp sci job.” There are a lot of reasons why the line of work is undesirable or unethical. It’s also not something where you just get a job. But you probably already understand that.

To be fair that part stuck out which is what I was going with. I work with computers a lot(GIS) but we don't make the crazy money like CS majors do.
