Just graduated from college in IT, I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two. I originally wanted to do creative communications but couldn’t get past the entrance exam.
Comment on We don't judge here. :)

About to graduate in physics and I’ve definitely scrolled through IT job postings when anxious about not getting a PhD position

Don’t worry, when IT students get those moments they look at construction ads. It’s turtles all the way down.

And when us constructing workers get those moments we say fuck!, but at least we don’t have student loans to pay off.

i didn’t get a degree until I was almost thirty, from an online college at that. I’m a complete idiot and somehow earning a bit over $200k a year in the Midwest at forty years old. Sometimes I have to meet with people and I’m like man, just let me back in my hole, wtf am I doing here, I can barely understand what these people are talking about let alone process any of the shit they are saying. I talk, ask questions, sometimes get answers I can understand but always make an idiot out of myself but I keep talking. Everyone says it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be assumed to be an idiot instead of opening your mouth and removing all doubt but I swear I’ve made a career out of being an idiot. If it wasn’t for IT I would be cleaning shit off guys dicks in a brothel somewhere to feed myself.

In my experience so far asking the question instead of just fucking everything up by guessing is a huge reason why you get paid what you get paid.
