Haha! Funny meme, with no real world connection!
Found the computer-science major.
Some part of me hopes that the current shit show eventually reaches some sort of conclusion and all of the people that actually have real-world skill sets will get to go back to what they know how to do because the business that ran on capital will have collapsed. I know it’s an unrealistic hope. But it’s a hope nonetheless.

Most of this is due to Xitter didn’t collapse spectacularly after only a skeleton crew were left working overtime (crunch), so others followed suit, then kept pointing at AI. What we need is strikes, building alternatives so we can actually boycott, etc.
Unfortunately I have no hope of this happening in our lifetime. Maybe the lifetime of the next generation, but with climate change on the horizon, I have little hope for that as well.
With climate change on the horizon, people with real, applicable skills will come around again. Because we’re gonna need them when we’re all eating roach stew and 49’ing, like nasty boys in Fallout.
yeah pretty much. sometimes i feel like the only thing standing in the way of a job that could serve as an entry point into IT/software engineering is me. but i’ve tried everything and have gotten nothing but radio silence and rejections. i developed personal projects, cleaned up my linkedin page, networked with others that happened to be in the field when i worked retail, revised and revamped my resume several times over. my standards were low to begin with, now they’re below the floor. nothing’s come of it. i don’t know what the secret sauce is. i really don’t know what else there is to do besides succumb to neetdom and chronic dependence. my stupid ass applied for a master’s program too, i guess i’m hoping that things are somehow better once i’m finished with that. or so that i can keep telling myself that i’m the one in control lmao.
I’ve started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.
On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that’s hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of those are pensioners now.
I know it’s tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it’s all I can tell you, unfortunately.
Me with a degree in wildlife conservation!
Yet finding work is almost fucking impossible and dealing with the bureaucracy of job hunting is so overwhelming, my unmedicated AuDHD ass cannot keep up.
Yeah, I loved graduating with an environmental degree, and the only relevent jobs being hours away.
I expected a lot of travel for the career, I just was naive in expecting that travel to be reimbursed as it’s a condition of the job. Nope, gotta foot the bill yourself.
I have passion for this career in conservation but, unfortunately, I also have to be able to afford the cost of living.
Yeah, that’s what I mean. To work anywhere in my field, I’ll need to pack up and move, finding an apartment on my own and still taking care of myself, while on a salary that’s not particularly great.
Why would you do this to me
Me, with a degree in informatics engineering working in data science for almost 3 hears on my third world country: How the fuck does an uneducated burger flipper in the US/Europe earn as much money as a congressman 😭😭😭
Go get your dick wet its easy… You might have to lower your “standards”…
Get it lower… even lower… alright, low enough to reach that American Standard.
Yet they think they are gonna be anything with that business administrator alpha delta phi dum dum degree. Would you like you hogslop on the floor or on a bed of rice with a nice glass of aged 30 year pee? Dreams yeah they got em. Dreaming dreaming away. Ai is a search engine that sucks, that is given too much credit. It is like putting the world on pause as the “leaders” contradict themselves. The clock is ticking the world is burning, airlines got insurance for when the nukes drop. Don’t worry you can still go to Disneyland.
what
Vibe coding you mean
