<p>What are the chances of a CS grad from a Podunk Tech getting one of those 100k jobs, compared to one from Prestigious School like UMich? Impossible?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Could you ask him to write an article on how to self teach CS?</p>
<p>what year are you? it’s not too hard to take engin101 and see if you can survive the very first intro course of programming then you can see if self teach is an option.</p>
<p>I fail to see how it is possible,despite extreme cases, for one whos not done to any engineering thinking to suddenly grasp the skills in such short period.</p>
<p>Tentai, @your first question, if college education is all they have, then probably close to zero, due to both the prejudice against the podunk techs of the world and the relative lack of quality many of these schools offer (took a summer class at such a school to see what it was like; it was a joke).</p>
<p>@your second question, no. He’s not only not only too busy to do that, but also not interested in teaching random people how to teach themselves (he learned in an unconventional way, anyway; I don’t know all of the details).</p>
<p>Could somebody from MSU CS get one of those 150k jobs?</p>
<p>If you have CS-MS from UMich and a BA (liberal arts undergrad) from the same is your chance of getting 100k+ job less than that of CS-BS UMich?</p>
<p>Tentai, has it occurred to you that your persistence in asking odds for less qualified candidates is actually offensive to those people who have dedicated their undergraduate careers, in a very rigorous course of study, to learning the craft? </p>
<p>So, what you’re asking is essentially “Can you teach me to perform brain surgery on myself without me having to go to med school.” The answer is sure, we all can tell ya how, but WHY WOULD WE? and WHY WOULD YOU?</p>
<p>If your only criteria is a job that pays $150k whatever the discipline, there are many fields you should consider pursuing. But by pursuing, I actually mean studying.But if the money is the only thing that interests you about programming, then I predict you’d never make that kind of money, because your lack of passion will show in the standard of the work, for which at this point, you don’t even seem interested in pursuing undergrad.</p>
<p>Is there a way to get into Investment Banking sans U, by proving your intelligence somehow? Get 5 on a bunch of hard AP and perfect score on SAT and do something else, but what would be that something else?</p>
<p>tentai, you need to chill out and stop thinking that not making 6 figures straight out of undergrad will make you a failure at life</p>
