Good Software Developers, depending on their field, do make pretty good money in Silicon Valley (and alright money in other places). But dadudemon is right, that you can optimize your salary by being management with programming experience.

And getting an 8% interest rate from a respectable and trustworthy bank seems unlikely at current interest rates.

At any rate, I didn't know you were a software developer. What languages do you program in? And when have you started learning it? Have you finished any projects one could look at yet?

With an associates:

"may vary depending on a number of factors including industry, company size, location, years of experience and level of education." As well as how many projects/accounts you're willing to take on.

I'm not going to settle for that kind of position earning only what those people who're on your team earn. That's bullshit, and unlikely.

Your perceptions/knowledge of software developer earnings was explicitly wrong. Having incorrect ideas on what to do with your career is a very bad way to go about life. You could make a wrong decision. I provided evidence of my position (my devs are paid above average, by the way, but not a single one makes over 60k a year). I've lead you to water: drink. Be more realistic. You're not mentally stable enough to deal with the devastation of investing 4 years of your life with the end goal not being possible.

Yes it is, because you can put that kind of money into an account that gives back 8% interest annually.

Now if it were $86,000 or something, you might have to settle for 3-5% interest.

Withdrawing any amount; i.e. all your interest every year (to live off of) is entirely allowed.

You're wrong. That's not how any of that works. An 8% return on a savings account or even bonds, does not exist. Period.

Don't get me wrong, according to capitalism, the very purpose of existence is to greedily horde an over-abundance of wealth so that it can be utterly spent on living life to the excess. I'm all about that. However, I do believe that a computer science degree, even one so insignificant, lowly and mediocre as a bachelor's, is the most useful degree in acquiring wealth in this day and age - and if I can earn it without even fully applying half my wit, then why not do so? There're apparently better positions that said degree level entails overtime - networking for instance, or your aforementioned administrative position. Still low in the pathetic middle-class totem pole and hardly worth my time in the long-run: they may serve as a means to an end, whereas without them I am a nothing - lower than a bastard.

My end-game, after all, is to become as close to perfect as one gets - and to over-indulge only with those who're one zilch away from being equally superior in hierarchical stature. I wish to usurp the 1% with me and my own children. A new pantheon - and I will ensure that my children grow to be better, more altruistic men than me, or so help me God I'm shutting this whole show down.

You didn't answer my questions. Do you already know how to program, or are you counting on learning it in the Computer Science degree?

Yes.

But back on topic, lets geek out about programming, since we are both in the same field. What's your favourite programming language and why?

The meaning of life is money. You were born into an extremely capitalist society so don't think that it's about something else 'less you want to be a delude yourself.

I've taken like one Intro to Data-Processing course, that's it.

I've got to get through Calculus and Geometry II before I even start concerning my self with the stupid software shit because I like math more so I want to do it first.

It's for money, the field has never interested me, but there's the most money and guarantee of employment in it.

I'm not sure software developer is guaranteed money, nor even the most lucrative field.

I disagree with that statement.

Hmm, the issue with programming is that you get a lot better with experience, so if you actually want to get good, and being good is a prerequisite of being well paid in the field, you should start as soon as you can.

**** a degree. I can get the doe however I want, the only issue I face is the fear. If I fear the failure, I'll fail. That goes for driving without crashing as well. I can go however fast I want. The law of attraction is real, here, I'll show ya'll.

My ambition won't be as piss-ant as Will Smith's either.

You cunts!

Mere slaves of capitalism, not masters of it.

Even if you go on to study mathematical programming you're working with numeric methods, which are different from the algebraic methods you study in calculus and geometry.

Speaking of which. If you're still interesting in proving Beal's conjecture it's not possible to do with numeric methods, since numeric methods work with finite operations.

From what I can tell you're not going to do well in your programming classes because you're not interested in it.

Blah blah Max.

Blah blah.
