truth I've got friends and relatives spending huge money to send their sons and daughters to college for worthless degrees where they'll be unemployed or earn $40k/yr (in 2021 Biden dollars) insanityhttps://twitter.com/RealBobbyDino/status/1459161267902451712 …

sneakn @sneaknsneakReplying to @MorlockPI have a 12 year old civil engineering degree that still gives me value despite a checkered work history. I somehow managed to take all the pointless humanities courses I want to as well. I am consistently surprised at the shelf-life of a basic engineering degree.4 replies 1 retweet 25 likesShow this thread -

My STEM degree is working out well for me and I never had any student loans. So, the only debt I have is my mortgage. Technically, I have more in assets than my mortgage amount but that is mostly retirement funds that I mostly can't touch.

I have a Biochem PhD. What I actually do on a day-to-day basis is more MolBio with some Biochem. I'm doing pretty well but would do better if I left academia. Our undergrads/techs who have left for industry jobs are doing well. One I would not have recommended started at $74k.

We had a bioinformatics grad student earlier this year get three offers including one starting at $140k. That was in the Bay Area, though, so cost of living is going to destroy that.

Going Bioinformatics or anything computer based is the way to go I think. That cost of living is a killer I’ve been looking for myself and others to see what’s out there and everywhere I’d want to live is no jobs/low pay High pay in areas where I’d lose half in housing/tax

I do software, which is hugely open to remote work, and I live in the middle of nowhere in NH where property is quite cheap compared to urban areas. Works for me.
