I’m an adult on long-term sick leave so I have zero energy and money, but all the time. It’s generally not great, but at least I’m able to play all the games I want, watch all the movies and series of interest, discover music and learn about a ton of things.
Ive always thought thsoe graphs were bullshit, im a college student and I have no time, energy, or money. I feel like this will not change drastically as i age lmao
The post literally above this one is about a manufacturing job with shit hours and pay and I work a 8-4 (sometimes longer) but im paid abnormally high (we start new devs at 70k and average dev is six figures).
But the other stuff like free time can absolutely suffer as even at the senior level, I’m taking so many courses and outside education to stay relevant.
I work almost 100% on a computer for a municipality using software that’s already 100% web-based.
But I have to drive 90+ minutes each way every day because a citizen might want to have an in-person meeting once every few weeks instead of an email or Teams meeting.

You guys have money??
I’ve been working my arse off my entire adult life and have nothing to show for it but debt and long term illness.

Depends on Major, I have more time as a Worker than I did in College. More energy, too.
Im a physics major so it is likely my own doing
Keep at it! Physics is cool as hell!

Most programmers I know have a SO and make bank. What is this?
The making bank brings the SO
you haven’t met me yet
Software engineers get paid more than any other engineering discipline so that part is wrong AF but yea the rest is valid

Software also gets a plethora of remote work. I have zero sympathy as a mechanical and manufacturing engineer.

You’re an outlier for sure
Oh, I’m not a programmer. I’m just bitching about how many of us have to go to an office for no reason.
Ah my bad
I work 30 hours remote and cost of living is pretty ok.
If you think programmers make less than other jobs then you’re totally out of touch.
Yeah but all the other jobs don’t leave you with crypto debt up to your eyeballs. I have $83k in credit card debt that I used to buy LUNA.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is incredibly dry humor or if you’re being serious.
Hmm, yes. This reasoning is perfectly sound.
Not all programmers live in the US. In the UK, especially outside of London, the pay is surprisingly bad.
