What's a better career (in any field at all) than software engineer?
Op follow your dreams. If you're just trying to get a paycheck then you're going to have a bad time.

Hmmm
>>54559796
true. I got that fucking paycheck and now I have constant depression. I hate this fucking meaningless job.
>>54560977
Which one?
>>54559788
I'm sure a lot of people aren't made for this career.
Hell, a lot of the people who are in this industry are clearly not made for it.
>>54560994
I always wanted to become a software engineer but later I got an offer to become public accountant. I fell for the ez money meme and now I hate this shit.
>>54561028
If you're not made for a career, you can still practice a lot to be good enough for it.
>>54561221
But then that goes against what >>54559796
said, and he is 100% right.
What's the point of being good at something you just don't naturally enjoy?
If the point of life and therefore a career is to find happiness then just becoming 'good enough' at something you will never enjoy for money will eat you up from the inside until you have the rotten soul of a wallstreet banker, and you won't even have half the money they do.
>>54561261
Love for a career != being made for the career
>>54561367
(Love for a career && Natural talent for a career) == being made for a career
though.
What I'm saying is that there are a lot of people who love the career but have no talent for it. And there are plenty more who don't even love it and also suck at it.

If you dream in code, you should be a programmer. If not, then you should do something else.
Hardware developer.
It's the better because you can actually feel what you just made.
>>54562306
>you can actually feel what you just made
I guess you don't really know what hardware usually do then?
These days it's mostly FPGA programming when there's any development to do (usually it's just debugging chips and measuring with an oscilloscope).
The few times you actually create a IC, it takes months from it's designed to the Indian or Chinese factory you've ordered it from actually creates the first batch of prototype cards and ship it back.

Owning your own interlock landscaping company. That stuff increases the price of a house by so much that you can demand insane margins and you get to work outside.
>>54559796
This shit does not work guise. Not matter what, no matter how much you love something, from the moment you are 'forced' to do it for 8h a day, everyday, after a few years at best, you are gonna hate it. If I had to choose between a fat paycheck for something I wouldn't like VS something I like with a mediocre pay, I would go for money, so atleast I can enjoy myself after tedious work.
>>54562499
Not true. You're of course not going to love absolutely everything about your job, but I genuinely enjoy 70-75% of my job and I look forward to going to work every single day and after vacations and weekends.
>>54559788
Being on the board.
CTO/CISO is better than any shitty developer job as you get gigantic bonuses, play golf all day and simply just email from your phone as your primary job. "Sell it". "But it". "Secure it". Literally you do nothing and are the highest paid.
CTO just means you are aware of what shitty hipster technologies you can use at that company in order to hire the lowest paid pahjeets and replace them easily with more pahjeets. "Deploy more javascript, team build with React challenges".
>>54562406
Don't you think I know that?

I wanted to make video games. I tried for years but just sucked at it. Now I'm in sales management and making money. Happiness in career isn't possible for some people.
>>54562553
The point I was trying to convey was that you can't actually "feel what you just made", 90% of the time is spent debugging something you or your colleagues made, and when you actually get to make something it takes several months before you can actually physically touch and use it.
Doctor.
Social covenant, money, easy pussy, always needed.
It's actually hard to get into though, and you're still surrounded by Pajeets and Asians. Not to mention the crippling debt and difficulty.

Doctors have a terrible work/life balance. Sure you make bank if you graduated from a top tier school but that goes for CS too. People don't realize time is your most valuable asset baka senpai
>>54562769
Doctors are the profession with the highest rate of depression. Sure, you may make a lot of money, but you see so much human misery everyday, you either become indifferent and look like a monster to other people or break down and need to take pills just to be able to function.

I just design custom PCB's for pump controls and adapt existing ones.
I also make a few dedicated network appliances every now and then.
I don't exactly make computer hardware.
Has for the debugging we just make it the simplest possible so we don't have to spend 20 days debugging the most stupid features in the programing.

Become a physicist of some kind, computational physics exist so look into that. Being mathematician would work too I guess.
>can code better than software engineers
>jobs exist
>on top of knowing the basic kinds of software, you also know lab/science software too
>much better understanding of math/logic
>if you are physicist you also get to learn shit ton of other stuff too
>and some of it is even directly related to computers
>you get used to a really intense academic rigor, basically you can pick up almost any kind of book in almost any kind of field and get into it
>>54559796
The world does not work on happy thoughts and dreams, economy does not work on hobbies. We'd all like to study Italian Medieval Poetry Studies but pursuing formal education should also be economically viable.

If only I lived where mail is delivered on foot. I'd run my car into the ground inside of a year if I did that around here.
>>54559788
Don't go into software engineering if you don't genuinely enjoy programming and computers.
I'm fucking serious. The speed at which the industry moves will chew you up and spit you out if you don't have some kind of intrinsic motivation beyond the paycheck. There's better pay to be had in other fields that's less mentally taxing.
That and SE's are generally insufferable to be around, and I say that as an SE.
>>54565854
And you also get a bag of free stuff every morning
>>54565960
the thing is, that will never teach you about the real world. He can just go into SE and get an internship and actually get experience. Every company is different, and there gonna teach him specific things. He just has to get work experience along with an education regardless of major.
>>54562261
But that's SE again.
>>54566774
There's a whole bunch of opportunities with a physics degree straight out of school, hell there are even robotics competitions (where you program your bot to do stuff, like carry boxes and so on) while you are studying. If that's not a real world experience, I dont know what is.
Sure there's a pure academia stuff, but There's also ton of pure application things in physics as well.
