>We really just need better public education, as well as clearer separation between information and entertainment.

nope, this won't work.

People will always need a place to voice their vile comments in a cowardly manner

some of my friends were already from those big cities. others were from the suburbs and moved to a big city after college.

I don't contact random alumni, unless we already have several mutual friends in common. Or were part of the same student associations.

i know plenty of folks who worked as devs without a college problem. Some are as good and maybe even better than those with masters in CS.

Biggest problem? The finance and HR department will use that as negotiation tactic against you to pay you less money.

you completely missed the part where i said "while not necessary"

> Join a large church and you can probably meet people in every city too, and you won't need to take out huge loans to do it.

most people only go to their local church. Many people from my uni were from out of state

i don't know about the UK, but i know in the United States that "Computer and Information Systems" isn't as marketable as "Computer Science". Since most major tech companies know that CIS is for those who can't handle data structures and algorithms. But hopefully her 5 years as a dev could counteract that. If she switched to CS, then that would be a lot better

while not necessary, college provides a social framework for many people. if i visit, NYC, SF, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, or DC, then i have alumni friends i can hit up and hang out with.

I'm not sure how you could do the same without going to college

its kind of scary how correct you are about how friendships fizzle out

>Anyway I think this is a bit sad.

It definitely sounds like you have something against your brother by the way you have portrayed him in a negative light. It sounds like you are competitive against him by constantly comparing his lifestyle versus yours.

if you joined their whatsapp group out of self-invite and they begrudgingly obliged, then you will see all their invites and still be self-inviting yourself to their other events unless they personally asked you

nice life story, but the fact that you wrote this long story and explanation shows that perhaps you would want somebody to confide in but can't find that in real life. Otherwise, you wouldn't spill your life story to a bunch of strangers where your comment is a tangent from the mainpoint of OP.

i'm pretty sure it means exercise and diet.

for me, i'm more comfortable asking a girl out on a date than hanging out with a guy

>if I waiting for people to invite me first I end up with 0 friend

but then those other people are begrudgingly inviting you out of politeness since you asked, rather than being a genuine invite

>I have never be able to make [close] friends, especially same-sex friends

I hear this a lot from women and their inability to make friends with other women. More commonly, most of their males friends were just "hovering" around them as nice guys hoping to eventually score a chance with them. But when these token women try making friends with the same gender, those other women are naturally less attentive because they don't have the same romantic inclination as those "nice guys"

>it's just hard to meet people in the first place

I disagree. There are plenty of places to meet people. Instead its hard for most people to be compatible to hang out regularly. Most lonely people have plenty of acquaintances, but no close friends to regularly hang out.

>If he has a single friend, I'm not aware of that.

You make him sound lonely. But he has a wife and kids. Most people get less involved in their friendship group after starting a family

if you went to traditional university instead of community college, then you would most likely fee different.

Community College typically don't have dorms and high participate in student orgs.

>Don't be ashamed to ask people to add you to their whatsapp group

That is rude and looks desperate. If a group actually likes you, then they would invite you first. As a general rule, never invite yourself to anything social. You can invite others to your place or to have dinner, but not to something else somebody already planned

Buzzfeed and HuffPo have an agenda to be very liberal and uses sensational articles to get attention because it goes against what most people historically think

Your quote says she joined in 2006 but link says 2007.

Did he edit that recently?

>The Harvard part of the degree is completely irrelevant

When Venture capitalists and angel investors decide to invest, brand name helps decide who they invest in.

Is not everything, but its not nothing either.

>"men are better than women at X"

You don't have to read about it. Most people already think men are better at everything. Most CEOs, established scientists, famous chefs, and philosophers are almost all men.

>no one is complaining about the lack of girls in the blue collar industry.

Gender equality in STEM is more about just getting them in.

It's about social mobility for women. Which is why nobody cares about getting women as miners, plumbers and getting men as social workers.

Why wouldn't clients meet at the library or coffee shop? There are plenty of coffee shops that aren't noisy. And if not, you can book a quiet room in the library too.

Why don't most retailers hire workers as independent contractors? They could fire without legal consequences?

more self-service kiosks would be an easier solution rather than building an entire new system.

If you used your phone, then it would easy to shoplift. Buy 7 items, but "forget" to scan the last two. Self-service kiosks at least prevents this with weight sensors, cameras, and a human kiosk manager.

Apple is a design company.

Foxconn, Qualcomm, and Samsung make their hardware.

Cognizan and InfoSys develop some of their software too.

Facebook for my peers is now used for official announcements by users.

1. just got married/engaged

2. accepted to MBA/Law/Medical/other grad school

3. job offer from prestigious company such as McKinsey/Bain/ Google/FB/Apple

4. DSLR photos of exotic vacations

either that or passive aggresive political viewpoints.

Snapchat serves a completely different purpose and has the daily "realness" going for it

>Not just that! Don't forget about attending a dozen conferences a year, doing talks, and local meetups

You don't really need any of that.

Ultimately, you just need to pass the interview.

Sure conferences and tech talks might help give your resume some more visibility and likeliness of getting hired. Similar to having a couple toy projects, but many top tier companies adhere to a set of standards in their hiring process where they won't let you bypass their DS&A interview because you gave a tech talk.

at my university's law school, which is a T14, the average starting salary is 125-150k.

Which is a lot, but not as much when considering that most law grads have mountains of debt plus the opportunity cost of not being the workforce for 3 years. Plus they average 55+ hours per week. And usually cannot work from home.

You're better off doing CS undergrad and working for a Big 10. The hours are on average and can be flexible if you're an efficient worker.
