So fucking what? That's on them for not pushing themselves out of flipping burgers. I feel for them, but nothing I can do for them. $50 is pretty easy to get.
We definitely do need to return manufacturing back here, but the current MAGA approach "snap your fingers and it's here immediately" is beyond ignorant. It took 50 years to ship it out, it's going to take planning and years to get it back. Nothing's quick and easy. The way they are approaching it is killing all hope of it happening.
You're kind of weird, ya know? Very difficult to communicate with...
And I never had a degree, and I've learned to shut up about it because those with degrees get all butthurt that their theory that there's "only one way" is in fact untrue. They maybe help, but I think it is pretty moot.
Yes, in fact I've had that title. It depends on the company. Usually there's "engineer" in the title somewhere, but that don't mean shit. I've had "Senior Principal Software Engineer" for a title where I did less and got paid less than my current lowly "software engineer" title. Like I said, it depends on the company.
