- November 30, 1999, on Career Guide for Engineers and Computer Scientists:
I think all of you groaning-n-moaning computer science people should look at you friends in physics and pat yourself on the back you will be able to make $5K-10K a year when you graduate.
I am a physics senior, going on to graduate school. My plan is to work like a dog and get a tenure-track job by the time I'm 30 (making ~$4.5K a year) and get tenure by 35 (making ~$5K-6K a year), and hopefully I won't burn out. Right now I am not particularly depressed because I figure it is impossible for some-one with a higher education to starve to death or else live like a dog in the 21st Century, in America. So one might as well do what one likes. I am looking at a career where most guys can't afford to get married before they are 30, and I wonder what the hell are you comp sci people so depressed about.
