  1. Dude, minimum hiring requirements of a corporation that pays good money for a software engineer are typically masters and five years of industry experience or PhD in CS. Can you handle either? If you are asking stupid questions online... then it's a resounding NO. You are not even close to being able to handle the real world.

  2. Why do you want to get a low paying job in the tech industry when you can get a high paying one with a mathematics/statistics degree? Assuming that you actually have a mathematics/statistics degree worth mentioning. If not and you are old and failed in your first career, then why would anybody want to hire an aged out and burned out rookie in a different field???? Are you for real???

  3. Dude, can you look up on the internet what the typical minimal hiring requirements are? Typically you need masters and five years of experience or a PhD. Do you think that corporations are lying about the kind of people they need or what?

  4. The new direction is the same as the old direction: you get a masters or a PhD in CS if you want to become a successful software engineer. ;-)

  5. It was never valid. Just how naive are you? ;-)

  6. In other words, you are completely useless as both a teacher (I smell burnout and disenchantment with dealing with stupid students) and as a software engineer (you have zero relevant experience). Anybody who can program can learn Python in a few hours, so why in the world do you think that knowing basic Python is a valuable skill? It's not even a language that a large project should use. Python is a prototyping language. You can solve in-house engineering tasks with it (like test benches) because it's the better scripting language and that's it. Python is NEVER useful for production code and it's NEVER good for a user app (there is not even an easy way to distribute it to users, if you haven't noticed, unless you ship it in a giant container that contains the complete runtime system).

  7. Way too much for what you are getting (which is nothing). ;-)
