where is 'Big Dicks Halfway Inn' in this comp

It is kind of amazing. I have to remind myself that there's a normal sized skeleton under people like that. Under those....mounds.

they may have the strength to carry that weight around, but they need much more to use it in a forceful manner. it takes quite a bit of energy (as well as developed muscle fibers) to swing all of that mass around, and people who are grossly overweight aren't the kind to typically have that ability.

It doesn't.

That's flawed thinking. It's not the same.

Just make sure they don't lose their "littl 'uns"

???
I earn gross a MINIMUM of 2500 EUR / month. This last month I made > 10,000 EUR (lots of end-of-the-year work). Maybe you live in Poland or Czech republic or something, but here in Germany and probably the rest of the world, you earn 50-100 EUR or USD / hr for being a "programmer" (I'd prefer the term software engineer or software developer)

Of course taxes are around 35% for me, so a yearly gross of 60k means net of only 40k, but that's still a good chunk and I dare say every professional software developer earns at LEAST that much. Probably more like 80k once you get to project manager or senior developer or something.

Is that with a 4 year degree? My professor keeps going on about how with a 4 year degree you start out at 100-150k per year here in the states

I studied electrical engineering for 4 years but have been programming in some capacity since I was 8 (I'm 30 now). Plus I only work an average of 20hrs/week, soo....

But STARTING at 100-150k in the states? Pfft... don't think so. Maybe with a masters or PhD and going to Apple or Google or MSFT or something. My first job after school (I studied in the US and only moved to Germany 8 years ago) was an EE job, which normally make more than software guys, and it was at a modem company and I got 55k/yr. Of course that was over 10 years ago, and inflation and all that.

Yeah look here: www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Software_Engineer/Salary/4fd947de/Entry-Level

entry-level software engineering (which can also mean people who have a PhD or people who have 5 years experience but are still considered "entry-level") looks to be between 55k and 100k max, with median at 71k. And 71k USD = 65k EUR, which I made last year. This year officially I made 55k, but I purposely am sitting on15k worth of invoices that I will send next year for tax purposes (to get in a lower tax bracket this year). But like I said, I work 20 hrs/wk, so if I worked full-time, I'd be in the 120-150k/yr EUR bracket. And in Germany I get 4 weeks vacation, not 2.

But don't do it for the money: do it because it's fun to solve problems and create software to help people and challenge yourself with new technologies.

job im applying for, you start out at 15 an hour (too lazy to do the math for year-paycheck) and can work up to about 100-140k a year after about 5 years. dont need any experience nor do you need a college degree.

luckily not everywhere gives a shit about degrees.

> too lazy to do math
> expect 150k after five years

15/hr * 40hrs/wk * 52 weeks (assume paid vacation) = 31,200.

to get 150k/yr, you'd be making 150,000 / 52 / 40 = 72.12/hr. So yeah, that's a 480% increase over five years. Unlikely.

Although I will say, when I first started freelance programming, I charged €35/hr. Withing 3 years I was up to €60/hr, and now I max out at 70 (for the last 3 years)

believing me or not is up to you, but its good for me since i dont have to start freelance programming or have years of programming to back me up

and that's what I don't get: you have little to no experience, so basically you will be expected to teach yourself or your colleagues will teach you, and within 5 years you expect to earn a full-time Sr. Software Engineer salary? Which country is this in? Maybe 150k is like 35k € or something. I'm sorry, I just don't know any company that operates like that UNLESS they will be simultaneously sending you to university. And even then, normally a B.S. gets you into the 50-70k/yr bracket and the company pays for you to get your masters and then you get to 100k AFTER you've paid them back a portion of your tuition.

But again, my experience is only about 12 years and in the US and Germany, so maybe if you're in Singapore or Brasil or something it's completely different.

In any event, I wish you all the best! Programming and software engineering can be fun and can help your mind stay sharp in old age.

fortunately theres a banking software company named Q2 that has a program about teaching people with little to no experience in programming everything they need to learn, then hiring them on full time.

and this is in the US, in Texas.

I can't seem to find anything online that alludes to that. The best I could find was this:

www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=Q2ebanking/Salary/by_Job

which doesn't show that anyone in the company makes more than 100k/yr unless they've been there more than 20 years. I don't want to discourage you, but I would encourage you to make sure they don't pull a fast one on you and promise you "you could make up to 100k or more a year in five years" but then basically they just keep you at 50k/yr as a slave - which isn't necessarily bad.

Anyway, it's time for me to start working actually.

Peace. Oh, and if you ever go to the circus in Austin, tell my friend Josh (he does trapeze and shit) hello for me.

Yea I have heard that places are starting to drop the degree requirement for a lot of programming positions. Riot Games took it off of almost all of theirs if I remember right.

personally im just happy that it's not required, saves me going to college, especially since i couldnt go to a good college anyways due to my shitty grades in high school

I made more than 900 euro a month for my coop last term, it was my first job and there was barely any programming evolved, and it was roughly average to below average for first coop term at my school. I'm fairly certain the average programmer makes more than 900 euro a month

Son, you just got fucking burned the fuck out.

Really now? Absolutely none of the times I see a reply like "OMG BURN!!!1!!!" I see a burn worth mentioning, just like now. I mean, it's a burn, no doubt about that, but c'mon, i've seen (and had) way bigger fires.

Is it sad I didn't know this until Calc 3 when it was explicitly said...

Is fuck+you an expression IT'S A JOKE BRO.

It was 39 years ago though.

We're supposed to feel bad for ourselves because she's a young actress? Fuck you bro

Ok, don't worry, I won't spoil it. I'll say this. Just make sure to get the Mastermune and Chrono Cross. They have something to do with Kid. It will definitely make you happier.

you could pinch a nerve doing it wrong, then your fucked

Can confirm. Dislocated my shoulder during a big wrestling match and had the trainer pop it back in a tapped it but something felt really off (besides the fact that it was recently dislocated). Went to the doctors and said I had cut a nerve. Its healed now but I still take caution of my shoulder since that match.

Yes
yes you do

Without a technique you run the risk of making it worse

we dont know the technique
we just know you absolutely need one

Because we arent doctors lol
