I saw a question like this in Zhihu: "Why don't you choose a computer major?"

I don't understand what it means to advocate computers now.
Graduated from 985 computer, brushed countless LeetCode, recited countless stereotyped essays, interviewed and built rockets, and finally got involved in a big factory. I started going on a blind date recently, and I really hit a wall everywhere. Personal observation, when girls are looking for a partner, they don’t look at your income. A lawyer with an annual income of 300,000, a doctor with an annual income of 200,000, a civil servant with an annual income of 200,000, and a male teacher with an annual income of 200,000. A financial man with an annual income of 400,000 is much more sought-after in the blind date market than a farmer with an annual income of 500,000. None of those middle school teachers with an annual income of less than 150,000 are considered code farmers.
I asked a lot of blind date girls' opinions, and I can sum it up in two points:
The work of code farmers is not stable enough. Translated into adult words, code farmers will be eliminated at the age of 35 when they eat their youth. Compared with lawyers, doctors, and civil servants, it is far behind.
The work of a coder is not decent enough. Translated into adult words, without any social resources, children cannot go to school, and parents cannot help them see a doctor.
In fact, my personal conditions are not bad, my height is 183, and I was chased by many people in high school. As a result, when I went to college, there were only 1/4 girls in the computer department. When I went to work, I was typing codes in front of the computer every day, and I hardly saw many women. But personally, I'm not worried. After all, where is the height? On the other hand, many colleagues and classmates are not so optimistic. Basically, they are bald around the age of 30, and they are also hunchbacked. It is really difficult for them to find a partner. Many people have never even held a girl's hand.
Here I want to say that code farmers can be said to be high-quality targets. Because we write codes in front of the computer every day, and we also have to study the technology in our spare time, it is impossible to cheat. Like lawyers, doctors, and finance that are popular now, the chances of cheating are very high. When they are developed, all kinds of junior secretaries are really common outside! Give us coders a chance.
In general, here are my views on computer science:
1. Times have changed. There must be a reason why code farmers are touted. In 2008, computers were really at the bottom of the chain of contempt. My cousin graduated at that time. At that time, computers were not enough and were transferred. However, the explosion of the mobile Internet, coupled with artificial intelligence, has given the computer two lives. Many of my leaders, who joined Internet companies in 10 to 15 years, have literally achieved financial freedom. The annual salary is one million, the value of the real estate has increased by a certain amount, and they go to work every day to cheat and play with female subordinates. This is the group of people (to be honest, many of them are of low quality)
Alibaba was listed in 2014. 14 years ago, few passers-by on the street knew Jack Ma. At that time, it was really not difficult for a second company to enter a big factory. Our 18 years have been very curly, and I also entered the big factory with 985. But now, when we recruit, non-985 masters don't even look at it. Yes, we can give 300,000 yuan to freshmen a year, but we usually have to wipe out more than a dozen talents to recruit one. Are you sure you can get involved in our big factory?
2. The wages of code farmers are not so high. In addition, the 400,000 package includes stocks, and it can only be given to you after working for 4 years. The resignation and job-hopping are all gone. In fact, your salary is only in the early 200,000. Do you really understand that there is not much tax deducted? Unlike civil servants, the basic salary is 10,000 yuan a month, but there are various year-end bonuses, subsidies, spiritual civilization awards, five insurances and one housing fund. Really different. Considering that programmers are basically unemployed at the age of 35, the children are probably still in elementary school at that time, and the whole family eats and drinks.
In addition, income is divided into bright income and dark income. When other doctors share the money, they will not tell you. People won't tell you about receiving kickbacks and red envelopes.
3. It is very important to find someone. We have very few girls majoring in computer science. After four years of university, we really didn't even have the chance to talk to girls. After graduating, I went to a big factory to study, and I didn't have the opportunity to contact girls.
4. Code farmers are really suffering. When you were in college, it was normal to catch up on projects all night. Various new languages, various frameworks, and various configuration environments can drive you crazy. Do you believe it? Other engineering subjects worry about their exam assignments, which is funny to us. Exams are nothing, you have bugs in the code, and you can’t find the reason after debugging for a week. The problem is that the code can’t run out of results, and you get zero points, regardless of how much time you spend. This is true despair. For our big homework, it is really normal for you to write a big homework in 1~2 weeks. You have to study for at least a month in the training class outside. I really don’t know if the brains of those teachers are flooded.
5. Finally, let’s talk about retiring at the age of 35. Why do you retire at the age of 35? Essentially, it’s because your competitiveness at 35 is already younger than that of a 27-year-old, and you are old and decrepit. NBA players are considered veterans at the age of 35, and we are the same. We can only earn 10 years’ worth of money in our lifetime. If we don’t get a little more now, what will happen when we get old? Some people in the comment area said that the algorithm is not unemployed, and I laughed to death. You must know that the algorithmic post only appeared 15 years later. There was no such thing as an algorithmic post before, and no practitioner was over 35 years old. How can we talk about the 35-year-old crisis?
Summarize:
Computers are not as good as imagined. The most important thing is whether the growth of the Internet can be sustained. In the past, computers were also a profession of persuasion, but later it was mobile artificial intelligence that continued the life of computers. Now that the Internet has passed the trend, the darling of capital is already autonomous driving and new energy. If you still think that the high salary of the Internet can continue, then you are really naive.
Not to mention that since computer is an engineering discipline with its own hard core attributes, it is really hard for 4 years in college. When it comes to work, it is also a hardcore mode. If the code is not well written, it will really be eliminated at the end. And just like all engineering majors, there are very few girls, so it is difficult to find a partner. Because the computer is facing the computer, my eyes are short-sighted, hunched over, and baldness is really an occupational disease.
Considering that the computer is unemployed at the age of 35, overall it is really not so fragrant. Personally, I suggest that the following types of people can learn computers:
girl. Because there are very few girls in the computer industry, the teachers in college will usually give you trouble. If you can’t, you can find male classmates to help you with your homework. When you go to work, you will have the opportunity to meet Internet elites with an annual salary of millions (rather than the bottom earning hundreds of thousands. code farmer Ha), the gender advantage is huge.
Children from extremely poor families. That is to say, you need a bursary to go to college, you need to be a tutor to earn pocket money, and you don’t even want to eat meat in the cafeteria. The biggest advantage of computers is that you can get a job with an undergraduate degree. After graduating in 985, I was convinced to go to HKUST Xunfei, and it is not difficult to find a job with an annual salary of 100,000.
Two-dimensional, nerd, otaku. I don't like going out to play, I don't like talking to people, I have no interest in girls, I just like to tinker with computers and play games. In fact, before the computer became popular, most of them were this kind of people.
people who want to immigrate. People in developed countries generally have good security and do not want to do dirty work, so code farmers have the opportunity to immigrate. Of course, immigration is not necessarily good. First of all, it is the level of English. In addition, foreign countries have serious racial discrimination and repeated epidemics, so they cannot take care of their parents.
Two and three colleges. Students at this level are basically going to work in factories after graduation. They basically have no chance in the civil service exam due to their poor academic qualifications, and their clinical scores are not enough. They are basically rejected in the interview because of their poor undergraduate education in finance. . The computer allows them to write programs in the office and earn thousands of salaries. They are only grateful.
Here is the timeline:
1. End of college entrance examination
A wants to learn computer, because the computer score is very high, in order to choose computer, A has to lower a grade to choose a school;
B wants to study medicine, and he finds that the scores of many medical schools are not high. B can even choose eight years of clinical practice, and graduate with a Ph.D. He went to a certain 985 in Beijing;
C wants to learn finance, like Central Finance Shangcai, the score line is already at the level of middle and late 985.
2. During college
A writes codes and fixes bugs every day. From time to time, he needs to stay up all night to catch up on projects. He hardly has any time to come out to play, and he can hardly find a girlfriend;
B Due to the eight years of direct clinical practice, the university only maintained an average GPA, and participated in many clubs during other times. Because he is clinical, so in school, he has a lot of face;
C studies finance. Finance is really simple, it is basically a liberal arts major, you don't need to use your brain, and there are many girls. C talked about 2 girlfriends in college.
3. University graduate
A wants to take the insurance research, but finds that the average score of the insurance research has reached 87 points. After all, the computer majors are the elites of the elites, and it is normal for them to pass the exam. I wanted to find a job, but found that I couldn't even pass the written test. I have to take the postgraduate entrance examination. The 408 professional course is really difficult, and I have to compete with many majors who change majors;
B is Linba, no postgraduate entrance examination is required;
C has to take the postgraduate entrance examination because he plays every day in college. He found that the financial postgraduate entrance examination is not difficult. After all, he only needs to prepare mathematics, and there is basically no threshold for professional courses.
4. Find an internship
A wants to find an internship, but Tencent Ali has no chance at all. In order to find a job, he read LeetCode for more than 100 hours a day, and read more than 100 questions. In addition, he also needs to memorize technical stereotypes and do projects, which is very difficult;
B's internship is arranged by the school, so he doesn't need to worry about it;
C found it difficult to find an internship. After all, the financial industry is particularly concerned with academic qualifications, and some companies even do not accept non-Qingbei. However, relying on his academic qualifications from Shangcai, he also easily went to the Big Four.
5. Postgraduate
A's mentors are not good, they squeeze them to do projects every day, and they are not allowed to go out for internships. A swallowed his anger in order to graduate, and had to study in depth in order to graduate. He was busy until 11 o'clock every day, although teacher P didn't understand;
B has started to follow the instructor to perform surgery. If the patient doesn't say hello in advance, B's tutor usually likes to let B go up to practice, although B has screwed up several times, but the patient doesn't know;
C graduate students are basically doing internships, and they can still get a high internship salary. Since I work in finance, I also relied on this title to cheat a few girls into bed, and accidentally became a scumbag.
6. Graduation
A graduate student was almost depressed by his tutor for 3 years, but the salary of computer is still high. Because there is no good internship, Tencent and Ali can't go, so they can only go to second-tier big factories. Maybe it’s God’s spirit, A was caught by Huawei, and A was so grateful that he could finally go to Shenzhen to enjoy the blessing;
B graduated a year later than A. He found that he still needed regular training, and his salary was only a few thousand. He felt that he was cheated, and he couldn't help shouting "Persuading people to study medicine will be struck by lightning", and B successfully entered the top three in Beijing;
C's job search went smoothly, and he went to Lujiazui, Shanghai. Although he was only a grassroots employee, he was very bright.
7. After working for 3 years
A's salary has reached more than 400,000 yuan, but his body can no longer move. After all, he gets off work at 12 o'clock every day. But A is still motivated, and the assessment is also A or B. With some savings, A also plans to look at the house;
B has finally finished his regular training, and his salary is less than 10,000 yuan. It is nowhere in sight to buy a house. However, because B is in the system, the hospital will give him a Shanghai hukou;
C was promoted once, and his salary can sometimes be as high as 500,000 yuan. C also plans to buy a house. In addition, because of the convenience of work, C invested a lot of stocks, and it is said that the income is good.
8. Get married
A had no choice but to go on a blind date because she couldn't get in touch with girls. Because code farmers are not popular, and A is already bald, he is ridiculed by many girls. In addition, housing prices in Shenzhen are very high, and A barely gets into the car, which puts a lot of pressure on her. In the end A found a girl with a book and got married;
B also went on a blind date. Although he has no house and his salary is very low, he is very popular. There are many aborigines who want to find a doctor, and their family property is at least 20 million;
C found a junior sister of her own, who was young, beautiful, and happy.
9. Working for 7 years
A is 32 years old, working overtime all the year round made him suffer from many diseases and had to go to the hospital frequently. Once, being blamed at work, A was so angry that he resigned. Later, A found out about the new job, and the salary was less than 400,000, but he did not work overtime;
B has become an indication. The salary is more than 300,000 yuan. In addition, there are many gray incomes, but it is difficult to explain clearly;
C has been promoted again, and his salary is 600,000. C is already planning to buy a good car.
10. Working for 12 years
A persisted for several years, and was finally forced to "retire" when he was 37 years old. However, there are not many mortgages, and A plans to open a training class for code farmers by himself. At this time, on platforms such as Zhihu, he hyped up the high salary of code farmers to attract customers for himself. At this time, the child is in elementary school;
B is only one step away from the director. The salary has also reached hundreds of thousands, and there is no need to worry about housing in the school district, after all, my wife is an aborigine. In addition, the primary school teacher has always flattered B and treated B's children very well. The head teacher of the elementary school even wanted B to be the chairman of the family committee, but B still refused;
C's salary is close to one million, and the second house is still repaying the loan. The child also went to a prestigious private bilingual school, and he speaks English more fluently than Americans.
11. Working for 20 years
In the end, A found a private company to work with, and signed a labor contract. The salary can be more than 300,000 yuan a year, but it is not enough in Shenzhen. Seeing a classmate going public and getting several million options, I was really envious and shed tears of incompetence. At the same time, A takes advantage of his own advantages as a code farmer to train his children to write codes from an early age;
B has become the deputy director. Although the salary is 500,000 on the surface, who knows behind the scenes. Now crack down on extracurricular training, but many famous teachers are still willing to tutor B's children secretly. After all, many people still want to curry favor with doctors. There is also a professor in Beijing who wants to give the results to B's children. It is said that self-enrollment is useful. Some people want to write a recommendation letter for B's child, and it is said that going abroad is useful. But the college entrance examination in Beijing is easy, B lets the child decide for himself;
C became a financial executive, and sometimes went to unspoken rules as an intern. C is also mixed with various investments, and the income seems to be objective. The child is in an international high school, so he can afford the money to go abroad anyway.
12. Working for 30 years
A can no longer write code, but the small life is also nourishing. B's child is also graduating from university and looking for a job. Although the college entrance examination in Guangdong is more difficult, little B also went to 211. B said to the child, parents don't know anyone, everything depends on you;
B has become the director. Those who communicate are also rich or expensive. Money and everything are trivial. His child wants to study for a Ph.D. and become a professor at a university. B fully supports him and finds the dean of Little B to write a letter of recommendation for Little B to go abroad;
C's child is planning to return to China, and C already owns 3 properties at this time. C intends to let little C take over, so let's go to the financial industry, after all, the salary is high, and C has personal connections.
30 years later, A will at least have a house in Shenzhen, and his children will have graduated from 211. B knows a lot of dignitaries, and bought a house, but the mother-in-law has N houses, all of which are her own in the end, and she doesn't know how to spend the money. C already has 3 houses, and in addition, he has gained a lot of money from stock trading, so he has gained a firm foothold in Shanghai.
