12 years of training doing what we were doing anyway. I paid my way through school by working and getting tuition reimbursement from the hospital I now work at. I literally almost graduated debt free. The only "downside" to this is that I had not sign a contract stating I'll work at this hospital for 20 years (15 more). It was the hospital I did my residency at, so literally I just received my degree, received a way raise and continued doong what I was doing every day anyway. It's not like my life was on standstill while I was in school. I was still working and progressing. Fact of the matter is, you don't make more money than me. Plus, there's qt nurses running around in scrubs and nothing makes women wet like introducing yourself as Dr.(Last name). Sorry code monkey.
Why do you guys hate CS majors so much. I was a CS major but I don't think I'm that big of a brainlet...
Machine learning based diagnoses will make you obsolete, and the steady hand of AI guided surgery machines will make you organic units a health hazard to patients. Enjoy it while it lasts
>my program was great and highly related to jobs
You got a trade school degree at university prices. CS courses shouldn't be "highly related to jobs".
Post the curriculum. From the sounds of it, I bet you had no advanced math courses and several courses on programming, OOP, webdev, phonedev, gamedev, system programmign, database, and SE.
They hate us cause they ain't us.
They wish they could play with Integer rings all day long, but they have to work with stinky Reals.
You're an idiot, those joke courses like OOP, webdev, phonedev and stuff are not related to jobs. My courses were mainly data structures and algorithms and theoretical CS related which is what you need to get good jobs.
There's a really massive dichotomy here between shitty CS jobs and good ones. Shitty ones require those topics you listed. Good ones don't, they require more actual CS knowledge.
And what courses do you consider advanced math for CS?
>you find something easy that I find hard
>you must be a brainlet!
Why must the meme be true every fucking time.
Then why the fuck don't you go do it? An abstract sense of intellectual duty to stay true to your math or mechanical engineering roots despite them paying significantly less than you will make after a good CS program? Give me a break - Veeky Forums is too degenerate to hold up concepts like that
If it's so easy just go do it and make way more money than you do right now
>My courses were mainly data structures and algorithms
This is a freshman level course.
>theoretical CS
Sisper is also freshman level.
This diagram is less than half of a typical CS undergrad. Just as an example, tt has theory of computation as an endpoint of sorts, where in modern curricula it's more of an end-of-first-year start-of-second-year level course.
To be fair, it also has a number of courses that are no longer as relevant today as they were in 1968. Analog computing comes to mind.
>no advanced math courses
Yeah, I'm going to study complex analysis -aka turbo autism III - just because Veeky Forums said I should. I know it is worthless outside schizo department, but that user really dared me to.
