As I've said before, I am a college senior studying CS. The average starting salary of a CS major is $60,000 and there are plenty of jobs out there. I'm very ambitious, have big dreams, and have no doubt that I'll live a better life in the future. I will NOT be "a 40 year old dude living in his mom's basement", and I don't need any random people on the internet telling me I'm a loser and insulting someone they don't know.

Where is the "Texas charm"? All I'm reading is bitterness.

You have no credibility because you have posted in other forums saying you were someone else. "I am an electrical engineer making $34 an hour..."

And now you're trying tell us you're still in school doing comp sci?

Here you said you already graduated and accepted a job offer...

The problem is that I've heard it's extremely difficult to get a job out of state. Last week I applied online to a few major tech companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, and Qualcomm but I haven't received a call yet. How do people manage to get jobs in different states?
And here, you're a married pediatrician with two kids...

My price range for a house is about $500,000. I'm married with 2 kids and i'm a pediatrician. Any good activities for kids? Is there a good water park and good zoo? Good schools? Auto Show? I currently live in a suburb of Detroit.
And here you're retiring...

More from bits Mike the-not-so-covert-nor-smart troll!

(Also, Mike, you joined in 2011 and have a rep of 16? I don't ever think I've EVER seen a rep that low -- or even close -- for someone who joined 3 years ago. That's. Um. Epic. Only happens for posters with multiple sham personas.)

Thanks.
