Does that ever happen? Even after collage?
My parents haven't helped me financially since I was 26 during the last recession. How long do you have to wait? :D

I’ve been browsing the CP forum for a while now and consider you all a thoughtful and intelligent bunch, so I would appreciate your opinions. I have been in the software business for 25 years now and have been involved in every aspect of software. I have coded plenty (started with UCSD Pascal and now do Java). I have managed large programming teams, been a project manager for high pressure consultant firms (during the .COM years), worked as a self employed contractor, was a partial owner of a successful startup, and now do development for laboratory Robotic systems. It all sounds great, but the truth is, I’m burned out. I’m currently under-employed at a mismanaged, thoroughly dull company and I want out of this game. I considered all my career options (short of retirement) and what I would really like to do is teach computer programming to high school kids. Only problem.. the pay stinks. There is no way that I could support my family on the $30,000 a year that a high school teacher makes. Any ideas?
Try University.
You have the thought that modern physics just relay on assumptions, that somehow depends on a smile of a cat, which isn’t there.( Albert Einstein)

The younger you are the bigger the age difference between you and other people appears. This phenomenon begins to wane as you approach thirty. Close to forty, the only age differences are statutory. :suss:
I've noticed. Now I'm in my mid thirties I find I have friends aged from early twenties through 60s.

Teach at the college level. It pays very well.

Ordinary computer jockeys merely write programs; hacking is the domain of digital poets. Hacking is a subtle and arguably mystical art, equal parts wit and technical ability, that is rarely appreciated by non-hackers.

Open a sandwich shop. Everyone loves sandwiches. Make the sandwiches as salty as you can get away with. Sell over-priced iced tea. Eh, that's all i got.
That doesn't work all that well out here... except for Subway. For some reason people keep trying to run a sandwich shop beside the Subway, 0 for 2 so far.

Go back to school and become a Lawyer, they are always in demand, I hear ambulances often... :) How about making a decent video teaching course and selling it? Anything really good is usually so expensive..
