Just get a programming job
For real. I made the life mistake of getting a PhD but managed to turn it into an asset by doing fairly straightforward finance programming shit that scares people.
doing fairly straightforward finance programming shit that scares people.
The reason it’s straightforward to you and scary to others is because you have a PhD. Even if it’s not in finance, you gained abilities in reading documents, extracting useful information, integrating knowledge, teaching yourself skills, building tools, and generating reports. To most people, those are difficult things.
If only there was a way these people could teach themselves these skills, even without access to a doctorate program!
Done, but I am simply so much better than all the IT majors… I feel superior.
