Is a 6 figure salary possible with a CS or SE degree? (1 Viewer)

[turntaker]

I don't think the average pay of ANY degree is 6 figure lol.

I saw this a few minutes ago .

Looking for a high paying job? Seek’s annual review has the top five areas.

Mining is still the biggest payer with almost $121,000 a year on average.

Consulting and strategy offers $108,000 a year

Engineering a little over $105,000 a year

Construction an average $104,700 a year

Information and communication technology almost $100,000 a year

Well your original thread name is "Is a 6 figure salary possible with a CS or SE degree?"

Yes.. Should I change it now?XD

Well in that case, you've answered your own question.

Why does UNSW teach C instead of Java.. o.o

C is so useless

What????

C is a very versatile language and is procedural. There is quite a bit you can do with it.

C is quite handy before you go to lower level's of the computer.

However all of this brings into attention that Computer Science or Software Engineering are not about learning a few particular languages. These degrees are about learning methods which make you a good designer/engineer that understands what to do in various situations involving computing. Any good Computer Scientist or Software Engineer can pick up a random programming language and learn it with some time.

The methods used which are common across all languages, or specific types of languages are what matter most. The specifics of each language are gained through experience, and are not as beneficial as knowing the main techniques used for specific groups of programming.

I agree with what you said. I said C was useless since it's so old and most jobs don't require C

Many things are based off C though. For example, the syntax of Verilog is entirely based on C, but instead of {-} there is begin-end statements.

Also from what I have heard from a friend, assembly languages utilise some things from C. A lot of languages I can imagine do utilise things from C.

Java is more high level and is the reason why some people consider it more "useful".

However, a real programmer would want to go into as much low level as possible, because really that is where you find primitive techniques in programming and where you also learn how everything in the computer works together.

C++ is more commonly used but they are very similar

Also science degree

lmao do you know what you're on about

also lmao again at thinking 6 figures is anything special

 

[anomalousdecay]

Of course in saying that you would want to go into a lot of low level programming, knowing the high level stuff does lead you to using very powerful languages. A broad knowledge of a range of different programs is essentially what you need (hence why its best to learn the techniques of programming rather than learning one specific language).

also lmao again at thinking 6 figures is anything special

inb4 7 figures is not special enough either lel.

Is python be a low level language?

 

[turntaker]

lmao do you know what you're on about

also lmao again at thinking 6 figures is anything special

Dude stop derailing this


But srsly.. How is a 6 figure salary not special?? That's way more than what the average income is. I think you just wanna start some stupid debate

 

[RealiseNothing]

Dude stop derailing this

nah gtfo

nah gtfo

I don't like you bye. Youre banned from this thread

 

[Drifting95]

I don't think the average pay of ANY degree is 6 figure lol (except maybe Med?).

Mining, Consulting and a handful of others according to Seek annual report. Not sure how reliable this shit is anyways...

Almost a million people in Australia earn 6 figures.

Get rid of people under 25 and dropkicks and it's really not special.

Also don't start a thread, get an answer you don't like, then have a cry.
