Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

If you're not interested in the "tech industry" you might still be able to leverage your skills into IT

Exactly what I was thinking. Computer Science/Engineering are fundamental fields of study now, like learning math, because computers are everywhere. You don’t strictly need to build apps for a living just like a math degree doesn’t limit you to being a mathematician. There are many companies that need someone who can help the boomers manage some computer shit that might not even be difficult for anyone born after 1990.
