There is life outside of Comp Sci.
"Correct, instead of studying comp sci, in order to be able to work for $100k and up at Google and not be dependent on a man, the girls these days want to become Liberal Arts and Women's Studies majors so they can make ZIPPO and piss and moan that they are not earning as much as the guys."
Brightstar, I don't know much about what other girls want these days. As for me, I like computers and all; I just wouldn't be able to stand a job that required staring at one for 12 or more hours per day. Hurts my eyes. And I have priorities other than making as much money as humanly possible. And things that I'm better at and love more. There is a whole, beautiful world between "studying comp sci, in order to be able to work for $100k and up at Google and not be dependent on a man," and "becom[ing] Liberal Arts and Women's Studies majors so they can make ZIPPO and piss and moan that they are not earning as much as the guys." It just doesn't take $100K to "not be dependent on a man."
I have a science degree. I don't make a lot, but I'm dependent on nobody and I don't have a lot of time for pissing and moaning.
