since you are… so you must know how to…
every computer scientist in training knows that someday in not too distance future they will be called upon by their cousin or best friends friend for this obligatory rescue mission:
‘my pc won’t boot, too many pop ups, i swear i didn’t do anything, i clicked on this link from this email and it showed Paris Hiltons’ boobies and everything just blew up (without me doing anything, i swear)…please help me’
Just because our degree has the word ‘computer’ inscribed on the scroll, that must mean we are the dummies guide to everything remotely related to a computer. Biggest fucking social misperception of all time. For crying out loud, we even design a t-shirt to show the world our pain and sorrow.
so I rarely broadcast my major anymore. 3 years working in this supposedly real world, it really doesn’t matter much anyway. Besides, what I’m doing right now, people won’t even realize you need a computer science degree to do it well. Management people gives us a bunch of titles, there’s user experience designer, interaction designer, UI designer, front end engineers and bla. Luckily, the worst ‘since you are… so you must know how to…‘ we get is this:
it’s much easier than fixing your Windozzz, trust me.
