  But you don’t need a stem degree to work for a tech company. My wife makes more than me as a product marketing manager and she has an English major. I am a product manager and used to be a programmer. There’s plenty of pathways into the tech world without a stem degree. Sales, and marketing are necessary for businesses to thrive and those do best with humanities degrees.
context: People don't understand how the world works when it comes to such things. A career in tech is not suitable for everyone just like becoming a doctor or teacher is not suitable for everyone. You need certain inclinations/talents. >
  
  No, you don’t need talent. You do need desire >
  
  This
  If you aren't good at tech you can learn
  If you have no desire to learn tech then you never will. >
  
  If you mean anyone can learn to become a 50k/yr IT tech guy, sure.
  If you mean anyone can learn tech and become a Sr developer at Google or Amazon and make 300k/yr, no.
  There are certain inclinations some people have, and some people struggle with the basic skills you need to even understand code much less write it.  If everyone could just learn anything, everyone would be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer or a Wall Street analysts. >

  Literally they could, lmfao. I want you to understand that being in the medical field or being on Wall street doesn't indicate how intelligent you are, all it does is indicate that you had enough money to pay for college. >
  
  You need to have good grades to get into schools and good jobs to be able to become these things, no? >
  
  
  You need to have good grades to get into schools 
  
  If you are poor, 100%. If you have enough money, good grades aren't a prerequisite. >
  
  I feel like no amount of wealth is getting you into Harvard Business School or any T10 Law Schools. These schools which are hard to get into and take academically brilliant undergraduates are the top schools large firms recruit at and are going to be making more than any of their peers >
  
  The real success is to be good in a domain you like. >
  
  People post what they know, comp sci has more access to Reddit throughout the day so you get more Comp Sci people posting their experiences. It's nothing more than that. >
  
  Statistically speaking, if you want to make money, go to tech. 
  Not everything is measured in financial success and you can have an amazingly fulfilling life doing important things to society like being a teacher or a social worker. But it is really hard to make a decent living doing those types of things.
