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!

Probably a stupid idea but this job is making me lose it and it keeps getting worse. Plus I'm trying to get my masters and I don't need the distraction. Though the masters is in a tech field and there are no tech jobs anymore so idk why the fuck I'm bothering.

Oh well.

congrats on putting in notice.

I don't regret getting my non-professional MS in what "smart money" considered a settled/dead discipline. I learned a bunch of shit I wanted to know and developed a lot of peripheral knowledge/skills in the process. and the credentials has never hurt me, quite the opposite since I shifted into public service.

Thanks. Yeah I'm trying to study cybersecurity but everyone is saying that field is dead now. I'm almost finished so I might as well go through with it now it all I see in my future is being the 3rd guy with a masters at the Dairy Queen.

It is not dead, if anything AI is gonna make it so, so much harder to stop.

Because there is a massive recession hidden by AI stocks and nobody wants to admit it yet.
