So awesome. Currently majoring in accounting but computer science seems so cool. Wish my brain was smart enough to handle all the math and engineering classes. Please be honest if there are anything you hate about working in the software industry.
Although understanding the different functionalities associated with software engineering, it really doesn't require a complex understanding of math, You just need a computer science degree. Its also very antonymous from physical engineering. That being said, it's still very intellectually demanding
Dont stop. Im a Mechanical Engineering major, im almost about to transfer to university from my community college. I take c++ next semester. Just stay motivated and make sure school is always the focal point of your life. Dont let no job, girls or friends distract you, dont take time off of low units per semester. Just go head strong.
Here in the States, anybody can pursue software engineering. At my particular college, the only requirement to start the Computer Science major is to have credit for Pre-calculus I or proficiency on a placement exam that tests mostly math and a little logic.
i dont know about usa but here in Israel I started my B.Sc without any knowledge ...and it is going great ...i even have better grades than few guys who had a lot of experience...u do need motivation...and a lot of patience. good luck
I believe it depends on what job you have. Some jobs can be nice some jobs can be routines after routines and those are the ones you would want to avoid, that is if you want to get better with your skills.
No. I'm very familiar with the medical field. When you get your associates degree, you can already out of the gate make $50/hr depending on where your location. All you need is a two years, and you can make good money. And while you make good money, you can go to school to further your education at the bachelors level. So no, definitely not time wasted.
e521soediv what associate's degree allows that? I honestly am motivated by money, and I'd say I have a proficient learning ability, but the thing is I'm lazy as hell, and if it's possible to get a $50 per hour job with an associate's then I'm highly interested, you said you're majoring in mechanical engineering. is the job in the medical field related to the technological area?
2:25 Is a code review of their db. This reaffirms I need to review stored procedures, aggregates, triggers etc before graduating. Very exciting though, recognizing what we have done in projects in the real world. I don't think that's sql server management studio though lol.
+Iam AJ social anxiety... I get super duper nervous talking to people. I begin fumbling and stuttering.. so bad that people think I have a disorder of some sort when it's just anxiety.
Well I used to think that Google was unique in its work environment but after a couple of years I realized that 90% of software companies are like them with their work environments. Literally nothing stood out about this company that separates it from all the rest. Not saying it is a bad thing, but they should have focused on maybe some more unique things about what they do.
this job is too quick for me, even though I love learning to program, doing it as a job is nothing for me, i think it's easier for me to become an electrical engineer.
I have a BS and a MS in Computer Science and if I can go back in time I would never entered the IT workforce as a developer. Developers are expected to do everything - write code in Java,Spring,Hibernate, SQL, JavaScript/AngularJS know all the major application servers, do things that would take 15 days in 5-10 days meanwhile you report to some dumb ass with a degree in History or psychology or pathology who couldn't find a job in their field and then entered IT as a helpdesk person, did some QA or requirements and now is your PM. These morons cannot even assign work and just manage hours. Think about it you the talented guy who creates it all reporting to some history,psychology or education major who never did one line of coding in her life. There are too many cool women also entering the workforce who won't want to work hard so they do requirements, or UX and then within few years become some PM. We have people who used to be secretaries or bar tenders who are IT managers. Most developers are spineless dorks that cannot voice their opinion and just keep on working like dogs making these secretaries take all the credit.
11m0 pseudo union. SE's need to act bold and question these POS. Don't just act like dorks and let them command you. Tell them you are a knowledge worker and if you don't respect even a single one of us no one will do it 'correctly'. But then there comes the Indian contractors : )

+KWorker Hey! It's a good idea to get an econ degree? I'm studying economics, and I'm not sure how is the job market... I'm bilingual and have some CS credits. Thanks!
***** So you must be one of those non-technical Managers who look like idiots during meetings or discussions. Siting there clueless like a little kid. I don't want to be a parasite, I like to contribute. Btw I don't think you make more than I do. I have been averaging more than $150K/yr for past 6 years and I am in my 30s. I know I make more than most Managers and I have been a Manager too but money wasn't much. Efficient?? If the technical skilled guys with brains don't do their work, what hours would you stare on your computer all day. There are real IT managers who are in software companies, they used to be technical, I was once that. You are those managers who should be more appropriately termed Secretaries. That's exactly what you do. Secretary work. Google, Microsoft, Amazon were technical people. You probably work for a non-IT company like Insurance, Finance where you got in IT, didn't know what to do, knew someone and they kept you somewhere where you even a English major can survive. MBA is a joke these days, everyone has it pay $30K and get an online MBA.

Can anyone tell me if I should get an econ degree?
Programming or Engineering is fun and we Engineers love it. But be sure to get in a software company, otherwise you will report to a dumb English major,lol
Michael Scott Back in the early 90s when I started with Unix it was all you got to configure the system. And since my cc was on that system as well I sorta grew into it and now I feel comfortable in it. Even though I now code most of my time in an IDE on Windows, I still have it engrained in me. Recently we had to do something on a unix machine with VI and my colleague was struckling and I was Like: 1G (go to home), YY(copy that line) P paste it. He was like: "You do it! We'll be done faster with this nonsense" I taught AIX courses and one of the perquisites was for people to know vi. Most didn't so I spend a lot of time explaining the basics. I hated that :) so I often skimmed over the CLI based configuration later on and went straight to SAM tool for those people :) they were relieved, I was relieved and the other students who knew their way around were relieved not to linger teaching how to use a bloody editor =)
Yep! As Ghostly has said, Macs are great at coding and it's almost identical to a UNIX environment (don't even get me start on UNIX vs Linux vs MacOSX). It's all about choosing your weapon or adapting to the programming environment your project is in. I would NOT use a Mac if I wanted to create a windows application. But if I cared about cross platform compatibility, like if I was using Java or Python, or if my server was set up in a Linux environment, Macs would work just as well :) - Just some software engineer somewhere
Can someone please help? I'm 12 years old. Started playing CS when i was 2 on the first xbox. Grew up with a "Bad" child hood. And at the at of 6. I started coding. I'm in year 8 now. And my choice's are coming up. What do i pick to be a software engineer? Please someone reply.

You aren’t an engineer unless you have an engineering degree like me. I studied software engineering and I earned my title through my study. Just coz you learned programming that doesn’t make you an engineer. Sorry.
thanks for sharing, I'm gonna make a video soon about how not to give up as a early programmer
give link
Just stick with it man, stay focused and determined.

e521soediv how is it
Did you finish that degree?
I doubt choosing the right field of IT for me. :( But I love SE.
Isn't this the website that sells random furniture for your house? I didn't know it actually had this many people working on it...
xbe you need that many people

Im 25 years old IT was alwasy my passion , is it worth to start learning from the beginning to get a job in this field
Algerian Freethinker ditto. 25, account exec, currently learning Python on Udemy & books. It’s harder than I thought it was
That PHP code is just so ugly
Well, I could agree with you. lol :D
You use spaces and not tabs don't you.?
Don't lie..
PHP itself is ugly lol
2:25 Is a code review of their db. This reaffirms I need to review stored procedures, aggregates, triggers etc before graduating. Very exciting though, recognizing what we have done in projects in the real world. I don't think that's sql server management studio though lol.
Cory DuCharme dont bother, instead read up on nosql. We use non-relational dbs now. Start using mongoDB... sql studios is deprecated now
i am an msc thank god this elementary and yes they need a developer on the db seems th software people are just trying to access it
i would love to learn how to program but i don't think i would be very good at it.
I have SA do you think this will ruin my dream in getting a job as a software engineer? :(
+Aizen Sosuke What is SA?

What's the instrumental?
Do you need any software knowledge, coding, languages and so on, if you want to study for software engineering?
Does a salesman need to sell things?
this job is too quick for me, even though I love learning to program, doing it as a job is nothing for me, i think it's easier for me to become an electrical engineer.
Is there some problem if I'm accustomed to use Linux ?

What the name of Jesus is that query at 2:25 omg
You forgot the part about mid-life crisis, when you realize that you spent all of your younger years in front of a computer screen lol
Your just jealous cuz they make the tripple of what you make in a year rofl
A day in the life ... web developer. Pls be precise !!
Degree in astrophysics?! Does that have anything to do with his job?
I think I read somewhere that programming is really useful for astrophysics so they can create their own simulation programs or something.
Nowadays almost everything relates to programming, mechanics, mathematics, physics. I have a degree in electronics and work as an embedded programmer.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Higher Education (TM) and having a shiny degree from Harvard because your parents made over 400k/yr.
no one call him self programmer and his desk clean
Notepad lmao
notepad++ its for coding
vi! Well vim to be precise that is my thing
+Raymond Doetjes I used to despise vim... now it's my go to! :P

Ganesh, if you really use notepad++ for coding, stop coding. immediately. please.
So how much money do u make
They show a city and they never say what city they are located at. Lol.
That's Boston.
What is the Editor/IDE at 1:48?
I don't know but it looks terrible :P
It looks like notepad ++
what lagnuage is does not look like vb c# or java
Ahsan Siddiqui That's PHP
+curlymike It's an IDE+Text Editor called UEStudio.First time seeing it.
i want this nowwww! :(
Is this representative of most software engineers? Or just a fluke?
2:25 No one can understand this kind of SQL query. Bad engineering
0:39 is that fkin photoshop? You don t need to be a software engineer to work with that!
why no comments?
Mac for coding?:?
Any Linux system really...
Yep! As Ghostly has said, Macs are great at coding and it's almost identical to a UNIX environment (don't even get me start on UNIX vs Linux vs MacOSX). It's all about choosing your weapon or adapting to the programming environment your project is in. I would NOT use a Mac if I wanted to create a windows application.

- Just some software engineer somewhere
any docker container!!! even better and cooler
this guy is just a web developer he is not a software engineer....A real software engineer is called JAVA DEVELOPER...........
LOL
Oops :)
Your company has a diversity problem. Hope you've addressed that 5 years on.
Can someone please help? I'm 12 years old. Started playing CS when i was 2 on the first xbox. Grew up with a "Bad" child hood. And at the at of 6. I started coding. I'm in year 8 now. And my choice's are coming up. What do i pick to be a software engineer? Please someone reply.
Johnny Cat Yo Cat,
I played CS at 2,
started learning code at the age of 6,
i also work for networks with code.
And got my choices completed with A* levels. :P,
and it's possible for a 2 year old to learn to code don't be silly.
I learnt XHTML the oldest version on to code a crappy website at 3.
i learned binary when i was 1
learned java, CS, and python when i was 2.
i am now 9 years old and working at google

well , this doesn't look very fun .I don't wanna set around with a bunch of nerds, with tech around every corner. maybe SE isn't the career for me .
