for a lot of pmc shit you can even skip college if you decide "busting into the pmc without going to college" is a thing you're gonna do it's probably more likely than whatever else you're betting on! (tbc, as a college skipper - do college it's easier)

Btw becoming professional-managerial class is not in fact something you’re inherently born into You can do it. You just have to go to college. That’s how you do it, your parents’ background can make that easier but if you’re a US citizen without a specific kind of conviction you can get loans

my wife is a college dropout software eng and has a great big tech salary but unfortunately this particular big tech wont promote past senior software engineer for the degreeless. she oughta be a principal at this point. still a good deal for her long run given her starting conditions but, annoying

if its worth it and qualifies within their professional context, an online degree is affordable and achievable fairly quickly, and many providers grant credit for professional experience this may be known to you, but snhu, wgu, asu, umgc, purdue, etc, are happy to turn $ and time into degree

took a second to parse that if she said "i'll go back to school for you", and they said "nah, too late" i hope this job is past tense or will be soon

i know it sounds fucked up and i was pissed to hear it because she deserves better but, it's a really good job and circumstances conspire to make holding on to it a better choice than interviewing right now.
