[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tech is dead fred. CS programs bleeding out as well. Bust out those basket weaving degrees![/quote]
You seem happy about that. Sounds like [b]typical American[/b]. [/quote]

And you are what exactly?[/quote]

[b]Untypical American.  Educated, strategic, resilient, intelligent,  not poor and not afraid of AI. [/b]

oh, also...family still intact and parents paying for college! :lol: [/quote]

NP:

That's me too. Biglaw here. $25M NW.
Have embraced AI - in everything. It will change our world. Already has.
[b]But, I wouldn't have my kids study CS - right now - or prob ever again.
Be strategic, people[/b].[/quote]

I think your last comment is more relevant...who do you think are the ones creating these new AI companies that you use?  They are primarily CS and other STEM majors.

Right, and if the NW is really $25m, the downside risk of a failed CS career is largely moot, as kids should have the financial flexibility to switch careers more easily. Are you planning to just blow that money before you kick the can?[/quote]

We came from poverty, so I am giving most to charity, each kid gets $500k and must build their own fortune and future.  [/quote]

I say this will all due respect: you're a sucker.

Sure, make some important donations. But put most of it in a trust and put some tight strings on distributions so your kids don't become bottle service degens and eat into the corpus. [b]This is how rich (white) American families stay rich for generations.[/b] You broke the cycle and now you need to pay it forward.[/quote]

There is an ancient Chinese proverb, which goes like this: 富 不过三代 Fu bu guo san dai --&gt; Translation:  “Wealth does not pass three generations”.  This is consistently true for thousand of years.[/quote]
