I worked in graphics. I am in a different field now.
I worked in the graphics dept of an investment bank.
Thank God we weren’t considered that skilled or there would have been no overtime lol!!
It was Manhattan so it paid well.
But of course there’s not a future like a programmer has.
BTW, the india graphics dept was SO BAD that it closed down after THREE YEARS.
Their work was AWFUL, BEYOND AWFUL.
I imagine the programming was no better.
It is TERRIBLE that they take jobs from STEM kids and that Mike Lee, a republican, was pushing for so many more!!
I wish your son the best. I’m sure he is doing great now
Thanks. He’s doing fine.
He did have a hard time for a bit. He’s a bit anti-social in the grumpy sense. Not a total desk nerd—he played hockey. Anyway, he was in a Ph.D. program in physical chemistry, but his professor died. He didn’t get along at all with the guy who took over the lab (A Chinese guy, in the worst sense, and I often like Chinese), so he had to master out, and then he fell into an H1B pit in the oilpatch while oil was dropping from $100/bbl to $27. But he’s doing great now. Deep science background and he was always good with computers.
