conv: upcoming events scare me to death i am just so scared of what is going to happen in the future_comma_ i need to make money_comma_ have a house_comma_ own a car_comma_ and other materialistic good because  i am a person of the 21st century and i cannot afford any of this so i need to get a job_comma_ but all these jobs are paying me next to nothing despite my masters degree in computer science_comma_ what to do? Yikes_comma_ that's a tough one and I can definitely feel your pain on the job market. I think either network your way to a higher pay job (depends on connections) or possibly go back to school to a doctorate or certain specialist degrees. ummm? excuse me? do you know people earn a lot from computer science_comma_ it is not my degree for sure_comma_ it's this corrupt world we live in that's the problem Yes but the market is quite flooded with CS degree holders. It's hard to get something unless you are specialized I think. Unfortunately I don't see society changing any time soon.
