@GamesMissed yep, I hear you.
My brother is a nuclear engineer. He’s gone through so much training and schooling to get to where he is.
I have not. I have a bachelors in software development that I got because I’m an idiot.
But both of us have worked in the nuclear power industry, and I currently make more money than he does.
:/

@GamesMissed uh, to be clear, i did not make more money _in that sector_ and the work I did was _information security_ related. But still, like, it’d be nice if the folks securing our nations’ nuclear infrastructure against cyber attacks…you know, had a meaningful education and background in cybersecurity, and wasn’t “some rando developer that a security company hired and dressed up like a security engineer. Computers are computers, right?”.
