Programming is like the only thing I enjoy that pays money, fortunately it pays pretty well. I'm a CS major now but I feel like I'm betraying my values by doing something that pays so well. I know it's not necessarily bourgeois, definitely petite bourgeois but idk it still feels kinda gross

    My dad is a mechanical engineer doing something with nuclear waste idk (we actually have one of the highest engineers per capita here) and the engineers here definitely don't act bougie. There are definitely jobs in engineering that aren't part of the military industrial complex they just aren't as promoted
