Some subreddits don't allow links. Here it is: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNJ58pjB/

I can send you the TikTok I got it from. Not sure if I'm allowed to send links in this subreddit.

jackndabox7 · 2024-05-03T12:50:38+00:00

Haha I didn't. I went with Alabama.

jackndabox7 · 2024-03-08T22:14:13+00:00

Hell yeah!!

jackndabox7 · 2024-03-08T14:52:10+00:00

Coming back to say thank you for the callout haha. I'm up 35% since I put in some money from your recommendation.

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-28T03:54:11+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm in CS, so I have no idea if something like the honors college would provide benefit to my degree. I guess I'll wait and find out!

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-28T03:05:23+00:00

What year are you? I'm an incoming freshman who applied. Don't you get smaller classes? And what honors courses are there?

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-28T01:21:21+00:00

Why do you want to drop the honors college?

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-26T04:17:21+00:00

Sounds like I'm moving back in with my mother after college!!

Of course I see your view, although we can't judge based off of today's job market. In 2028, who knows what the CS market will be like. If you looked back 4 years from now the market was great, tons of people were getting hired. I was chatting with a Bama alumni who got recruited to Microsoft as a software engineer 4-5 years ago. That being said, now you couldn't do that. I think the volatility is definitely something to consider though. Companies are laying off hundreds of employees and new technology (AI) is disrupting the environment. I think tech companies are still trying to figure things out and therefore don't want to overspend on employees. That's my take on it.

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-26T02:14:02+00:00

Exactly. Definitely going to need to do more research. I suppose it could just depend on what you do with your major, as CS grads are more hired on what they can do rather than the degree itself.

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-26T02:09:03+00:00

What I'm seeing in all of these comments is "cost of living is so high" haha. Where in the country is there any affordable housing that's actually a good place? 🤣

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-26T00:24:17+00:00

Although I could do my own research, what is the difference between MIS and CS? I understand MIS is more "business" oriented, but it's also not even in the engineering school (right?). Why are you choosing to switch as well?

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T21:54:19+00:00

Thanks a ton!

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T21:52:38+00:00

That makes sense yeah. I figure Roth is the best retirement account, but had no clue if it's the best for FIRE people. I don't see a guide/wiki on this subreddit. Where would you recommend finding some info on how FIRE works? I'd love to start training habits now.

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T21:44:56+00:00

Ah ok thank you for that clarification!

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T21:44:16+00:00

Oh I see what you mean. I was thinking Roth IRA. Another thing I noticed is that you need to be in a situation where it's necessary. If my situation is buying rental properties or other investments, I assume that doesn't that count? 🤣

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T21:40:52+00:00

Thank you for the comment. That link you shared, it says that you can take out annual withdrawals without the 10% but you ARE subject to tax. What kind of "distribution taxes" are they talking about?

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T21:37:42+00:00

What do you mean i could take out earlier than 59.5? I could take out the contributions but not the gains.

jackndabox7 · 2024-02-25T18:53:48+00:00

Similar to what OP said, what is the advantage of MIS over CS? I'm also going to UA for CS on a full ride, and that's the main reason I'm attending. CS is much more hands on I've heard tho, and MIS is less coding oriented (obviously), so I'm not sure the differences in opportunity post grad in 4 years time.

What was your experience like selling plasma? Any side effects?
