Should I change my major to CS?

I'm currently a senior in an Art History program at a private university in the US. I love art and studying it, but there seem to be very few jobs available. Should I change my major to computer science to keep up with the supply and demand of the job market?

Try communications.

Change to Fart History and become a professional shitposter like me. You will learn about fartism, professional farters, Cudder's anii...everything you need to be an autismal faggot.

Computer Science is just as much as a dead end major as Art History, at least in the United States. Codemonkies are at the bottom of the food chain, two steps above burger flippers.

I'm a programmer and still cant get a job (https://dis.4chan.org/prog/#8)

Although I dont have any degree (havent finished even a school)

Definitely. Start over and accumulate 4 more years of math intensive education and tens of thousands of dollars of debt, then join the workforce at entry level when you are older than most junior programmers. Definitely a bright idea.

Also, that's because you are stupid and you are in Russia. Russia is a country for losers. If someone destroyed it, they'd be doing the world a favor.

If you want to earn your money as a worker in the US, you find it exceedingly difficult to find work and achieve a lifestyle that won't drain your time. The key to living a free life which includes financial freedom is learning about the art of passive income. You can learn this as an investor or a business owner who runs multiple businesses. If you're happy living a standard middle class life with a little savings, you can try the route of a skilled professional like a CS graduate.

Dunno. Mom said I should have became an orthodox priest, because priest is a highly respected profession.

Wouldn't it be too drastic a change?

If you think you can make it, go for it. Good programmers are always in demand. I don't know how you deal with tuition, but if it's not a problem, why not? If it is... well, you be the judge.

You could try your hand at programming before entering first, too, as there is plenty of literature, you just have to sort the bad from the good.

That ``SICP'' book that gets namedropped here is actually good to learn the fundamentals, but you require a bit more math than you probably know right now at the beginning (it's aimed at first or second year students at engineering schools, who have already covered or are covering the material along the course), and it can be a bit daunting in general, so better stave it off for later.

Pick Learn Python the Hard Way and go through it, or head off to a forum with fewer jackasses than here and ask. Get a taste for it and decide if you want to keep with this ``programming'' thing, then see what to do next.

Stay away from PHP and Javascript, though. The former was made by retards, and the latter in a 10-days marathon, so they're crap, and they're popular with clueless idiots, who write shit tutorials. Go for them later (but I'd skip PHP altogether; it's in demand but the language is terrible and the pay is shit).

Good luck.

Actually, both were made by Jews and Mossad Agents: PHP indulges a lot of server-side backdoors, while JS is one-big client-side backdoor. That is in addition to Windows and IE having their own backdoors.

>>10
PHP is open source and there are open source JS engines.

Go to bed, Ahmed. Or to work, whatever timezone your little piece of frozen wasteland resides in. Oh, right, you're a NEET, because of the evil Jews, most surely.

>>11
I'll give that there could be anything lying among the filth that is PHP's source code.

>>11
The design of PHP itself indulges backdoors. And open source doesnt protect the presence of backdoors - something as simple as integer overflow can give your bash access.

>>13,14
The point with open source is that you are only as helpless and you wish to be. If you want to be lazy or completely trusting, then so be it. If you want to audit how it works, you have to take the initiative to make it happen. If you don't like how it works, you should take the initiative to change it because you have access to the source. It's completely up to you.

>>15
Your time on this Earth is limited. Whether it's long or short depends on your perspective. Either way, I wouldn't wish to spend it auditing PHP's internals, thank you very much. There are so many better, more productive, more enjoyable ways to spend it, such as shitposting on /prog/. But not on analyzing Rasmus' piece of shit code.

Oh, and the more general point here is, that just because it's open source, it doesn't mean it's more secure, because GPL-licensed or not, code is still code, and it can be well or badly engineered, and it may or may not be feasible to analyze, correct or extend.

>>12
That was HYMIE quality!

>>17
No Ahmed, you are the hymies.

there are backdoors in openbsd open source code. there are backdoors everywhere. nobody can read millions of lines of code, let alone understand them. there are hardware backdoors, too. not that it matters.

>>19
Even I have a back door. *farts*

>>19
Someone doesn't understand hierarchical commit sign-offs and webs of trust. No single person has to read every single line of code.

>>19
That's how things are in Russia.

>>21
webs of trust.
Yeah. You can trust Andi Gutmans, Zeev Suraski and the whole Israel.

>>23
Goyim can't audit code, they're too dumb.

>>24
Neither can Jews. Remember the Pentium floating point bug?

>>25
We did that on purpose to see whether goyim had evolved. Considering how long it took you to figure it out, you're still classified as cattle.

>>21,23
I trust my scheme source and binary checkers.

>>27
No citation is needed. Go read it yourself.

>>27
Well as long as they weren't written by dumb goys, I suppose you could trust them.

>>19
As I said before, you are only as helpless and trusting as you wish to be with open source. With zero source, you have zero choice to verify.

Boy you guys totally ignored the OP in having this terrible discussion.

>>30
try reading the firefox source, fucktard.

>>28
Well, where are these alleged backdoors in OpenBSD? I trust the OpenBSD team so I have no cause to audit their work. There were allegations of copyright infringement in the ReactOS project but a code audit found nothing. So please, I need a citation for this allegation.

>>32
I don't bother because I trust them. I implicitly trust all open source software for the reason that the project maintainers want to keep their good reputation amongst the community. If I did want to audit the Firefox project, I'd probably invest 6-8 weeks of my full time to that endeavor.

>>33
OpenBSD is written in C, an inherently unsafe language.

>>35
core of every os is written in c

>>36
every os
But that's wrong, you fucking retard.

>>37
sepples is unsafe shit too

>>34
you trust people because you are a fucktard. you couldnt audit firefox if you wanted.

>>37
Every OS literally anyone uses.

>>40
I guess you're one of those faggots who has never used a Lisp machine.

check 'em

>>42
Check what, non-dubs fagstorm?

>>43
I stole that dumb Goy's dubs, the same way we Jews steal everything.

>>44
I love the way you steal things, JEW-san. I truly do.

>>35
not if you audit he code yourself with another program. I do in chicke-scheme, with various checkers.

>>1,OP, do >>2, then on your free time take take programming if you have an interest. NOT change majors, unless you got the money.

>>46
I understand now! >>42-san didn't get dubs because he didn't audit his code! The Jews used an exploit to steal his dubs!

I only got into CS after I failed my web design courses for the second time. I still feel like a failure every time I have to write a stupid boring algorithm when all my frat bros are out living as artists in webmastering. It's just so unfulfilling.

Stick with art history bro. That's where the real careers are.
