One shot at life

CS isn't a meme but if you're not cut out for it it can be soulcrushing.
I'd argue that becoming a writer requires basically no qualifications, while for CS, the school you went to, the contacts you made there, and what projects you got to take part in all have a huge impact on where you will end up working.

OP, you can start writing right now in your free time. Dropping out of school just to pursue writing would be a mistake

Just write. It's that easy. Read as much as you can to see what other people have already done. No use complaining if you haven't even tried.

Hold on, let me get my chart out

it's a /sci/ meme that they perpetuate to comfort themselves that working as a lab tech for 6 years for their phd wasn't a waste of time instead of doing CS

meds.

After reading this, I want to snort Ketamine off of Critique of Pure Reason and start reading it while dissociated.

It's a meme because your starting job is barely above minimum wage writing the html code for porn adverts

If you have a CS degree you can get pretty much any easy job you like. I would suggest getting one that fits your financial habits and spend any moment you have off writing and listening to English, creative writing and humanities lectures on the internet.

Good luck, you're going to do great.

untrue. much like any other sufficiently broad field like law or chemistry, you can earn peanuts or 6 figures base for a junior starting pos. if your main concern is money, going into sre/devops or networking/security are probably your best bets. boring as fuck of course (current devops engineer) but whatever, job's a job.

>mccarthy didn't even start reading for pleasure until he was 23
wow, source for this? that sounds unbelievable

>asian male white female
how did he do it?

I love images like these because everytime I see them I realize how desperate and inferior other races are. To that guy, this is an amazing accomplishment. To losers on the internet, it's a cause for mass propagation to suggest regularity. The need for validation, positive and negative captured by this phenomenon (which is frankly rife on the internet) speaks more about the psychology of races than a million books.

>not spending six years in a lab for your CS PhD

By being 6'0" or taller I guess

His wikipedia page says he claims he didn't start reading until he was in his 20s in the air force

Won't know until you try. Don't stress too much bro

Yeah that explains why McCarthy is a hack.

Can I get by bullshitting? I got by copying-pasting code. I can barely code myself without Googling.

Stupid and weak chinks.

>he didn't at least get a minor in philosophy or literature or classics
Why? Even as STEM, I had enough flexibility in class choice to start and complete a minor in my junior/senior years. Not that it does anything for you other than provide personal satisfaction, the act of reading will prepare you infinitely better to write than any lecturer.

Plenty of writers had stem careers. Musil did climate science stuff. Platonov was a land reclamation expert.

Delicious feet
Books for this feel?

well well, the lesser-spotted rice-cooker.

Hubert Selby thought "well if I can spell, I can write a novel". So he did. All you need is guts and talent.

If most shit on a bestseller list can make it through publication, then so can you user.

Good post user, this really sums up what`s going on right now

Just doing writing in your free time. A skill to learn while your not working. Read about the humanities you dipshit instead of crying and complaining about not knowing them you baby

She looks asian

Edgar Rice Burroughs didn't start writing until he was 31. He was a pencil-sharpener wholesaler. He got his start because he looked at trashy pulp magazines and novels, and thought, "I could do this and better." Not exactly a high art luminary but he was prolific and his stories live on.
Thomas Hobbes was basically middle aged when he started writing and publishing his own works. I think in his 50s. He hated the universities of the time, though he had a classical education, other than learning Greek, he didn't put much stock in it. I think he learned Latin later in life. Still managed to redefine English political philosophy and European political philosophy in general.
JRR Tolkien had academic training, but didn't publish his work until he was older.
The point is, lots of greats didn't start until they were older. A lot of famous writers were BAs, MAs, MFAs, or PhDs. But plenty else were not.

As a slavic male who can’t get white or slavic women due to being ugly, I feel like shit.

It's a meme because it's a predictable career choice for 20 something year old men and demands zero creativity i.e. it's for autists

>If you have a CS degree you can get pretty much any easy job you like.
Why do people here lie so brazenly?

Language is a better choice of minor, at least in the US. I remember taking one literature class as an elective, and the professor asserted that the wrestling of Gilgamesh and Enkidu in the streets was metaphorical language for gay sex. His reasoning is that in the original language, the same word can be used to describe both acts.
