>Get Ph.D in quantum computing

Why is this allowed? The government should make sure you're given a technical job if you earned the degree for it.
>I had this conversation talking with a pal at … a nice restaurant near one of America’s great centers of learning. Our waiter was amazed and shared with us the fact that he had done a Ph.D. thesis on the subject of quantum computing. My pal was convinced by this that my skepticism is justified; in fact he accused me of arranging this. I didn’t, but am motivated to write to prevent future Ivy League Ph.D. level talent having to make a living by bringing a couple of finance nerds their steaks.

Get Ph.D in quantum computing
because (((quantum))) computing will never exist
Just learn 2 code brah.
Degrees are just pieces of paper. You need merit based accomplishments.
you mean i actually have to work??? BUT I SUCKED SO MANY PROFESSOR'S DICKS!
How about you not be a fucking autistic entitled retard and maybe you could get a real job you nigger.
>allowed
Learn to network
Have sex.
You better get back to work. Also quantum computing is crap.
Umm excuse me, I hate to be a bother, but I ordered this medium-rare.
Honestly, if you have an advanced degree from an Ivy League school and you’re waiting tables, kys. Because you’re a piece of human garbage that will never amount to anything.
If you read the bill of rights you would know that what your recommending can't be done. Lurk more.
Lern 2 sexwork
Kill yourself. It's your fault for wasting time getting a useless degree, you deal with the consequences. Why should other people create a pointless job that isn't needed, just for you? And then pay you for doing that pointless job? Again, kill yourself, moron.
Quantum computing is barely even a field, it's definitely bullshit.
Nobody has applied general purpose quantum computers for any single commercial purpose.
(also d-wave computing isn't general purpose QC in case you wanted to go there.)
That's not the role of government. Government isn't your fiat sugar daddy. It doesn't exist to solve whatever problems you bring upon yourself.
You spent a fortune on a worthless degree. Someone who learned about finance actually found out about something useful.
You learned how to work a machine that doesn't exist. They learned how to manipulate and work with currency, which DOES exist, and which is central to the workings of society.
hi i would like uhh vanilla milk shake without the cherries and my friend would like the cheeseburger medium rare
Have we proved annealing can't be homographed to all general quantum computing problems?
Quantum Computing? More like Quittersville: Population You
Guy isn't as smart as he thinks he is
Universities will charge you outrageous tuition to study anything. You can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars studying anything you can imagine.
It doesn't mean there's an economic payoff.
High school guidance counselors are the ones pushing the meme that the only way to make a living is with a college education.
Once you get to college, it's all 'You NEED to take this diversity class to become a well-rounded person! This isn't a technical school, it's not all career training!'
Do you mean homeomorphed?
Anyway I'm pretty goddamn sure it can't because of what the difference between annealing and general purpose computation is. To put it another way, if you somehow adapted general purpose QC circuits to run on the annealing computer, you wouldn't get any benefit over a classical computer.
Sorry I don't have an authoritative reference for that so take it with a lump of salt.
Judging by what I've seen irl and on social media, those jobs belong to women, Indians, and brown people
Settle in, whitey
To be fair, it is most likely no one at any point pulled them aside and told them that first of all, college isn't necessary and there are secondary options; and furthermore, that the degree they are getting isn't actually worth anything. I'd blame dipshit boomers for shitty parenting and actually telling them the opposite of above, but other friends and family could have told them the truth at one point or another.
I was told the same things all throughout my life.
Then I saw how much the colleges messaging normally ask for.
That was the only clue I needed, and I bailed to look at other lucrative trades.
If he buys FET he will be retired in a month
If someone needs to tell someone something as simple as "don't waste 7+ years getting a degree in something for which there are almost no jobs", then that person shouldn't have a job in the first place.
Trades aren't a thing here, 95% of them barely pay above minimum wage and are actually fucking crappy jobs with long hours and really bad physical work that wrecks you. We don't manufacturer anything, or barely maintain anything, and those that do pay well need a degree in something or another because if you start at the bottom you get stuck at the bottom, there's almost no progression.
can someone link the original video
why would the government go out of their way to disallow people giving them half a million dollars? the university is useless isnt just a meme, its useless and in many cases impractical. thats like having some astronaut class for 2 million goy credit, and complaining when you arnt going on moon missions when its done
Your names probably Brendan isnt it?
Let's say you earned a degree in sucking dog dick. How many jobs are there that the government could guarantee you getting one. And the government only knows force. What are they going to do, hold a gun to some entrepeneur's head telling him he has to pay you to suck dog dick?
I share your feelings bro.
I dont have phD but I 'm gratuated in veterinary.
I'm unemployed for 3 months.
Fuck this overpopulated world
If you spent all that time in college and can’t find employment in a field related to your degree, then the problem is with you, not everyone else.
I didn’t go to college and work a 6 figure job in IT. There’s no way you can’t find employment with a non-meme degree unless you’re completely inept.
BUT ONLY TEENAGERS WORK MINIMUM WAGE
>What are grants and research fellowships
They exist, OP.
No way you spent all this time cranking out your thesis that you couldn't be bothered to inquire of any future lab work or to get along with professors at your university to keep an eye out for you. You don't have to kiss their asses, but you should certainly make a lasting bond. Unless you were a total fucking spaz, surely at least one professor would have been cool with having you in the lab, and prepping you up for gubbamint NSF-shekels.
Honestly, making a network is really what college is about these days, aside from picking up a thing or two. Probably always has been like that desu. Doing 8 years of this stuff should've made it obvious. Government won't hand out shit to you they could care less; they're more concerned doing muh gibs to their brainlet voters and that's about it. Besides, no one said we have a right to be a wagie or to get free shit.
Snap out of it, faggot and know that you gonna make it, only if you game the system whichever way you can.
Oh sweaty, every job is as minimum wage job now. Welcome to the wonderful diverse 2018+1
Okay Jow Forums is clearly fucking retarded. No the reality of the working world is that it is full of fucking incompetence, especially when it comes to hiring new employees. You have to just grind out applications and pray that is the only way to get a job. And networking is a fucking meme all networking is is knowing the right person at the right time, aka pure fucking luck. You just have to keep applying and working to get something and pray, you are not solely in control of your destiny there are other people in the world that have to give you a chance. Nobody exists in a fucking vacuum.
Okay, you have a PHD in quantum computing. Nice. But are you a sick cunt or a sad cunt? Nobody likes sad cunts. You have to be like Zyzz brah. Go to the gym, fuck bitches, that's why we doing this shit bro. We have to be sick cunts.

>become depressed because I realize I’m competing with a bunch of Indians and chinks and I won’t get hired because they only want “diversity” (aka people that aren’t white)

>see nothing but niggers with white women and shitskins selling Chinese made garbage all day
It’s so fucked. All these diversity hires, the fucked work industry and Jewish run media destroying our society. I’ll honestly just be glad when the west completely collapses at this point.
>Being this retarded
Sounds like you're just being a pussy. I'm going into my senior year of electrical engineering with a 3.6 GPA. I have a cash money Fortune 200 internship that pays me $25+ USD an hour, medical, 401(k), and a subsidized 2 bed 2 bathroom apartment that's $230 a month and comes with free maids that come once every 2 weeks. They keep tossing around a 70-80% conversion from interns to full time hires.
I'm a 6'2" Aryan white guy. I have a business minor and I'm the president of the largest EE club at my university.
You just can't compete, sorry user.

It is astonishing to me how many of my employees are wildly more educated than I am. I've had guys and gals with Masters in hard sciences like chem and physics slinging burgers and chicken wings when they weren't able to find a gig in their field. College is beyond a fucking meme at this point until we shut down trade with the chinks and begin bringing jobs back to the States.
Lol sorry user
>There are only 100 quantum computing jobs
> 1000 people currently have a degree in quantum computing

> Somehow this is the government's fault you got a degree with no market value.
Terrible b8
There's some merit to the trades but the meme that everyone should get into them is equally dumb as the meme everyone should go to college.
There's only so many people we need installing shit made in China.
What we really need more of is white men in medical professions so the cost of medicine isn't so fucking high.
Obviously was not good enough to pursue a post-doct somewhere or is just an idiot for not applying to enough uni's but those two things are synonymous.
Maybe try getting educated in something that isn't theoretical. New tech is cool, but only (((they))) are developing it. It's not the government's job to employ you, it's your job to get a useful education.
protip get a postdoc asap if you're closing out your phd. don't do it at your alma mater.
You fucking nigger.
You have discovered the greatest thing on this planet. A source of limitless knowledge, culture, and most importantly, sobering reality.
SO GET THE FUCK BACK INTO mechanical engineering and work an honest man's life. You can do it, user, and along the way you can even meet others who are like-minded or who are very darn close to it. Get the fuck over yourself and learn that the skill you will gain will not only help you make bank in the short run, but will be useful for your survival in the coming years and the eventual toil that will come along with it.
I hope (w/) woke you up, and if not, then this better. Focus on yourself and push yourself to the peak of your ability. Get involved in clubs, extracurricular projects, competitions; get sociable, enact confidence, red/blackpill your friends (wisely, you autist); and take up the craft that has been established by the ancients, carried on for millennia, and still being obsessively pursued to this day. The only fields where it can't get ZOG'd to the point of uselessness due to the inherent subjects it tackles. And you drop out? Fuck no.
Stay in STEM or take a trade; The nation-builders of the future will require men who can improve the life of their Volk. So get your shit together and be one of them, user.
The guy seems a bit arrogant, but some of what he's saying is true. We certainly do have a lot of people who don't know how to build the machines anymore. That said, he probably couldn't either. The entire point is that they've been built by other machines so many times over that it would be physically impossible for any man to do so. That said, he probably couldn't either; and is just jerking himself off. I looked at a couple of his other articles talking himself up about how recruiters are contacting him and other such nonsense. That part I interpret as borderline lying, as our world is finite and they don't call that often.
t. A guy who actually does get inquired for jobs I didn't apply for.
electromech eng is pretty comfy.
If your good and can get clearance it's pretty much a gravy train for life.
It doesn't matter all that much what he majored in. PhDs nowadays are a scam. They give out far more PhDs than there are tenured positions. And unis are moving away from hiring tenured professors in favor of hiring associates for less $$$, who will gladly take the job because academia jobs are unicorns. Yet the unis keep recruiting grad students like it's going out of style, knowing they're dooming all but the most exception to 8-10 years of lost wages, and leaving being overqualified for most jobs.

I applaud him for working in an honest job rather than wasting his life building some pretend machines knowing full well it's fucking bullshit.
Inspiring as fuck
physicist here. If you have a PhD in quantum computing and cant get a job then you must be pretty retarded. quantum computing is one of the biggest things being studied right now. Shitty LARP.
>Based Yebisu-nyan.
>So gundams when? lol
That sounds pretty cozy indeed, user. Coming out of EE myself, I only really focused on hardware or systems engineering work.

> QC worthless ??????
Fuck me, it was a good job no one discouraged George Boole Maxwell, and Faraday then. It was pretty pointless them doing what they did considering none of the things existed which they contributed to. And shit what about Newton? The ONLY reason is was ABLE to publish his work was because a rich man backed him. He was barely eating before that. His parents told him he was a stupid cunt studying mathematics and making up that calculus shit (whatever that meant) and told him to become a farmer instead.
Boomer bootraps and such?
if you can do a phd in quantum computing you can figure out enough math/programming to get a job in finance/tech, so this guy's just a moron who isn't leveraging his skill-set properly
Thanks
If you add the word "quantum" to any field then that doesn't make it scientific
QRD
why isn't another crapcoin?
>Ph.D in quantum computing
Nigger please
Yeah but the medical professions are run like guilds, artificially limiting the supply.
The AMA, the nursing unions, all the big healthcare corps, the lobbying etc. The industry consistently produces a 13% annual rate of return so there's no internal demand for reform in that gravy train.
>spend hundreds of thousands on meme degree
>learn no actual skills
>work as unskilled labor
What part about this is unfair? The guy is getting paid exactly what he is worth in the economy. And if he's so intelligent why is he not learning additional skills or certifications?
There's a lot of questions here.
If he has advanced degrees and is working as a waiter job he is a total loser. Anyone with post-grad certs that isn't working as a white collar professional has no one but themselves to blame.
(((Finance))) what a (((useful))) occupation!

don't mean to be rude I understand the potential benefits of studying quantum computing now that the technology is begining to catch up with the theory, but... do you see any notable employable quantum computing positions right now? No, you'll either need a research position, or you need to spend your time in industry with a slightly different focus. there are plenty of more physicsish oriented positions in computing. and knowing about quantum phenomena is very useful for some fields. but I'm sorry there just aren't many quantum computing positions yet, and there won't be for awhile, so don't go around demanding gibs.

Then everybody clapped.
The End.
You're a fucking moron. The entire reason for all these people with degrees with no demand for them is because of government guaranteed loans inflating the amount of people in college.
You're solution is for the government to make it better? The government only ever makes things worse. What you are suggesting is literally to increase taxes for less benefit. What a fucking idiot. Please don't vote.
This is how scientific research dies.
>You're solution is for the government to make it better? The government only ever makes things worse.
Speaks for itself
The government doesn't need to provide jobs for anyone. If there is no demand for your labor, then you should consider looking elsewhere for employment.
supply and demand, dumb nigger
No demand != no need
>The government should make sure you're given a technical job if you earned the degree for it.
The US was built on entrepreneurs. Most of them didn't go to college whatsoever. You didn't "earn" anything, all you did was decide to spend a lot of money on a piece of paper.
>supply and demand
Is why we will never go to the stars
Well, no university or corporation is willing to pay for his services. So I don't think the need for his skills is too pressing.
>The US was built on entrepreneurs.
Lol
Take all that time, energy and money you use to go to school or learn a trade and deciate in finding the nearest rich person and suck his dick for a job. A piece of paper doesn't have the same power as actual dick sucking.
universities are willing but UNABLE to hire him because they have been DEFUNDED to please muh entrepreneurs FAGGOTS like you.
>They learned how to manipulate and work with currency, which DOES exist, and which is central to the workings of society.
Found the Jew
yes goyim, waste your talents, go suck dick for shekels.
Yes
That's pretty rich. So citizens have to be coerced into propping up institutions that can't stand on their own just to fund paper mills that don't align with the needs of the labor market, or the needs of universities themselves for that matter?
>Quantum Computing
>need a research position
the reason there's limited research going on in quantum computing; it's hard going and may never pay of in the immediate future, if ever. Also, there's not many free dollars left over after all the money moved over to climate change research. if people don't think that most scientists are just looking for the next way to keep their asses employed, they have another thing coming.
>Go work for the government.
Yes, idiot. If they hadn't been so coerced, you'd be living in primitive agrarian conditions now, without as much as a watch.
Part of the reason why the cost of medicine is so fucking high because in the united states you get a free patent if you make a new drug. Normally this patent goes away after a few years, but you can renew if you make an obscure change that may or may not effect the drug. This is why insulin extremely expensive in the united states compared to other countries
