Is there a dude in IT on the Coli that makes less than 6 figures? Just asking.
Yeah, I am. $35k/yr.
But I'm 23, live at home, pay my car note and cell bill and still have enough to invest in a mutual fund to pay for lawl school.
entry level jerb but I'm not complaining, when I started in 2011 I had no certifications whatsoever. Within 6 months I had my A+ and Network+ certifications.
except for lawl school 
how much programming do you IT guys do? and how much can tc/ip and socket programming skills get you?
oh and which one of you y'all using
for your meetup picture
see you going to the nyc c++ meetup i might hit that up too

not sure what that has to do with my statement about management, but I wish you the best breh.. try to find a company willing to give you that up north salary while still living in the South. A lot more remote gigs out there nowadays so it's possible
I'm trying to keep those expenses down as much as I can. Thats the key. Makes no sense to reach 6 figures only to then go from having no car note to a $800 car note and $700 rent to $2400 monthly rent. thats just hustlin backwards

I have no strings on me.
Unless you are doing low-level programming like Embedded/network drivers etc. Companies usually dont look for just that or even list it, since most languages have build in libraries that take care alot of the work for you.
But having the skills never hurt.

Pay your car off and that extra money will have you feeling
about to pay off the last 6G's on my car and keep it until the wheels fall off. I know so many people who let their car get below $10g and then go out and buy a new one.
The balance on my loan is $5,201.05. I'm trying to have it paid off by May and like you said, ride until the wheels fall off.

I never want to have a car payment again.....this is my first car I'm paying for and I hate it.
I think i'll still invest into my mutual fund during law school and sit on it and buy my first car post-grad in cash. Though it won't be an Audi, BMW, Mercedes or typical 1st year associate car, I can roll around knowing I ain't paying shyt for it and my money can go elsewhere.
