Degree in Automotive Computer Science?
I was chatting with my friend Tom K the other day about life, liberty, and the pursuit of extracting oneself from a cubicle farm, when we stumbled across the career of auto-mechanic.
That’s right, we both can program computers, and fixing cars these days involves intricate knowledge of fancy gadgets (what geek can resist fancy gadgets?). Furthermore, it looks like salaries are comparable to high-flying silicon valley jobs. Soon, car companies will offer stock options to their ‘auto technicians,’ GM will recruit straight from the Computer Science program at Berkeley, and slashtire.org will be overloaded with postings about open-source engine management software.
Stranger things have happened.
Take this quiz to see if you want to be a car mechanic.
