    They should have one of the little mics in their sleeves like the secret service, and every time someone orders, they can raise their wrist to their mouth and whisper the order while looking all serious. The baristas will nod as they receive the order in their headset, and say "roger".

    12 km? Why not just put up a zip line or an underwater vacuum tube? Seems more efficient with higher volume and less noise/power.

  20. Re:Job market does not like PhDs on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 1

    The PhD'd computer scientists in my organization are starting around $100K+ and making $150K+ with experience. This is comparable to the PhD'd computer scientists I know who are working as Professors. I'm sure that people who earn $24K as an adjunct are just working a few hours a week to teach a class or to collaborate on research while they make $100K+ in their real job.

  21. Re:ask your advisor on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 1

    This. My thoughts are that if you don't know someone on the inside asking you to apply, it's probably not worth your time applying.

  22. Re:Best to pretend you don't have the PhD... on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 1

    Definitely DO NOT do this!

    The PhD does have value. Your salary expectations are realistic.

    But you are not a programmer. So if someone views you as an inexperienced programmer, you're in the wrong interview.

    Find jobs that require PhDs, there are many of them out there, and you will easily land your 6-figure salary and likely not have to do much programming.

  23. Re:Why? on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    To this point...if you have a PhD, you're not really qualified as a software engineer/developer anyways. You probably shouldn't be applying to vanilla programming jobs and you shouldn't be in interviews where someone asks you detailed coding questions.

    Find a job where you can leverage your skills as a scientist, as a researcher, and as someone who can write proposals and lead others.

    Borrowing from gun control language...

    It's not F-22s that kill people. We don't need to limit our weapon production. It's people that kill.
