Today, I graduated with a CS degree and a certification in networking, only to make $12/hr. Guess some trade jobs are worthless now. FML

It's really experience based, as a 3 time certified welder, I still don't get paid more than 15 an hour. So hang in there, you'll get paid your worth later on

It's all about experience. A CS degree basically gets you past the arbitrary gate that some companies throw up. I have friends who are absolutely the top of their game with decades of experience, but had to go out and get degrees because some wanker HR person decided it was necessary. When I was hiring IT, I completely disregarded degrees/certifications and asked "what have you done?"

Computer Science as a Trade? Doubtful. "Trades careers are those labor jobs which require specific training, such as a carpenter, a tile setter or an electrician. Much of the labor involved with skilled trades jobs is manual work and can be physically demanding."
